Galaxy S24 Ultra Have a Massive 50MP Telephoto Camera Upgrade
Samsung finally launched its latest flagship series, the Galaxy S24 Series, today at an unpacked event in San Jose, California.
Samsung, on a fixed schedule, announced its awaiting Galaxy S24 series with top-notch specifications, features, and many more new tweaks as per your convenience in enhancing the experience. But one of the most catchy facts about the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera is the novelty of the Galaxy S24 series.
Being the senior variant of the series, the Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone is blessed with a new camera setup, which is top of the line. The brand arranged a different camera setup this time for the Galaxy S24 Ultra device, which includes:
- 200 Megapixel Primary Camera
- 50 Megapixel Duo Telephoto Camera
- 12 Megapixel Ultra Wide Camera
- 10 Megapixel Telephoto Camera
The Korean brand has blessed the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a quad camera with laser autofocus and LED flash. Wide-angle lens: 200 MP with super quad-pixel autofocus and OIS. Duo telephoto lens: 50 MP with 5x optical zoom and quad-pixel autofocus. The next OIS Telephoto lens is 10 MP with 3x optical zoom, dual-pixel autofocus, and OIS. Then the last one is an ultra-wide lens—12 MP with dual pixels and autofocus. Since it’s pretty obvious, the number of megapixels doesn’t even matter if the HD quality is missing, but fortunately, this case is not applicable for the Galaxy S24 Ultra because its pixels are working like the human eye’s pixel. The camera is delivering an elegant and elevated tone to the image.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra has 100x space zoom. Samsung has coupled the primary camera of the Galaxy S24 Ultra with AI features and enhanced night mode, which improves the user’s night-capturing experience. The AI feature is helping the users delete the shadow from their pictures. Also, it offers three settings: remaster, portrait, and delete. It features an ND filter, also known as a neutral density filter. By doing so, users get the ability to adjust the light in the image as well as change its color tone.
The back camera of the Galaxy S24 supports 8K video recording with optical image stabilization and OIS features, which leads to a shake-less video recording. Basically, being an Ultra variant of the latest flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has top-notch camera specifications, out of which the brand new extra addition of a 50MP telephoto camera is the novelty of the eye.
For Samsung fans who prefer mid-range, affordable devices, the giant is setting up a new M-series device called the Galaxy M35 for them.
The Samsung Galaxy M35 is expected to knock on the door soon, as it shows up on the Google Play Console. The report from YTECHB is unveiling that now the Korean giant is gearing up to bring a new affordable smartphone, the Galaxy M35.
Apart from the appearance of the Galaxy M35 on the Google Play Console, a few specs of the smartphone also come to light; for instance, processor, storage, and more. It is reported that the forthcoming Galaxy M35 is powered by an in-house Exynos 1380 chipset.
The storage package counts 6GB of RAM but is expected to bring different internal storage options that might be available at its debut. The listing also reveals that the upcoming Galaxy M35 will run Android 14. The picture stored in the database confirms the upcoming Galaxy M35 features a triple camera setup.
The rest of the specifications are yet to be revealed, but it seems that they might be similar to the Galaxy A35; for instance, the Galaxy A35 features a 6.6-inch AMOLED display, a 50 MP main camera, and a 5000mAh battery. In a way, it is not quite surprising that the Galaxy M35 is exactly similar; however, the M series smartphones usually arrive with the use of bigger batteries.
The brand has not revealed anything regarding the smartphone officially yet, but it will be interesting to see what new novelties the upcoming Galaxy M35 will bring.

Samsung is close to debuting its next-generation foldable series, which includes only two devices: the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Fan Edition (FE) device is now appearing not to join the series, as the report says.
Even before any official statement or launch, leaks and rumors already revealed most details regarding these phones, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE was also part of them. Samsung foldable fans, especially those who prefer budget devices, eagerly waited for the device, and now the report says that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE may have been canceled, at least for now.
It is speculated by the reports from the Korean publication The Elec that Samsung is reconsidering its plans to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE this year in July alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 for several reasons; for instance, the publication notes that the early production units of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE were not thinner as compared to the key rivals from Chinese manufacturers, which made Samsung rethink the existence of the device.
The device lacked a stylus digitizer, which means it wouldn’t support S-Pen input the same as the original Galaxy Z Fold 6, making it less attractive to some users, which is also the reason behind the decision. Apart from this, the brand is said to have recently completed the testing of the device, featuring an IPX8 rating and a 200,000 fold rating. The Korean giant may have canceled the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE as it’s not satisfied not to offer something unique over its competitors at the moment, so it’s quite better to take time.
However, the delay doesn’t mean that the Korean giant has given up on the idea of introducing cheaper foldables, as the report states that the Korean brand will continue to work on those and may land the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy Z Fold FE models together in 2025.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are scheduled for the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2024, along with a few other gadgets, including the Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and the Galaxy Buds 3 series.
Apple is now setting up to debut in the foldable market by introducing its first foldable iPhone to compete with Samsung.
Transparently, Samsung is leading the foldable market, but soon it will be tough to maintain the legacy since Apple is actively working on bringing its first foldable iPhone into the industry. The reports from Taiwan’s DigiTimes reveal that Apple has currently signed a display supply contract for foldable devices with Samsung Display.
However, earlier this year, a few reports reported that Apple dropped the idea of bringing a foldable iPhone because of some durability issues, at least for now. A new report said that somehow it appears that the Samsung Display has succeeded in meeting Apple’s demands for enhanced durability.
Initially, Apple is considering mass-producing a 20.3-inch and 8.2-inch foldable iPhone by the end of 2026. The Head of Samsung Electronics MX Business Division Development Team, Choi Won-jun, stated at the Galaxy S23 media briefing held during MWC 2023 that “Apple’s entry into the foldable phone market is very welcome,” adding, “It means that Apple also acknowledges the value of our market leadership, following China.”
On another note, Samsung Electronics restrained the lead in the AI smartphone image by introducing Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S24 series earlier this year. As a result, it achieved its highest market share in the U.S. smartphone market in four years.
Samsung’s market share reached 31% in the first quarter of 2024, which is the highest since 2020, and the key reason behind this appears to be AI-based features. This success is credited to the Galaxy S24 attracting premium phone switchers and conquering market share from Google and TCL.
Now, as a strong competitor, Apple is also expected to enter the AI phone market with its next-generation iPhone 16 series, which is reported to be enabled with Apple’s “Ajax” generative AI model and supported by features in iOS 18. It is expected that details of iOS 18 will probably be unveiled at Apple’s WWDC in June.
