The Galaxy S24 Ultra is scheduled to be launched at the beginning of next year and, until then, a lot of water will flow and, with it, a lot of speculation and leaks. What’s new this time are the device’s camera specifications.

For the past three years, Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series phones have offered a 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom. All Ultra models since the S21 have a maximum 10x optical zoom. However, Samsung may reduce this number since, according to tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom.

The device also comes with a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. This way, there will be a downgrade do zoom 10x optical to 5x optical zoom on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.


The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 50MP telephoto camera uses a 1/2.52-inch sensor with 0.7μm pixels —something similar to the telephoto found on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which has 3.2x optical zoom.

Among other features, the device will have a 200MP ISOCELL HP2X primary camera sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, and a 12MP selfie camera.

Regarding other specs, it is rumored to feature a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate and 2,500 nits peak brightness, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 16GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. It is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports up to 45W fast charging. Other features could include a titanium frame, two-way emergency satellite connectivity, and an IP68 rating.

A few days ago, rumors claimed that Samsung would bring a 200 megapixel sensor on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the same as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Apparently, the information is not correct, according to famous leaker Ice Universe.

The tipster says that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will feature the 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2SX, a more optimized version of the ISOCELL HP2 used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It has an optical format of 1/1.3 and a pixel size of 0.7µm.

This new sensor will probably bring Super Quad Phase Detection autofocus, 8K video recording and 30 FPS and modes with 16-1 (12) and 4-1 (50 MP). Unfortunately, Ice Universe did not provide any more information about him.

A few days ago, a rumor cited that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will use an improved 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 1/2.52 and 0.7µm pixels. It will feature 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilization, resulting in a relevant leap in quality compared to the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The device must maintain the 12-megapixel front sensor, the 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and the 10-megapixel telephoto sensor with 10x optical zoom present in the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

In the first quarter of this year, Samsung made the Galaxy S23 Ultra official with the 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 main sensor. Despite being the highest resolution on the market, it is not the largest in terms of size.

Due to this peculiarity, it may present some problems, such as noise in the dark parts of some images. A new rumor suggests that Samsung should keep it for the next two years and should not exchange the 3x telephoto sensor for a 5x one, according to some rumors.

According to a new leak from tipster Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 sensor in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Previously, several rumors cited that the South Korean would exchange the 3x telephoto sensor for a 5x one on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Apparently, only the 10x telephoto sensor should have new features next year.

The news in the rumor is Samsung using the same 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 sensor in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Apparently, the South Korean should follow the tradition of repeating the sensor for three years, just as it did with the 108 megapixel sensor on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Previously, Ice Universe had mentioned that the Galaxy S24 Ultra would repeat the 12-megapixel Sony IMX754 sensors with 3x optical zoom and the 12-megapixel Sony IMX564 for ultra-wide camera. The 10x telephoto sensor is expected to be a modified version of the 12-megapixel Sony IMX754+ with greater optical range.

According to a report from insider IceUniverse on Twitter, the new Galaxy S24 Ultra will use the same 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor for the main camera. The phone will also reportedly use the same 12MP Sony IMX754 telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and the 12MP Sony IMX564 sensor for the ultrawide camera. The only sensor with improvements is the telephoto with 10x optical zoom. The company is expected to use a slightly improved 12MP Sony IMX754+ sensor for a greater optical zoom range.

If this information is correct, we can see specific improvements in 10x zoom performance. The other improvements in the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera quality may only come through software and processing improvements. No information was revealed about the cameras on the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Plus. In any case, if the most powerful device does not bring any significant improvements to the camera, the same could happen with the other two models in the line.

Samsung is expected to equip the Galaxy S24 line with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor in Asia and North America. In Europe, the company may bring variants with the Exynos 2400. Both chips should feature ARM’s latest CPU cores. The Exynos 2400 should have 4x GPU performance compared to the Exynos 2200. More information is expected to be revealed by the end of the year.

What surprises is Samsung preparing for the Galaxy S24 line?
