Samsung usually equips its mid-range smartphones with three or four cameras. Two of these cameras are the main and ultra-wide-angle, while the others include depth sensors and macro cameras. However, starting next year, these phones could have one less camera.
According to a report by Korean website The Elec cited by the server SamMobile Samsung has decided to remove the depth camera from its mid-range phones planned for next year. The report claims that the models Galaxy A24, Galaxy A34 a Galaxy A54 will have three cameras: main, ultra-wide and macro camera.

The first mentioned will reportedly have a 50MPx primary sensor, an 8MPx "wide-angle" and a 5MPx macro camera, the second a 48MPx main camera, an 8MPx ultra-wide-angle lens and a 5MPx macro camera, and the third a 50MPx primary camera, a 5MPx "wide-angle" and a 5MPx macro camera. The resolution of the ultra-wide-angle lens u Galaxy A54 is probably a typo because it doesn't make much sense for a more expensive device to have a worse camera than a cheaper one. Although, of course, its size and aperture are also a question.

With this step, Samsung apparently wants to focus on the remaining cameras and reduce the costs associated with the depth camera, which is largely supported by software. The Korean giant has already started offering optical image stabilization in its mid-range smartphones, so it is moving in the right direction. We can hope that Samsung will one day bring a telephoto lens to its (higher) mid-range phones, although that doesn't seem very likely, at least for the foreseeable future.
