Yes, that's right, Samsung is going to equip the budget Galaxy A17 smartphone with an optical camera stabilisation system. Usually, budget devices cannot afford such a luxury, it is cheaper to stabilise the image with algorithms instead. However, Samsung has developed a special stabilisation system based on springs, which has reduced the cost of the stabilisation module by 20%. If the system proves to be effective, Samsung will be able to have the best cameras in the budget segment.
