The camera department on the Galaxy F41 is handled by the triple-camera setup on the back and a single camera on the front.

The triple-camera setup consists of a 64MP sensor with PDAF enabled, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with 123˚ field of view, a 5MP depth sensor for the bokeh shots. Features like LED flash, panorama, HDR are also available in this setup. The video output from this camera setup is rated at 4k at 30fps.

The included power adapter provides up to 15W of charging which is advertised by Samsung to fully charge this device from 0% to 100% in 160 minutes. Samsung claims the battery can provide up to 48 hours of calling, up to 26 hours of video playback, up to 21 hours of browsing, and up to 119 hours of music playback.

Samsung has lately produced many great smartphones with good specifications. But the same old design and a strange pricing pattern may confuse the consumer. But Samsung Galaxy F41 is a great device for the ones who need good performance paired with a battery to make it last a long time on a single charge. In conclusion, this smartphone is a great buy for those looking for a mid-range smartphone with a budget to stick to with the trust of a brand value.
