As the Samsung Galaxy S24 series launch draws nearer, new details about these devices continue to emerge. Positioned as strong contenders for the title of the best Android phones of 2024, these smartphones are gearing up with a host of innovative features to enhance the user experience.
Recent leaks hint at the Galaxy S24 Ultra's potential to revolutionise smartphone videography with a rumoured 4K 120fps video recording capability along with seamless zoom and lens-switching functionalities.
According to leaks by Ice Universe, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra might introduce a groundbreaking 4K 120fps video recording feature. However, it's important to note that this feature is still under testing and might not be guaranteed in the final product.
Additionally, reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 Ultra could offer seamless zoom functionality during 4K 60fps video recording, although this might not extend to 120fps recording, which is understandable given the technical complexities involved.
The seamless zoom feature could rely on the phone's ability to switch between different lenses smoothly. Past phones faced challenges in achieving this due to significant differences in output quality among various camera lenses such as the primary, ultrawide, and telephoto. Achieving seamless zoom during video recording demands consistent video output across all cameras and swift switching between them.
The inclusion of 4K 120fps recording allows users to slow down videos to 30fps, creating a cinematic effect. However, it's worth noting that the leaked example showcasing this effect might not necessarily originate from the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
While the leaks emphasise the potential of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, there's no mention of these features in the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus models. It remains unclear whether these omissions are oversight by the leaker or if these specific phones lack these capabilities.
The leaks have sparked curiosity about the improvements Samsung might have made to its imaging technology to enable such advanced videography features, and enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the official unveiling to witness these potential advancements.
