The Korean Firm believes in quality over quantity! Samsung fans get ready for the new camera arrangement, as the giant is looking forward to dropping the ritual of four rear camera arrangements on the ‘S’ series ultra devices.
Dropping the four-rear camera concept doesn’t mean dropping the high-end camera result. Samsung has already started testing a Galaxy S25 Ultra prototype, and instead of housing four rear cameras, the device will have just three this time:
- A main primary camera, a telescopic camera featuring a periscope lens, and an ultra-wide camera.
If the reports come true, then we have to say goodbye to the 10 MP 3x telescopic camera. The reason behind this appears to be that the Korean giant can use the new “primary” camera to generate 3x optical zoom with the same or improved quality.
This is being speculated by a post on X shared by a tipster who stated, “Galaxy S25 Ultra: Camera News.” Following this statement, he elaborates on the news. This time in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, three rear cameras will be housed instead of four, and the dedicated 3x zoom lens will be removed.
It is reported that the main camera will have the same resolution, but the low-light performance will be improved, and it will also be used for 3x zoom as well. For the periscope camera, Samsung is said to be testing variable zoom with two fixed focal lengths; the first focal length will be between 4x and 5x, whereas the second will be between 6x and 7x. It appears that Samsung will not have continuous variable zoom technology similar to what Sony has teased in the recent teaser video of its forthcoming Xperia 1 VI.
The previous resorts already reported that the Galaxy S25 could feature three different configurations, including 12GB RAM + 256GB internal storage, 16GB RAM + 512GB internal storage, and 16GB RAM + 1TB internal storage. It could feature the same 5000mAh battery capacity but is expected to bring a new functionality called “Battery AI” that will help to add 5% to 10% runtime to the battery life. It is also expected that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.
Although Samsung has not confirmed anything officially yet regarding the specs and features of the device, it will be interesting to see the new camera setup on the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.
