Samsungs anticipated new flagship model the Galaxy S25 Ultra has been creating a buzz before its projected launch in January 2025. Recent leaks discussing the camera specifications of the device have stirred excitement, among technology enthusiasts suggesting enhancements that could cement the Galaxy S25 Ultras position as a leading player in the camera arena.
As per speculations it seems that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will stick with its quad camera configuration deviating from earlier suggestions of a potential shift to a triple camera setup. The phone is rumored to boast a 200MP camera and a 50MP telephoto lens, with 5x zoom capabilities to its predecessor. However the real standout features seem to be the improvements made to the 3x telephoto lens and the ultrawide sensor.
50MP 3x Telephoto and Ultrawide Cameras
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is said to be getting a boost with a 50MP 3x telephoto camera, which’s a step up, from the 10MP 3x sensor found in earlier models starting from the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This higher resolution telephoto lens might use binning technology to improve low light performance for both 3x shots and portraits. Furthermore the increased megapixel count could enhance hybrid zoom capabilities leading to image quality in the zoom ranges between 3x and 5x.
In addition to the upgraded 3x telephoto lens the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to include a 50MP ultrawide camera. This enhancement would bring Samsungs flagship in line with top tier camera phones like the Google Pixel 8 Pro and Xiaomi 14 series. The high resolution ultrawide sensor might utilize binning for improved low light performance. Potentially enable recording of 8K ultrawide videos. While some may have expected an upgrade, such as a variable telephoto camera, the purported addition of a 50MP 3x telephoto lens and a 50MP ultrawide camera still signify notable progress, in the camera capabilities of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
