According to the leaker, the S24 Ultra may utilize an ISOCELL HP2SX main camera sensor.Despite the upgraded camera sensor, it’s unlikely the overall specifications will change.

This would replace the S23 Ultra’s 10MP telephoto lens, which hadn’t been touched by Samsung for a few iterations.To take advantage of this new sensor, it’s possible the company will add a new 5x zoom button within its camera app, joining 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 10x options.The other 10MP sensor on the S24 Ultra is likely to be its periscope lens. However, there may not be much difference with that as Samsung looks to continue to deliver 10x zoom.With so much camera talk, Samsung was recently rumored to start producing brand-new ISOCELL camera sensors in late 2024. There’s potential for the company to create a 320MP sensor, as well, but we might have to wait a while on that one as it’s not rumored to arrive until the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s launch.The unfortunate side to this rumor is that consumers may not see the bulk of the soon-to-be-developed sensors anyway. The tipster suggested Samsung thought about plugging the HP7 sensor into the S25 Ultra, but the idea was scrapped due to its apparent “high cost.”
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra offers the power of the stars with its 200MP primary camera. The latest Ultra model soars with 2-day battery life, a convenient S Pen, and its 6.8-inch display. Users looking to grab an S23 Ultra will experience its extremely fast processor while you scroll and game.
