Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera sensor dimensions revealed

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was announced today (previewed here) with a new camera and a huge focus on improvements via artificial intelligence.

Samsung didn’t seem interested in talking much about the Ultra’s camera specs, but like the geeks we are, we decided to take matters into our own hands. If you have the EXIF ​​data of the camera, focal length and aperture, simply calculate the crop factor and with this you will have the sensor size.

This way, we have the size of the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera sensor. As usual, the wide angle has the larger 1/1.33″ sensor. It combines sixteen small 0.6μm pixels into a larger 2.4μm one. The 12MP ultrawide does not group pixels and has 1″ photodiodes. ,12μm by default. .

The new 5x camera is the new thing here and it’s something of a conundrum. We don’t know what sensor sits behind the new 115mm 5x zoom camera, but we do know that it’s a 50MP unit and has a 115mm f/3.4 lens. It is said to be a Sony IMX854: a 1/2.52″ imager with 0.7μm individual pixels. The calculated sensor size is 1/2.6″, but 0.08 is well within the margin error rounding.

To put things in perspective, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 1/2.6″ 115mm long telephoto lens with an f/3.4 lens compared to the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 1/3.06″ 120mm with a f/2.8 lens. Comparing them side by side would be pretty interesting because one has a much larger sensor, but the other has a brighter lens.

Finally, the 3x is the same old 69mm f/2.4 with a modest 1/3.6″ sensor.

With that number out of the way, we’ll now have to see how these cameras perform in real life – stay tuned for our full review!
