Galaxy S24 Extremely won’t be the zoom king in 2024 due to this downgrade

Samsung‘s Extremely telephones have supplied a 10x periscope digital camera for a number of years now, incomes their place among the many finest digital camera telephones in the marketplace. Sadly, a leaker has now claimed that this might be a factor of the previous.

Leaker Ice Universe has claimed on X that the Galaxy S24 Extremely will swap out the 10MP 10x periscope digital camera for a 50MP 5x telephoto digital camera. Extra particularly, Ice asserts that it is a 1/2.52-inch sensor with tiny, 0.7-micron pixels.

This might be a disappointment if confirmed as Samsung’s Extremely telephones have lengthy been the one gadgets with 10x periscope cameras (apart from HUAWEI’s older handsets). The 10x digital camera wasn’t excellent because it supplied a comparatively paltry 10MP decision for 3 generations, but it surely nonetheless delivered long-range zoom pictures that had been sometimes higher than different telephones. This digital camera additionally allowed you to movie video at a local 10x, leading to good video high quality at this vary.

We now have seen telephones just like the Google Pixel 7 Professional utilizing picture cropping from a 48MP 5x periscope digital camera mixed with imaging smarts to ship good 10x pictures. However image high quality tends to quickly crumble if you exceed 15x. So we’d anticipate an analogous problem for the S24 Extremely if it’s certainly choosing a 50MP 5x digital camera.

Ice Universe additionally claimed that Samsung will persist with a 10MP 3x telephoto digital camera for short-range zoom. This assertion comes after leaks earlier this 12 months that the Galaxy S24 Extremely would get a 50MP 3x digital camera as a substitute. This makes some sense as there wouldn’t be an enormous want for a super-high-resolution 3x digital camera to fill the zoom hole between 3x and 10x if Samsung is utilizing a 5x 50MP digital camera.

Both method, we hope this leak isn’t true as it will be a disgrace if Samsung mentioned goodbye to devoted 10x cameras. However between this declare and options that 200MP telephoto cameras might be a factor sooner or later, we’re desirous to see how issues pan out subsequent 12 months.
