Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to lose important camera-related unique selling point according to leaker ↺
It is not yet certain whether this will actually really happen, but the controversial and often quite reliable leaker Ice Universe has already indicated several times that Samsung apparently wants to withhold a very important feature of the last three Galaxy S flagships from the Galaxy S24 Ultra: The 10x telephoto camera.
With its 10-megapixel 1/3.52 inch sensor, it only delivers really usable pictures in daylight, but it has been a unique selling point since the Galaxy S21 Ultra from 2021 and could possibly be completely abolished after the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The leaker first hinted at this on X (formerly Twitter) a few days ago, but then deleted his post again and announced that he wanted to get more reliable information first.
Now, however, a corresponding tweet (see below) has reappeared in the tipster's X timeline, which again emphasizes that the 10x zoom camera will apparently be missing in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. What Samsung plans to replace it with - if the information is correct at all - is not yet known. It is currently considered certain that the 3x telephoto cam will be changed to a more modern 50-megapixel sensor and will also serve well as a 5x zoom telephoto; 200-megapixel sensors are also increasingly on the table to simulate a bigger zoom range by means of cropping.
