Description:
Leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S25 series could feature upgraded cameras, including a 1-inch sensor for the Ultra.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Were likely less than two months away from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series, but if youre not in a hurry to upgrade just yet, it could be
worth waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S25 especially if photography is your focus.
We're already hearing about these phones (which probably wont land before January 2025), and according to leaker @Tech_Reve , the Samsung Galaxy S25
and Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus will have new primary cameras.
Reportedly, theyll use a Sony sensor, rather than the 50MP Samsung ISOCELL
GN3 thats used by the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S22 . Now, @Tech_Reve doesnt say what this Sony sensor is, but they sound very positive about it, so it should be an upgrade. Great news: The S25 and S25+ will no longer use the dreadful GN3 sensor; instead, they will feature Sonys image sensor. Im very happy!

That said, there could be even better news for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, because the same source claims in a separate post that theres a 200MP 1-inch sensor coming from Samsung. This time though, theyre unclear about which
phone its headed to, so it might be even further out than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Wed think its way too early for leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S26 and beyond though, so the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is our best guess (since thats the most viable candidate for such a sensor in the next couple of years).
For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra already has a 200MP camera, but its got a much smaller 1/1.3-inch sensor. A larger sensor would let more
light in, which should lead to improved photos, particularly in sub-optimal lighting conditions. Software over hardware
As for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra , that will probably have the same main camera as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, from what weve heard so far, and it might only have half the optical zoom distance of the S23 Ultra, so this doesnt sound like the phone for camera fans.
Indeed, leaks suggest there wont be a huge number of upgrades to any aspect
of the hardware in the Samsung Galaxy S24 line; with Samsungs focus likely being more on software and specifically AI. That could be reason enough to upgrade, if AI excites you, but this early leak suggests the Samsung Galaxy S25 series will rank much higher among the best camera phones when it does eventually arrive.
