However, some of the Eureka features will require a Samsung account and internet connection, suggesting that some of the AI-based features will be processed in the cloud. This could potentially allow these features to be available on older Samsung smartphones such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The new features and camera hardware of the S24 Ultra will be fully revealed at the “Galaxy Unpacked” event on January 17.
Key takeaways:
- Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature innovative AI-powered camera advantages, including a zoom range of at least 10x and an effect that enlarges individual objects within a scene.
- The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to downgrade the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 10x optical telephoto lens to a 5x version, but with a higher sensor resolution of 50 megapixels.
- The new features are likely related to Samsung’s recently leaked Eureka AI software, which includes new “Nightography Zoom” and “Generative Edit” functions.
- Some of the most demanding AI-based features will require a Samsung account and Internet connection, suggesting that they will be processed in the cloud rather than on the device.
