A four-camera smartphone may be up Samsung’s sleeves, which the company plans to reveal in an Oct. 11 event.
Leakster Twitter account “@SamsungMobile.News” suggested the new device would be the Galaxy A9 Star Pro (SM-A920) and have four cameras lined up from top to bottom on the left-hand backside of the phone plus a flash.
Galaxy A series devices are the South Korean phone maker’s mid-range line that threads the balance between affordability and high-end features. This described device with four cameras could give Samsung an advantage in the mid-range smartphone market.
Other details from the leaked information by @SamsungMobile.News mentioned three colors, namely Black, Blue Gradient and Pink Gradient. The device may also come with a headphone jack, fingerprint sensor, a dedicated Bixby Button and a slightly curved rear panel.

Whether the leaked information proves accurate will be revealed when the new Galaxy device makes its debut on Oct. 11. /ra
