New Samsung Leak Confirms Disappointing Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera Upgrade
In a surprising turn of events, new information has emerged regarding Samsung’s upcoming flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone, and the news is likely to disappoint camera enthusiasts. According to leaks from Assemble Debug, which obtained files allegedly related to the unreleased device, it appears that the camera setup will not receive a substantial upgrade over its predecessor.
According to the report, the rear camera sensors of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will remain largely unchanged, with only one significant addition – a new 50-megapixel ultra-wide module. While this may seem like an improvement, it’s important to note that all other camera sensors are identical to those found on the current Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The leak reveals that the main camera sensor will still be a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2, and the telephoto cameras (both 3x and 5x) will continue to use the same 10- and 50-megapixel sensors as before. The selfie camera will also maintain its current specifications with a 12-megapixel ISOCELL 3LU sensor.
The only notable change is the addition of this new ultra-wide module, which would allow for more detailed wide-angle photos and even 8K video recording capabilities. However, at this time, it’s unclear if Samsung will offer this option on the S25 Ultra or not.
One potential bright spot is the inclusion of a new, brighter F/1.9 aperture lens on the ultra-wide camera. This could lead to improved picture quality, particularly in low-light situations where the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been known to suffer from graininess due to image noise.
Despite this lackluster upgrade, it’s worth noting that Samsung is typically expected to deliver software and AI-based enhancements with each new Galaxy series, which could potentially mitigate some of these concerns. Nonetheless, for those seeking a substantial camera improvement over the previous generation, this leak may be a significant letdown.
It remains to be seen how Samsung will address these concerns at their upcoming launch event in January 2025.
