Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to Feature Significant Camera Upgrades

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is anticipated to launch in January 2025, with significant upgrades to its camera system, according to various leaks. Notable leaker Ice Universe suggests that the device will maintain a quad rear camera setup, featuring a 200 MP primary camera and a 50 MP 5x periscope camera. The ultrawide sensor and the 3x telephoto camera are also expected to receive enhancements, marking a considerable improvement from the Galaxy S21 Ultra's 10MP 3x sensor used since 2021.

Additional reports indicate that the S25 Ultra will have a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP telephoto camera, with rumors suggesting a newer 200MP sensor that might be closer to a 1-inch size. The upgrades could enable 8K video recording on all rear-facing cameras and improve image quality, particularly for hybrid zoom between 3x and 5x magnification. Despite these enhancements, some users may find the lack of a more ambitious zoom feature disappointing.

Further details about the S25 Ultra include a potential larger 6.8-inch screen and a 5,000mAh battery capacity. While the final design and specifications are not yet confirmed, improvements in artificial intelligence are expected. The phone will reportedly use a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, and though design changes may be minimal, the enhanced camera capabilities are likely to position the S25 Ultra competitively in the market.
