While Samsung should officially present its new high-end Galaxy S24 series, the technical characteristics of the photo sensors of the Galaxy S24 Ultra version seem to be confirmed and Samsung has even created a special page to demonstrate future video capture functionalities. Here are all the details.
There is still a little while before the Samsung brand formalizes its new high-end smartphones. The presentation is expected to take place early next year. There will be the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy 24+ and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the ultimate version. For the latter, many rumors are heard thinking of knowing the technical characteristics of the photo sensors. But before seeing these in detail, we must also take into account that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will very probably, if not almost certainly, be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Like its predecessors, it is also possible that Qualcomm and Samsung worked together to offer a Soc Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 For Galaxy, specially optimized like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy found on board the Galaxy S23 including the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This specificity makes it possible to develop performance optimizations and exclusive functions for the South Korean brand’s mobiles.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is an extremely powerful chip, apparently even though we haven’t had a chance to test it yet. The Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi 14 Pro are the first models to benefit from it. Many other high-end mobiles will follow, from different brands. The version integrated into the Galaxy S24, For Galaxy, might however differ slightly and offer not only higher performance, but above all features unavailable on other phones.
4 photo sensors on the back with changes compared to the previous one
According to the latest serious rumors, it seems that the high-end Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone is equipped with a main photo sensor with 200 megapixels. This will not be identical to the sensor integrated into the back of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. In fact, it would be a ISOCELL HP2SX sensor with pixels measuring 0.6 µm. This size would allow the sensor to capture even more light than previous ones and thus produce brighter images.
With this sensor, there would be a 12 megapixel module which would be dedicated to shooting in ultra wide-angle mode. This would be a Sony IMX564 sensor with 1.4 µm pixels. There would also be a 10 megapixel telephoto lens, Sony IMX754+ with 1.12 µm pixels capable of offering 3x optical zoom. The fourth module would be a 50 megapixel telephoto lens (compared to 10 megapixels on the Galaxy S23 Ultra), a Sony IMX854 with 0.7 µm pixels which would offer 5x optical zoom versus 10x on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
A preview of future photo sensor features
Samsung has released a special page on its website giving a preview of two new features which would be offered, without explicitly saying so, on the brand’s future mobiles. it’s regarding the ISOCELL Zoom AnyPlace camera function. This would be possible by combining the 200 megapixel sensor with the processing power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
The idea is to be able to capture not only what is happening in front of the camera’s sensor, but, in addition, to automatically focus and track an object in the scene, in real time. In addition, this functionality would be capable of recording a capture allowing you to zoom in or out on different parts or areas of the scene while maintaining Ultra HD quality.
Finally, the video also highlights another feature or more precisely an improvement compared to previous models. Indeed, with a 200 megapixel sensor, some devices can take more or less time to record the image. For sensors with fewer megapixels, capture is immediate, instantaneous or almost given the power of the processors installed in the phones.
With a 200 megapixel, it is more complicated, because the limits of Soc are sometimes reached, reducing to nothing the possibilities of taking photos, full pixels, of sports sequences, for example or with subjects that move quickly. For example, on the Xiaomi 12T Pro, we actually noticed that the mobile took a while to save the image.
With the E2E AI Remosaic function which would be embedded within the Galaxy S24 Ultra (and perhaps also the other S24s), that would be ancient history. Indeed, still on the same Samsung page, the manufacturer explains that capture will be twice as fast.
