Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: Details of its Cameras

It can be said that the Galaxy Note 20 are newborns and that they have more and more to do with the Galaxy S series. Some predict the merger between both devices, with a Galaxy S that has a stylus and the possible disappearance of the family Note. Meanwhile, in South Korea they are already beginning to take for granted some significant changes to the cameras of the upcoming Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Another telephoto lens and goodbye to the ToF sensor

According to Korean outlet TheElec, Samsung’s next flagship will use a quad rear camera setup, just like this year’s model. However, the terminal would have one more telephoto lens , in order to reduce the tendency to crop 108 megapixel photos and force the treatment of the image with AI and other software elements. In this way, Samsung wants to achieve higher quality images in those higher focal length shots.

This year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra features a 4x optical zoom, so having another telephoto lens will mean twice the native zoom options. According to the same source, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will have a standard 3X zoom lens and a periscope module that will exceed a 5x optical zoom. It will also feature a 108 megapixel wide-angle and ultra-wide sensor. The same source indicates that the terminal will have a 40 megapixel selfie sensor and that the ToF sensor will be eliminated.

Much to know yet

At the moment and although on the network it is called Galaxy S21, we do not know if the Korean company will launch the terminal with this name, Galaxy S30 or even something different. One of the biggest novelties is expected from a supposed support for S Pen, without this meaning the body of the device integrates a special hole to store it in the style of the Note series. The terminal is also expected to debut the first hidden camera under the Samsung screen. Although we have no doubts that the leaks will continue to happen, it is still too early to get an idea of what awaits us with the next Samsung flagship.
