Samsung recently announced that the Galaxy S23 series will be released on February 1, but rumors about the Galaxy S24 have emerged. The rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will come with an improved telephoto camera.
According to a tweet by @RGcloudS, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will have a telephoto camera with “Gen4” optics and an aperture between “2.5 ~ 2.9”. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra may support 150x zoom. Previously, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra already supported 100x spatial zoom.
In addition, the tipster claims that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s telephoto camera may have a variable zoom feature. Last month, LG Innotek announced a telephoto camera lens that offers a continuous zoom range of 4x to 9x, and it is expected that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will support similar camera hardware, but it is not quite certain.
According to the tipster, while the telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers significantly better zoom capabilities, it won’t be able to close the gap with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s telephoto camera. This suggests that Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship smartphone could have some crazy telephoto camera hardware. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra will also compete with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of camera imaging.
The main highlight of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will be Leica Optics with a 1-inch IMX989 outsider sensor, but there will be some improvements over the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
