Samsung’s single-camera phone that made history
In this modern and technically developed era, where nearly every premium device features three or four camera lenses for better photographic abilities, there were some single-camera devices in the past that were able to capture outstanding quality images and make history. One of these incredible devices is Samsung’s Galaxy S9 device, launched in 2018. Let’s learn more about this incredible device.
Having various lenses in a device won’t help to make the image quality better; instead, it gives us plenty of options. For example, to capture zoom images, we can use Telephoto or Periscopic sensors; for wide-angle images, there are Ultrawide sensors, and for portrait images, the device gets a primary sensor. It indicates that a single sensor isn’t enough for better-quality images, but the Galaxy S9 denies this fact. Let’s know why?
Let us tell you, the year 2018’s Galaxy S9 device is one of the Korean firm Samsung’s high-end Galaxy smartphones. The device features a 12.2-megapixel Samsung S5K2L3 image sensor, which is obviously the device’s main camera. Informatively, this image sensor has a variable focal aperture of f/1.5-f/2.4. This incredible focal aperture gives the device the ability to capture good-quality images in low ambient light.

Additionally, had an optical image stabilization system that reduces blurring in images captured in low-light or moving conditions. It also has a phase detection autofocus system along with a dual-pixel sensor. The in-question device can record a slow-motion video at 960 fps and a normal video with a 4K resolution. Besides, the device features a front camera with an 8MP resolution and a focal aperture of f/1.7.

The good thing is this Galaxy device has an autofocus feature, because of which it can automatically focus on the subject and delivers a clearer and sharper image. Samsung also implemented an excellent photographic section in this in-question Galaxy device, which makes it easier to capture high-quality images in a variety of situations. Other than photographic abilities, the device was so good and praise-worthy overall as well.

Now it was only a matter of one Galaxy device, but there were a few other smartphones too (besides the Samsung Galaxy), which proved that to capture better quality images, the sheer number of camera sensors really doesn’t matter. These devices are Apple’s iPhone SE (launched in 2022), OnePlus 3T (launched in 2016), HUAWEI Mate 8 (launched in 2015), and Motorola’s Moto Z Force (launched in 2016).
Samsung has kept the same battery capacity for the flagship devices while also sticking to the same fast charging speed. If we look at the Galaxy S Ultra devices from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company has stuck with 45 W charging and the same 5000 mAh battery. According to the latest report, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may also use the same battery and specifications.
Previous, it was rumored that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could be equipped with stacked battery technology, which could lead to maximizing the component cost, but now, according to an X user named Sawyer Galox, it is reported that the Korean giant will skip this hardware change on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra to save on component cost.
Along with this, the tipster also expressed his disappointment with Samsung’s take on the unchained hardware. He adds that users who want to buy the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra should keep their expectations low with the battery performance, as Samsung will keep the specs the same with the 500mAh battery and the 45W.
However, the company will also introduce its latest device with new chipsets that may provide improved optimization, which may provide some long-lasting battery life, but it will not provide any improvement in charging.
Samsung is preparing to introduce its next-generation foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, given that the new smartphones in the Z lineup typically launch between July and August, some rumors suggest that the company might host the next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. Despite the date being more than three months away, numerous details have surfaced online.
According to recent reports, Samsung plans to implement its dual chipset strategy for the foldable, mirroring the Galaxy S series lineup, where some models of the Galaxy S base and Galaxy S+ devices feature Snapdragon, while in other markets, they feature Exynos.
The next foldable lineup rumoured to come with multiple chipsets; for example, the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s last Geekbench listing showed that it has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. However, this processor is already one year old, so there are fewer expectations that it could be available in the main models. However, if a rumor proves to be accurate, it could potentially be available for the FE variant of the devices.
For your information, the rumors have revealed that Samsung could introduce two new versions of the foldable devices with the brand names ‘FE’ and ‘Ultra‘, so to make the difference, it may introduce them in separate chipsets. If it provides the older chipset for the FE version, then it will be successful in cost-cutting and releasing the device at a low cost.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
