The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra stands at the apex of technological achievement when it comes to smartphones, with its awe-inspiring hardware that translates into a splendid user experience. And its supreme camera setup redefines the boundaries of mobile photography. Equipped with innovative features, it delivers nothing short of excellence, empowering users to capture moments with unprecedented clarity, depth, and vibrancy. The photos and videos captured using the Galaxy S24 Ultra exude brilliance through every pixel, whether they are captured in broad daylight or dimly lit environments. In fact, users who have already got hands on the phone are now realising that this is the best handset in the market for shooting videos at concerts, where its zooming capabilities ensure you get high-quality footage of the artists, irrespective of where you are seated. Have a look at some of the videos recorded at a recent Ed Sheeran concert where attendees managed to shoot some jaw-dropping videos of the artist from a long distance through Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Now that you’ve seen how amazing this phone is in action, let us take you through everything that has helped this phone cement its position as a photography powerhouse in the smartphone world.
Leading-edge camera hardware
Like a true Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S24 Ultra pushes the boundaries of consumer technology with its camera hardware. Its rear surface is home to a quad camera setup that’s headlined by a 200MP wide camera with OIS. This high-resolution sensor excels at capturing detail, with even the tiniest of textures and patterns being visible in your photographs, enhancing their overall beauty. Plus, there’s the new ProVisual engine onboard as well. This feature recognizes the objects in your shots to appropriately enhance their colour tone and reduce noise, adding thorough refinement to the photos.
In its quest to offer unprecedented zooming capabilities, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has opted for not one but two telephoto cameras, which have their own OIS systems. One is a 50MP sensor that can do 5x optical zoom and the other is a 10MP shooter that does 3x optical zoom. For ultra-wide photography, Samsung has granted this phone an advanced 12MP camera. And selfies are taken care of by a 12MP snapper that sits on the phone’s front surface. As you can see, the path-breaking hardware setup that Samsung has assembled gives the device tremendous potential in the photography department and as you’ll learn soon, it does make the most of these capabilities.
Best camera for concerts – Pro-grade video capabilities
With such advanced camera hardware, you can expect nothing short of exceptional videos from the Galaxy S24 Ultra. As we mentioned earlier, the handset can shoot videos with exceptional quality despite offering a high-level zoom. For many phones in the past, this has been the Achilles heel but the Galaxy S24 Ultra shines on this front. This means that you can record pro-grade videos in stadiums of your favourite athletes or artists and share the videos of your experience on your social media without worrying about the quality. Whether you’re capturing beautiful landscapes or fast-paced action sequences, the S24 Ultra excels in all scenarios. And OIS ensures that there’s absolute finesse in your clips, eliminating any shakes or wonkiness that ends up spoiling videos. There’s support for high-resolution 8K video recording, which is great news for content creators, as it offers them newer avenues to unleash their creativity. But what’s truly awe-inspiring is the new Instant Slow-mo feature, which uses AI to integrate additional frames into regular videos and turn them into smooth slow-motion shots. All you need to do is simply touch and hold to control when to start and stop the effect. The best part is that it works on downloaded videos as well.
Powerful Quad Tele zoom
No matter what you’re using your smartphone camera for, having the power of optical zoom is a huge boon as it lets you explore different perspectives of the same scene without moving an inch. This handset offers ‘Quad Tele Zoom’, meaning it offers a whopping four levels of optical zoom – 2X, 3X, 5X, and 10X. Thanks to its high-resolution main sensor and dual telephoto cameras, the Galaxy S24 Ultra can offer multiple focal lengths to choose from. This allows the user with the option to be even more creative with the framing and experiment different angles than ever before, without losing the image quality. Simply put, going from an expansive wide frame to a tight close-up is an absolute treat that deserves to be experienced by you. But there’s more; the amazing AI capabilities of the Galaxy S24 Ultra allow it to render up to 100x digital zoom to truly elevate the photography experience.
And with OIS at your aid, you need not worry about photos losing their sharpness upon zooming in too much. You could be capturing a group photo and instantly switching to capturing a rare bird you just spotted in absolutely no time and without moving an inch. The 50MP telephoto camera onboard the Galaxy S24 Ultra is also ideal for capturing stunning portrait shots. The large sensor is home to bigger pixels and this gives it tremendous light-capturing capabilities. So while it’s expected that daytime portraits are high in quality, there’s sheer breathtaking beauty in the portraits that are shot during the night.
Galaxy AI brilliance
For some, photography ends once a photo is captured and we’ve already seen how the Galaxy S24 Ultra can serve them beautifully. But for those who can’t live without their editing tools, the Galaxy AI suite is a huge boon. It conveniently offers editing features that would usually require you to sit in front of a PC and use several complicated tools. Let’s say you find something out of place in a shot you’ve clicked. You can use the Photo Assist to instantly select and move around any subject in your picture. The empty area will get intelligently filled up and the edit will be virtually unrecognizable. You can even resize a photo to a larger size than its original dimensions and the Photo Assist tool will expertly do the fill-up job.
The Gallery app of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is also home to an AI Edit Suggestion tool, which gives you perfect editing recommendations that can be applied with just one tap. It uses AI to analyse the shot and makes suggestions that might include, punching up the colours, eliminating or enhancing reflections, blurring the background, and much more. Galaxy AI is the crowning jewel in the Galaxy S24 range and it certainly proves its mettle in the photo editing department as well.
