The Galaxy S24 Ultra does not feature a 5x telephoto camera. It uses the same 3x telephoto camera as its predecessor.
The only camera upgrade is the 10x zoom sensor, which undergoes minor improvements.

In April, Tech_Reve posted on Twitter that Samsung plans to put a variable zoom telephoto camera in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, thus replacing the 10x and 3x telephoto cameras with one sensor, which will be able to switch between 10x and 3x zoom. However, in their new post, Tech_Reve shared that the plans for the new telephoto camera have been canceled.
Of course, you should take all of this with a grain of salt since this is only a rumor, and Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything at this point. However, if the rumor is true, then it’s kind of disappointing that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will basically come with the same camera configuration as its predecessor.
