As technology enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the release of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series in the first quarter of 2024, leaks about the devices have already begun, as usual. With the Galaxy S23 being the company’s first phone with a 200MP camera, reports suggest that Samsung will continue with this resolution for the next two years. A recent leak provides some information about the camera lens of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, indicating minor changes compared to its predecessor.
Camera upgrades: The well-known leaker Ice Universe posted that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature the main 200MP HP2 camera, continuing Samsung’s trend of high resolution. The lens will be accompanied by an ultra-wide 12MP Sony IMX564 lens and a 10MP Sony IMX754 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. These cameras are similar to those on the lens of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. So what changes are expected?
Upgrade to the periscopic lens: Leaked information indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature a 10MP periscopic lens, the Sony IMX754+, offering impressive 10x optical zoom capability. This upgrade appears to be the most significant, at least in terms of hardware, for the cameras of the upcoming premium smartphone. Most improvements are expected to be in the realm of software and algorithms, mainly affecting the main camera.
Software improvements: While hardware upgrades are limited, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is expected to bring significant improvements in software and algorithm execution to enhance the overall performance of the camera. Samsung tends to use advanced computational photography techniques to provide exceptional image quality, and we expect further improvements in this area.
The leaks regarding the lens of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra provide an exciting picture of the photography capabilities of the upcoming premium smartphone. Although the main camera retains the impressive 200MP resolution, the addition of a periscopic lens with 10x optical zoom promises a significant change. With improvements in software, it is expected to provide exceptional photography capabilities.
