One of the vital promising Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely rumors we’ve heard to date pointed to the cellphone having a variable zoom telephoto digicam, permitting it to modify between 3x and 10x optical zoom all with a single lens. However the newest leak means that’s to not be.

That is in keeping with leaker @Tech_Reve, who claims that, whereas a variable zoom was deliberate, these plans have now been canceled; with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely as an alternative sticking with the identical four-lens design because the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely.

That will imply a major broad sensor, an ultra-wide, and two telephoto sensors – one for 3x optical zoom, and one for 10x. Worse, they are saying the one digicam improve can be to the 10x telephoto, which can apparently solely obtain “minor enhancements.”

The Galaxy S24 Extremely doesn’t function a 5x telephoto digicam. It makes use of the identical 3x telephoto digicam as its predecessor.The one digicam improve is the 10x zoom sensor, which undergoes minor enhancements. And in addition, The variable 3x to 10x telephoto digicam has been canceled. pic.twitter.com/PswkkNJbRKJune 2, 2023

If true, it is best to anticipate the identical 200MP major digicam because the Galaxy S23 Extremely, the identical 12MP ultra-wide, and the identical 10MP 3x telephoto. It’s not clear what type the enhancements to the 10x zoom digicam would take, however since they’re described as minor they in all probability received’t be overly important.

We had beforehand heard from @RGcloudS that the telephoto digicam would have a wider aperture and presumably be able to 150x digital zoom (up from 100x on the present mannequin), so maybe these are the modifications we’ll see. However that’s fairly an previous leak, so we wouldn’t rely on it.

Too few modifications if leaks are proper

We’d, after all, take this newest leak with a pinch of salt anyway. @Tech_Reve has an inexpensive observe report, however they haven’t been leaking for so long as some, and we’re far sufficient away from the probably launch of the Samsung Galaxy S24 sequence that issues may change.

If that is correct although, it’s disappointing information, particularly as we’ve additionally beforehand heard that the Samsung Galaxy S24 Extremely may look nearly an identical to its predecessor.

Thus far then, the one probably improve is to the chipset, which is bound to be extra highly effective. However in any other case, that is shaping as much as be a really minor enchancment on the present mannequin.
