Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra camera specs revealed
The launch of the Galaxy S24 series is the prime event that will happen in January 2024 for Samsung. The S24 ultra model, among the trio of the series, is the most talked about and expensive one, generating high anticipation due to several new features. Sunny Optical of China and Samsung Electro-Mechanics of Korea will compete for the rear camera module market.
Triple camera sensors for the Galaxy S24 series with the code name “Eureka.” The majority of the Galaxy S24 Ultra camera module is made by Sunny Optical and Samsung Electro-Mechanics; they stand to gain because ultra camera modules are rather expensive.
Galaxy S24 Ultra’s rear camera configuration:
- A 10-megapixel 10x telephoto
- A 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle
- A 50-megapixel 5x telephoto
- A 200-megapixel wide-angle
Makeup strategy for the S24 Ultra rear module:
- Samsung Electronics, Vietnam Parts Centre, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics provide the 200 million-pixel wide-angle camera.
- The 12 million-pixel ultra-wide-angle is under the control of Namuga and Sunny Optical.
- Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Sunny Optical are the suppliers of the 10 million-pixel 10x telephoto camera and the 50 million-pixel 5x telephoto camera.
- Namuga and MCNEX will take up producing the front camera module with 12 million pixels.
Samsung’s unit shipments for the Galaxy S24 series:
- Galaxy S24: 13.5 million units (38%)
- Galaxy S24+: 5.8 million units (16%)
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: 15.9 million units (45%).
What’s the plan for the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models?
Technically, both the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are the same. The reason why Samsung is focusing less on the Plus variant with fewer units of shipments is that the Plus variants don’t go well on the market. This is because both resemble each other with a slight price difference.
Makeup strategy for the S24 and S24+ rear modules:
- Power Logics and Cammsys supply the 12-million-pixel ultra-wide angle.
- Power Logics and Samsung Electro-Mechanics supply the 10 million-pixel telephoto.
- Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Partron supply the 50 million-pixel rear wide-angle
- Cammsys and Power Logics manufacture the front camera modules.
The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
The Korean brand – Samsung has recently announced its two mid-range Galaxy smartphones – Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A new benchmark listing has a spot for Samsung’s affordable smartphone, Galaxy35 5G.
