After the emergence of High-Res renders and an entire specification leak of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, now a tipster @chunvn8888 has shared a real-life image of the camera module, confirming the fact that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will indeed switch from the 10mp 10x telephoto to a high resolution 50mp 5x one.

The shorter periscope of the S24 Ultra compared to the predecessor implies a reduction in focal length

Previous rumors about the zoom capabilities have been a bit confusing, switching back and forth in terms of the resolution and zoom range of the telephoto. Now this image above shows that the telephoto lens size is significantly reduced, indicating a reduction in focal length (that confirms the switch from 10x to 5x).

the 10mp 10x telephoto was a lot longer

As you can see in the image of the Galaxy S23 Ultra above the 10x telephoto at the bottom of the camera system was a lot bigger than the one on the shared images by @chunvn8888. If the images are authentic, we can pretty much confirm that the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra, scheduled to be launched in January, will bring a 5x telephoto instead of 10x. Building on previous rumors and industry trends, the resolution of the sensor seems to be 50mp, up from the one on the last three generations of the Ultra flagship.

Speaking of the specification, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is likely to come with the titanium branding for the middle frame and of course, the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Notably, the standard Galaxy S24 and the Galaxy S24 Plus are reported to house aluminum frames. 

On the flip side, the Galaxy S24 series is being marketed as an “AI Phone”. However, the final name isn’t confirmed yet, as this branding fails to fully depict the AI capabilities of the upcoming series, according to a Samsung official.
