Samsung‘s Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most highly-anticipated smartphones of 2024. Though the device is still three months away, leaks have already revealed plenty about it. The upcoming Galaxy flagship is seeing major design and camera overhauls. A new leak has now confirmed the camera specs for the phone.
Leak confirms Galaxy S24 Ultra camera specs
The Galaxy S24 Ultra will bring a major change to Samsung’s flagship camera setup. It won’t feature a 10x optical zoom camera. The Korean firm is replacing it with a 5x lens, paired with a 3x lens that is also found on the 2023 model. According to X tipster Revegnus, Samsung originally planned to use Sony’s IMX875 sensor for the 5x zoom camera. However, it has now decided to go with the Sony IMX854, which is a 50MP sensor with 0.7µm pixels.
The 3x zoom lens is reportedly Sony’s IMX754+ sensor. It isn’t a new camera but an improved version of the IMX754 that Samsung used for both zoom cameras (3x and 10x) on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra. It boasts 1.2µm pixels. The 12MP ultrawide lens has an unchanged sensor too. It’s the Sony IMX564 with 1.4µm pixels.
With the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung upgraded from a 108MP lens to a 200MP one for the main rear camera. It’s sticking to the 200MP solution for the 2024 Ultra model. The upcoming phone will feature the company’s in-house ISOCELL HP2SX sensor with 0.6µm pixels. It appears to be an improved version of the ISOCELL HP2 found in the current model. There’s no change to the pixel size.
Along with these four cameras, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will also feature a laser autofocus (AF) sensor at the back. The 12MP selfie camera may carry over unchanged from the 2023 model. Leaks haven’t revealed many details about the front camera of the phone. We should come across more leaks and rumors in the coming days, revealing additional information about the upcoming Samsung flagship.
The device may feature Samsung’s ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace tech
The lack of a 10x optical zoom camera may not be felt much on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung may have improved its camer software for better image quality with hybrid zoom beyond 5x magnification. On top of this, the phone could feature the ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace tech. It’s a revolutionary solution for 200MP sensors that improves the smartphone camera zoom experience.
For starters, this tech can automatically track a selected subject as it moves aroundand zoom in on it. You can simultaneously capture the zoomed footage and the full field of view, with both views shown on the screen. It also maintains 4K video resolution up to 4x zoom and reduces the image processing times for 200MP shots by as much as half. The Galaxy S24 series is expected to arrive in January 2024.
