Samsung Galaxy S24 lists its primary camera as Triple Camera: 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm (wide), 1/1.56″, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS + 10 MP, f/2.4, 67mm (telephoto), 1/3.94″, PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom + 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm, (ultrawide), 1/2.55″, Super Steady video, LED Flash.
Higher stated pixel counts or PDAF suggest potential for better detail capture on paper, but sensor size and processing strongly influence final image quality. Several models include explicit video capability fields (frame rates or resolutions), which informs expected recording capability. Because hardware and feature claims only, practical imaging results (noise, dynamic range, stabilization) must be confirmed via real-world testing.
⚡ Performance & Hardware
| Model | Chipset | CPU / GPU | RAM | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S26 | Exynos 2600 | Deca-Core (3.8GHz, 3.26GHz, 2.76GHz) / Samsung Xclipse 960 GPU & NPU for AI Processing | 12 GB | ~2,150,000 • ~2450 / ~8100 |
| Galaxy S25 | Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm) | Octa-core 4.47GHz, 3.5GHz / Adreno 830 | 12 GB | 3,150,000 • 3,450 / 12,500 |
