Only the Galaxy S25 Ultra will get a camera upgrade, S25 and S25+ to retain the same hardware

19 June 2024
This will be the fourth generation in a row with no camera upgrades.


Anonymous, 19 Jun 2024I got an S22 Ultra. I am not the guy who buys new phones ev... moreI used Huawei for almost 8 years and never thought of another brand until they got banned so I was forced to move to Samsung. Now I'm using S23 ultra and vanilla one personal and other for work but with all honesty I hate them both!
I never charged my Huawei twice a day but look at me now.

    Sammy0, 20 Jun 2024I have the S24 and the cameras are fine and do a great job ... moreWell, they could increase the thickness of said phone from the current 7.6mm to 8.9mm in order to accommodate better cameras and a bigger battery, all without a camera bump that is sticking out like a sore thumb.

      I have the S24 and the cameras are fine and do a great job even in very low light conditions. There's only so much room for improvement for cameras that fit on a smartphone; bigger sensors = bigger lenses and Samsung obviously don't want the camera lenses to protrude a ridiculous amount like they do on the iPhone and some other Android flagships. I like that compromise, especially since Samsung's processing made the picture/video quality coming out of these cameras among the best anyway and compete well with larger sensor cameras from other smartphone manufacturers.

              And dont forget to add the jargon words like "Ai improvement" bs
              Ai this, ai that .. To justified the same hardware with higher price.

              Also the big company keep complaining about ewaste but they're the one that consistently releasing the same hardware with incremental improvement. Which added to ewaste every year. Samsung & Apple is perfect example for this bs practise.

                yeayyyy.. letsgooo samsung!

                let keep the same hardware for another year .. and repack it in different design and sold it at higher price.. samsung the best /s

                  Sooooo glad I bought my S23 last year with a SD8 gen2..

                  It's gonna last until 2027 or 2028 at least...

                    PhoneAddictedTR, 19 Jun 2024You forgot the software updates for 7 years. None of th... morethat's not worth 600 dollars, these phones depreciate fast, there's no reason to have software updates for so long if the hardware itself is already 3 year old

                      Anonymous, 19 Jun 2024But will they retain the same price?There will be a price hike 😃

And that some Chinese phones only cost a fraction of Samsung flagships that a Chinese brand buyer can replace it 3x in 7 years and still save more money than a Samsung user.

                        And oh, some brands like Xiaomi have 4 years updates now btw.

                              Same hardware but...half price ? ;>

                                All they have to do is give the S25+ the AF ultrawide from ultra for breathtaking macro shots.

                                  CamoGeko-XDA, 19 Jun 2024Samsungs are always expensive. Thought people would have... moreIn truth Samsung's image processing approach is one of the worst among established brands.
                                  Samsung photos look very artificial,oversharpened & leave much to desire.

                                  I use S22...almost 1.5 yr old device but still not far behind from S24 in camera performance as camera hardware is basically the same,just some software upgrades.

                                  It's images are just good enough for price(but far behind similarly priced oppo,vivo,google,xiaomi)

                                  While on phone screen/social media images look pleasing but after magnification,you start to see features of heavy processing & poor detail/noise handling.
                                  Main cam images are heavily stretched at corners, after a point noise increase rapidly in low light & images lose most of their fine details, 1:1 magnification looks lacking & kind of smudged, sky is excessively blue.
                                  Also one particular finding...using 3X telephoto zooming at Moon,upto 9.9X images looks blurry,not so good but at 10X images suddenly become significantly focused,clear with right exposure....maybe software tuning or maybe case of Samung faking moon shot....don't know for sure.

                                    Can't believe Sammy is so arrogant. So basically the same sensors since S22 which are garbage by today's flagship standards

                                        Yet another year where Samsung puts too much care and focus on the Ultra and leaves the other two models to be forgotten/ignored under the Ultra's shadow
