In fact, there is some information out there that says a thing or two about the Galaxy S24 series‘ camera system. For example, an expected small change to the rear camera setup or that we shouldn’t expect a variable zoom telephoto camera on the S24 Ultra.
Well, the latest report from the Dutch website GalaxyClub states that we also might not see any jump in the front-facing camera’s megapixel count, and that includes the premium Galaxy S24 Ultra. In other words, that means a 12MP selfie on all of the 2024 Galaxy flagship phones.
Apparently, Samsung wants to keep the punch-hole cutout at the top of the display as small as possible, hence the difficulty in placing a larger image sensor to power the front camera. It is also very unlikely that we will see an under-display selfie camera as the technology is still not good enough for mainstream phones. We will find if there are any improvements on that front once the Galaxy Z Fold 5 gets announced, which is pretty soon!
Besides higher image quality, we could also see new camera features that would enrich the selfie experience with the Galaxy S24 series. Maybe something like True Tone (which helps produce images with more accurate skin tones) on Google’s Pixel phones?
Also, just because we might not see more pixels does not mean the hardware itself won’t change. The sensor could remain the same size but get swapped for a more powerful one. Of course, let’s not forget that the phone’s processor also plays a huge role as it deals with all the artificial intelligence that goes into phone photography and video recording.
