Word on the Street is Samsung’s Keeping the 200MP Camera, but Upping the Default Resolution
Rumor has it Samsung’s sticking with the 200MP camera from the Galaxy S23 Ultra for its upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra. But here’s the kicker: they might be making a strategic tweak to go head-to-head with Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Playing Catch-Up with the iPhone 15 Pro’s Camera Prowess
The Galaxy S23 Ultra typically snaps 12MP images by default. Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pro’s 48MP main camera churns out 24MP shots as its default. That extra detail has earned it a top spot among 2023’s best camera phones. Interestingly, last year’s iPhone 14 Pro also packed a 48MP main camera, but it stuck with 12MP as the default resolution.
Insider Insights Hint at a 24MP Default Resolution for the S24 Ultra

Here’s where things get interesting. Leaker extraordinaire Ahmed Qwaider, known for getting the scoop on unreleased tech, suggests the Galaxy S24 Ultra might adopt a 24MP default resolution for its main camera. Talk about a game changer!
More Options, More Flexibility: Exploring Other Resolutions
Samsung’s not one to limit choices. The Galaxy S23 Ultra gives you the freedom to capture 50MP shots as well. While they take up less space than the whopping 200MP images, they still pack more detail than 12MP files.
Now, a 24MP resolution would likely require more storage than 12MP, but the boost in quality could be well worth it. It’s a practical balance between the space-saving 12MP and the detail-rich 50MP and 200MP options.
A Neutral Density Filter for RAW Photos? Sign Us Up!
Another exciting rumor suggests a neutral density filter specifically for 24MP RAW photos. Think of it like the Expert RAW camera app’s filter that tames light entering the lens, preventing overexposure and ensuring stunning shots even in bright settings.
Photo Remaster Feature: AI-Powered Enhancements for Your Images
Qwaider also hints at a Photo Remaster feature for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, potentially mirroring the one found on Samsung Galaxy Book 4 laptops. Imagine snapping a photo and being greeted with three options: Portrait, Remaster, or Delete. The Remaster option might leverage AI to add an extra layer of sharpness and polish to your images.
What Else to Expect? A Flat Screen and New Telephoto Camera
If the rumors hold true, we might also see a flat screen and a brand-new telephoto camera gracing the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Mark your calendars, because the official unveiling is reportedly just around the corner – next month, to be precise!
