The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has only been on sale for a few months, but we’re already seeing some pretty serious rumors about its successor — the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The latest rumor to hit the net is that Samsung may be ditching the phone’s fourth camera lens, with the loss of the 3x telephoto zoom in the process. But a rival leaker has made matters confusing by claiming this isn’t the case.
@ISAQUES81 claims that Samsung is already testing the cameras on a prototype version of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Apparently this prototype has only three cameras: the main, ultrawide and periscope. The 3x telephoto lens has apparently been scrapped, and it’s claimed Samsung thinks it can offer the equivalent of 3x zoom on the main sensor.
Ice Universe doesn’t go into additional details, only promising to wait for “more specific and accurate news” in order to provide “absolutely accurate camera information”. In other words, stay tuned for more in the coming months.
It’s going to be a while before we find out what the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is going to feature, since the phones likely won’t be announced until next January at the earliest. Between now and then we have the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 sometime this summer, and maybe even the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE and Galaxy S24 FE later in the year.
