The Samsung Galaxy S23 series has been out for a short time now. But rumors and leaks about the next generation have already begun.

 

The latest leak about the top-end model in the Galaxy S24 series, dubbed the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, claims the flagship smartphone will get a new camera system, with the primary focus on exceptionally large focal distances and zoom capabilities.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra To Pack Truly Revised Telephoto Camera Since S21 Ultra?

The "Ultra" edition of the Samsung Galaxy S series is the most premium smartphone from the South Korean tech giant. These pack cutting-edge hardware and sport the absolute best available features.

The imaging hardware on these devices is a little tricky to be considered the best. This is because of space constraints and size limitations, which cannot be overcome every generation. Even Apple is acutely aware of the same.

Hence, Samsung has been reusing the optical zoom sensor system that the company first introduced in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. However, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will reportedly feature entirely new imaging hardware with the primary intention of improving zoom capabilities and taking in more visual data for better clarity in the photos.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a 10MP telephoto camera with 10x zoom and a 10MP secondary telephoto camera with 3x zoom. Needless to say, this imaging hardware, sensors, and even the zoom capabilities are nearly similar to the previous generation of the Ultra edition.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra To Get New 3X Zoom Camera But Retain 10X Zoom Lens?

If the latest rumor is true, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra might have a new 5x telephoto sensor with variable zoom capabilities. The new zoom camera will replace the 3x zoom camera system embedded in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the S22 Ultra, and the S21 Ultra.

At lower zoom levels, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra may make more use of the high resolution of the main camera. In other words, the camera setup would rely on the primary camera to capture more visual data and then simply crop the resulting photo whenever the zoom isn't high.

There's no information about the fate of the 10x camera. It is possible that Samsung will retain the same as it is good for promotions and advertisements. Additionally, Samsung could also advertise the S24 Ultra as a smartphone with variable zoom capabilities, a feature that's usually present in DSLR cameras.
