Samsung’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S24 series, is anticipated to maintain the status quo when it comes to its front camera technology. Contrary to expectations for an upgrade, all models within the series, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra, will feature a 12-megapixel front camera, identical to the current Galaxy S23 series.
While this revelation might disappoint some enthusiasts who had hoped for a significant improvement in selfie capabilities, it is worth noting that Samsung could still optimize the software aspects of the front camera to enhance performance. However, due to space constraints and the desire to minimize the display cut-out, options for substantial hardware upgrades, such as a larger sensor, appear limited.
One notable consequence of this unchanged front camera resolution is the absence of an Under Display Camera (UDC) in the Galaxy S24. In recent years, Samsung has incorporated UDC technology in devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its predecessors. However, given the limitations in achieving the desired image quality, UDC implementation remains impractical for the Galaxy S series. Therefore, the Galaxy S24 will not feature an Under Display Camera in its design.
As we eagerly await further details about the Galaxy S24 series, it’s essential to keep in mind that Samsung’s prowess in software optimization may yet surprise users with enhanced photography capabilities, despite the consistent hardware resolution. The official launch of the Galaxy S24 series is anticipated to shed more light on the overall advancements and improvements it will bring to Samsung’s flagship smartphone lineup.
