New Samsung Leak Confirms Disappointing Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera Upgrade
Dec 29, 2024 - forbes.com
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to feature a modest camera upgrade over its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Leaked information reveals that the rear camera setup will largely remain the same, with the main camera being a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2, alongside a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto and a 50-megapixel 5x telephoto sensor. The significant change is the introduction of a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a notable improvement from the S24 Ultra's 12-megapixel sensor. This upgrade aligns the S25 Ultra with competitors like Google's Pixel 9 Pro and potentially Apple's iPhone 16 Pro, enhancing detail in wide-angle photos and enabling 8K video recording.
Additionally, the new ultra-wide camera is expected to feature a brighter F/1.9 aperture lens, improving low-light performance by capturing more light and reducing image noise. Despite the hardware similarities, Samsung is anticipated to introduce software and AI-based enhancements to further improve camera performance. The official unveiling of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected at Samsung's launch event in January 2025.
