The Samsung Galaxy A04 and A04e has a dual-camera setup, while the A04s has a triple-camera setup. All three devices have its camera modules arranged vertically on the left side of the rear of the phone along with the flash.

The main camera can record video up at 1080p at 30fps. All three devices have a single 5 MP front-facing camera in a notch.[7]
