Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra could get a new telephoto lens

The 50MP 5x telephoto lens will be a 1/2/52-inch sensor with tiny 0.7-micron pixels for both 3x and 5x zoom, according to the leak shared by Ice Universe.
While the Samsung Galaxy Ultra phones only featured a 10MP periscope lens, the long-range zoom images were still better than other photos.
This change to a telephoto lens might come as a disappointment for Samsung or for smartphone fans in general who are into clicking 10x zoom images.

Google Pixel 7 Pro uses image cropping from a 48MP 5x periscope camera paired with an in-house imaging algorithm to deliver decent 10x shots. However, the picture quality tends to drop drastically when the zoom is exceeded beyond 15x. We can expect a similar challenge for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra if the rumour regarding the 50MP 5x camera is indeed true.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra hardware, features

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, ultra-slim bezels, and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter.
The Ultra model will only get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset across the globe and there won’t be any Exynos version.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is expected to get a base configuration of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There will be a 2TB storage model this time around, according to rumours.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is tipped to have a 50MP telephoto camera and a 200MP primary lens. Details regarding other optics are under wraps, for now.
The Dekra Certification showed the phone will pack a 5,100mAh battery.
