Most smartphones still use the default 12MP resolution for photos, even though they abandoned 12MP sensors years ago. Of course, nowadays 12MP output is the result of pixel binning, so they could aim for another resolution instead – for example, Apple chose 24MP for its iPhone 15 models, all of which feature sensors 48 MP main.
Now Samsung is considering doing the same, according to leaksters Ahmed Qwaider. Instead of defaulting to 12MP like the outgoing Galaxy S23 Ultra does, it will instead produce 24MP photos. The S23 Ultra also has 50MP and 200MP options, but these are used more rarely.
24MP is a good balance, offering more detail than 12MP, without increasing file size like 50MP and especially 200MP do.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra camera app
The leakster adds that the new Galaxy S24 Ultra will debut with a Photo Remaster feature. We’ve seen this recently on the Galaxy Book4 laptops, where it takes advantage of new AI hardware to offer quick and easy photo editing. As it turns out, it will be a one-tap solution: choose the image and choose Portrait, Remaster, or Delete.
The ND filter is an experimental feature of Expert RAW
Another feature is mentioned, the ND filter. But this is not a real neutral density filter, but rather a post-processing simulation of such a filter that is performed on RAW images. This is already a feature of Expert RAW, although it is still in the “Expert RAW Labs” section, so it is still experimental.
