For the past years, Samsung's Android smartphone models have been considered among the best camera handsets in the market. Its current Samsung Galaxy S23 was even touted as the top camera smartphone.

The S23 Ultra model was even used to shoot the short film "Faith" by the award-winning director Na Hong-jin. Now, sources claim that the Galaxy S24 will offer another exciting camera enhancement; a 5x telephoto feature. 

Samsung Galaxy S24 Could Switch To 5x Telephoto! 

As of writing, the Ultra versions of the Samsung Galaxy S23, S22, and other models have two 10MP zoom cameras.

These cameras are specifically for the 3x and 10x zoom features. But, this setup could soon change, as reported by Android Authority. 

The detail about the alleged 5x zoom camera for the upcoming Galaxy 24 was first shared by the Galaxy Hub. 

The source claimed that the gadget maker would replace the existing 3x zoom camera feature with the new 5x shooter. 

If this is true, then Ultra models of the new S24 and other next-gen Samsung Android smartphones will have 5x and 10x zoom capabilities. 

Of course, this will still remain speculation until Samsung officially releases the S24 lineup, which is expected to arrive in early 2024.

Pros and Cons of 5x Zoom 

Tech experts said that replacing the 10MP 3x camera has downsides. 

For example, portrait photos will be affected because the 3x telephoto has a better focal length compared to the 5x shooter. But, the integration of the 5x shooter still has its pros. One of these is the mid-range zoom benefit it offers.
