Samsung may bring back variable aperture with Galaxy S24 Ultra
Variable zoom may not be the only big camera improvement Samsung‘s Galaxy S24 Ultra will bring next year. Rumors are that the company is considering offering a variable aperture as well. Its Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10 phones featured this technology.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 series with a variable aperture (f/1.5-2.4) in early 2018, smartphone camera enthusiasts liked the idea a lot. Photographers could get more manual control over the shot they want to capture, including the amount of light the lens receives. The company fitted the Galaxy S10 series in 2019 with the same camera setup. Once again, it offered a variable aperture of f/1.5-2.4.
However, Samsung quietly removed this feature with the Galaxy S20 series in 2020. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Galaxy S23 series also lacked it, giving us the impression that a Galaxy device with a variable aperture may not arrive anytime soon, if at all. But it looks like the Korean firm will offer the technology on the Galaxy S24 Ultra next year. It’s unclear if other Galaxy S24 models will also get a variable aperture. We’ll have to wait for more details to emerge.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra may get a major camera upgrade
This rumor about Samsung offering a variable aperture comes just a day before Xiaomi launches the Xiaomi 13 Ultra on Tuesday, April 18. The new flagship offers this tech too, paired with a huge 1-inch camera sensor (Sony’s IMX989). Unfortunately, Samsung isn’t expected to equip its phones with a gigantic 1-inch camera anytime soon. It is developing a new 1-inch sensor but not for Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S24 Ultra will reportedly get an improved version of its 200MP camera.
Despite that, the new Samsung flagship will seemingly bring a major camera upgrade. As said earlier, the 2024 Ultra model is expected to offer variable zoom as well. You will get continuous zoom at all magnification levels between 3X and 10X. This also eliminates the need for two different zoom cameras. The Galaxy S23 Ultra or older Ultra models have a 3X zoom camera and a 10X periscope zoom camera. With variable zoom, one sensor will do the job of both, and even offer optical zoom between those two magnification levels.
All this said, remember that the Galaxy S24 series is still several months away. Since early rumors aren’t always accurate, we advise you to be cautious with this information. We will let you know as and when we have more information about Samsung’s 2024 flagships.
