If the rumors are to be believed, then you can expect an identical-to-the-predecessor camera performance from the Galaxy S22 Ultra. As per previous reports, the smartphone could have a new design. The company is tipped to trim S22 Ultra’s bezels and make the edges rounder. The Ultra smartphone is also rumored to have support for S Pen. It is tipped to come with a new camera design as well.

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ are touted to feature a 19.5:9 aspect ratio display, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a 19.3:9 aspect ratio. Samsung is expected to launch its next-gen Galaxy S-lineup sometime in January or February. We’ve been hearing increasing rumors about January 11 which could also see the launch of the S21 FE and other Galaxy Tab S8.

Why the Galaxy S23 is the small phone you’ve been waiting for
Galaxy S23 back in hand.

I think we have the wrong idea of a “compact phone.” Sure, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini fit the bill with their 5.42-inch displays, but it’s 2023 – the era of content consumption. And In my opinion, any screen under 6 inches is too small for a regular person watching videos on their phone.

The definition of "big" phones has changed in recent years. In 2013, when the Galaxy Note 3 launched with its 5.7-inch display, it was considered huge. But a decade later, with the advancements in shrinking the bezels and phones getting bigger, I’m here telling you how a phone with a 6.1-inch display is the compact phone you’ve been waiting for.

New Galaxy S24 Ultra rumor teases a major camera upgrade
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, showing the camera lenses.

It's no secret that the Galaxy S23 Ultra's cameras are impressive, but it seems like the S24 Ultra may be one-upping its predecessor. Aside from the addition of its 200MP sensor, there wasn't much of a difference between the S22 Ultra's camera array and the one found on the S23 Ultra. However, a new leak suggests that the S24 Ultra will be taking a major step to elevate camera performance.

In a post to Twitter, leaker @Tech_Reve claims that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be ditching the S23 Ultra's 3x and 10x telephoto lenses in favor of a single 3x to 10x variable folded telephoto lens. While the change may seem subtle, the difference in what the S24 Ultra can accomplish with its camera array could be vast as a result.
