Samsung’s next flagship phone, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is expected to come with one less camera than its predecessor. The Galaxy S23 Ultra had four rear-facing cameras, including two telephoto cameras, but according to reliable tipsters, the Galaxy S24 Ultra could have just three rear-facing cameras. The missing camera is rumored to be the 3x telephoto camera.

However, Samsung may have a new solution in mind, according to tipster Ice Universe. The company could be using a continuous periscope zoom lens that can zoom from 3x to 10x, similar to the telephoto camera module that LG showcased last year.

This would allow the single telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra to perform the job of both zoom cameras on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Additionally, this new camera could offer better image quality with intermediate zoom ranges that were not possible with the previous camera setup.

Another possibility is that Samsung is confident in its 200MP primary camera, which could allow for 3x digital zoom, equivalent to 3x optical zoom on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This would eliminate the need for a separate telephoto camera altogether.

The removal of one camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra could offer a cleaner design on the rear of the phone and reduce clutter. However, it’s best to take this information with a pinch of salt as plans could always change before the phone’s official release.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is currently Samsung’s best camera phone, featuring four rear-facing cameras capable of recording 4K 60fps videos. Two of those cameras are telephoto cameras, offering unmatched zoom reach compared to rival phones.
