Samsung debuted the latest flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone along with the Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 at an unpacked event powered by the Android 14-based One UI 6.1 software version, brand new features, Galaxy AI, great specifications, and, most importantly, a remarkable camera upgrade.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the premium one, from hardware to software; for instance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and seven years of major OS updates. Between all these, the camera specifications are one of the things that make the Galaxy S24 Ultra stand out from the rest.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra features a quad camera setup that includes:
- Wide: 200 MP f/1.7, 24mm
- Periscope telephoto: 50 MP f/3.4, 111mm, PDAF, OIS, 5x optical zoom
- Telephoto: 10 MP f/2.4, 67mm, dual-pixel PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom
- Ultrawide: 12 MP f/2.2, 13mm, Dual Pixel PDAF, Super Steady Video
- Wide selfie camera: 12 MP f/2.2, 26mm, dual-pixel PDAF
This time the brand has attached a major upgrade to the camera setup of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is a 50MP telephoto Sony IMX854 sensor, which has ½.52 inch optical format. Apart from its optical image stabilization, the OIS sensor has an f/3.4 aperture, a 111 mm equivalent focal length, a 6.18 crop factor, a 22-degree field of view, and a 5x optical zoom. The major sensor size is ½.6 inch, whereas the 0.08 is well within the rounding margin error.
The latest take a closer look at the camera setup of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- Wide: 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP2 (S5KHP2), 1/1.3 inch, f/1.7, 0.6 µm, 85° FoV, Super QPD
- Periscope telephoto: 50 MP Sony IMX854, 1/2.52-inch, f/3.4, 22˚ FoV, 10X optical zoom
- Telephoto: 10 MP Sony IMX754, 1/3.52-inch, f/2.4, 1.12 µm, 36˚ FoV, 3X optical zoom, Dual Pixel AF
- Ultra-wide angle: 12 MP Sony IMX564, 1/2.55-inch, f/2.2, 1.4 µm, 120˚ FoV, Dual Pixel AF
This time, the brand has added a 5x optical zoom with a 50 MP telephoto lens, which will physically adjust the camera lens automatically to bring the subject closer without sacrificing image quality. Also, it adjusts the lens inside the camera, which results in perfectly fine details and keeps the images sharp and clear.
If jumping on its predecessor smartphone, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, then it has a 10x telephoto camera, which is too small for a 1.3-inch optical format coupled with an f/4.9 aperture and a 230mm equivalent length.
