According to the latest report from Netherlands-based website GalaxyClub, the Samsung Galaxy S24 selfie camera resolution may not have any upgrades.
It may be more than six months before the official announcement about the Galaxy S24, Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone lineup, but we already have a pretty solid chunk of information to shape our expectations thanks to leaks, reports and rumors.
Possible case on the Samsung Galaxy S24 selfie camera
In fact, some information about the camera system of the Galaxy S24 series is already available. For example, there is information such as an expected minor change in the rear camera setup or the S24 Ultra model will not include a variable zoom telephoto camera.
12MP selfie camera
However, according to the latest report from Netherlands-based website GalaxyClub, there may not be any increase in front camera resolution, and this includes the high-end Galaxy S24 Ultra. That means all of the 2024 Galaxy flagship phones will have a 12MP selfie camera.
Apparently, Samsung wants to keep the hole cutout at the top of the screen as small as possible, so it’s struggling to fit a larger image sensor to feed the front camera. At the same time, the under-display selfie camera isn’t showing up either, probably because it’s not yet good enough technology for mainstream smartphones. We will see if there are any improvements in this regard when the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is announced, which will happen in the near future!
Image processing software and new camera features
The lack of a new selfie camera may seem a bit of a disappointment at first, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any improvement in image quality. Samsung has significant areas of improvement in its image processing software, which means it can make adjustments to get the most out of the existing sensor.
Along with higher image quality, we may also see new camera features that will enrich the selfie experience with the Galaxy S24 series. For example, could a feature like the True Tone feature (a feature that produces more accurate skin tones) available on Google’s Pixel phones coming?
Possible changes in hardware
Also, just because we don’t see more pixels doesn’t mean the hardware itself won’t change. The sensor can remain the same size, but can be replaced with a more powerful sensor.
