Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: This is its biggest drawback

He Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was introduced as the new flagship cell phone of the Korean brand, already despite all its advantagesThere is already a black point here that is worth commenting on.

And DT English expert Andy Boxall confirmed the main concerns about some of the rumors.

“New Ultra Phone No It features the 10x optical zoom camera that made the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S21 Ultra so unique. Instead, it has 3x and 5x optical zoom, as well as an AI-enhanced 10x “optical quality” hybrid mode, meaning it actually has more in common with the Galaxy S20 Ultra than any subsequent model.” , says Boxall.

Detailed explanation of the problem

Here are some opinions from Boxall about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera:

• The Galaxy S24 Ultra camera consists of a 200-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a pair of telephoto lenses. The 50MP telephoto lens offers 5x optical zoom, while the 10MP telephoto lens offers 3x optical zoom. Zoom in to 2x and 10x, and Samsung promises “optical-quality” photos as the 50-megapixel telephoto camera uses its maximum megapixel count and a host of software tricks to create the final 10x-zoomed image.
• This is different from how the Galaxy S23 Ultra handles zoomed-in photos. It features a pair of 10-megapixel telephoto lenses for 3x and 10x optical zoom photos, and uses software to create hybrid photos at other zoom levels. While the S24 Ultra is different from the latest Galaxy Ultra phone, it’s not all that different from Apple iPhone 15 Pro Maxwhich features a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, followed by digital zoom for everything else, up to 25x.
• I’m more upset by the fact that once the Galaxy S23 Ultra disappears from store shelves, we won’t be able to buy a smartphone with 10x optical zoom. This feature is fun and versatile and allows you to take sharp, blur-free photos with a level of zoom not available on any other phone. I will miss him very much.
• Does this mean I’m completely dismissing the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s telephoto lens and saying it won’t be as good as the S23 Ultra? No.

  I’m certainly disappointed that there’s no 10x optical zoom, but I’m also confident in Samsung’s ability to take 10x hybrid photos as best as possible. After all, the quality of hybrid digital zoom has improved in recent years, and Samsung has gone to great lengths to incorporate impressive AI into the S24 Ultra to further enhance the camera’s performance.

• I had the opportunity to briefly test the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 5x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom during some testing time before its release, and the results reminded me of my experience with the iPhone. 10x good quality photos, but not like that good as 5x optical photos.
• I think there’s a good chance that the phone’s technology and software will be able to compensate for the lack of 10x optical zoom. That’s all before I get to know the improved main camera and all the AI ​​editing tools that impressed me so much when I tried them out. I remain confident that the S24 Ultra will be a great camera, versatile and fun to use.
• With the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, we say goodbye to a smartphone with a 10x optical zoom camera built into the device, and that’s a big shame.
• So I’ll also be looking forward to the triumphant return of the 10x optical zoom camera on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while testing the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 5x optical zoom.
