The next Samsung flagships are scheduled to launch next year in January, and we are already seeing a flurry of leaks revealing their hardware details. As usual, the Ultra model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, is taking the spotlight. The smartphone is expected to debut with a stealthier camera system, possibly featuring a new 200MP camera sensor. The zoom camera department should also see some changes, with a tipster now suggesting a 48MP telephoto lens on the device.

Tipster Itnyang (@hyacokr_itnyang), whose account is no longer found on Twitter/X, claimed that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will have to settle for a 48MP sensor with 5x zoom. The source said that Samsung had originally planned to use a 50MP sensor with 10x zoom, but abandoned those plans due to concerns about image quality.

In a separate leak, tipster Ice Universe claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will have a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The sensor is said to be 1/2.52 inches, which is larger than the 1/3.52-inch sensor used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 10MP telephoto camera. The same tipster also revealed that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will get the 200MP ISOCELL HP2SX camera sensor, a more optimized version of the ISOCELL HP2 used in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It reportedly has an optical format of 0.7692 inches and an individual pixel size of 0.7 micrometers.

We might see an overall stealthier camera system on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. That said, the handset will bring other hardware improvements as well. For one, it is expected to feature a titanium frame, a brighter OLED panel, and a faster processor, which could be either Exynos 2400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
