The imminent release of Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S24 Series, is still a little ways off. However, the rumor mill is already buzzing with speculations about one of the Android smartphone realm’s elite offerings. According to the latest reports, the top-tier model within the Galaxy S24 series, the Ultra variant, is poised to receive a noteworthy upgrade in the form of a 50MP telephoto camera with an impressive 3x optical zoom capability.
These rumors originate from the well-regarded gadget insider, Ice Universe. If these whispers hold water, it would signify a substantial leap forward from the previous generation’s Galaxy S23 Ultra. Just for context, the highest-end S23 model was equipped with a 10MP telephoto camera, albeit featuring the same dependable 3x optical zoom.
The augmented sensor resolution within the telephoto camera of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra promises to usher in a new era of image quality, especially concerning zoomed-in shots, in the forthcoming generation. It’s crucial to distinguish that this particular telephoto camera should not be confused with the periscope telephoto camera. The latter, found in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, also boasted a 10MP resolution, accompanied by an impressive 10x optical zoom prowess.
While the periscope telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra is anticipated to remain relatively unchanged, any minor enhancements are yet undisclosed. Meanwhile, the primary 200MP camera, the 12MP ultra-wide lens, and the 12MP selfie camera are all slated to remain intact in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. All signs point to its potential debut early next year.
