The front camera of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series will not be much different
According to information received from sources close to Samsung, the South Korean tech giant's next flagship won't have much innovation in the front camera.
While Samsung gears up for the Galaxy Unpacked launch event on July 26, where it will introduce two new foldable phones, the tech giant is also focused on its next-generation traditional flagship phone, the Galaxy S24. In line with the norms, specific hardware components will undergo upgrades while others may not, and notably, the selfie camera belongs to the latter category.
Over the past four years, Samsung's Galaxy S flagship series had been using a 10MP selfie camera until the recent switch to a more advanced 12MP sensor with the launch of the Galaxy S23 series earlier this year. It seems the company has decided to continue with this sensor for the Galaxy S24 series slated for next year.
Models such as the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra will likely utilize the same 12MP sensor as their 2023 counterparts. However, this does not imply that the selfie photography experience won't undergo any improvements in the coming year. Any enhancements, if made, would be realized through improved camera software optimization and AI processing techniques.

Alongside the unchanged selfie camera, Samsung is rumored to repurpose the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor for the Galaxy S24 Ultra next year. This sensor was introduced earlier this year with the S23 Ultra. Samsung might not have fully tapped into the capabilities of this new sensor yet, which justifies its potential reuse only a year after its launch.
Nonetheless, there may be an exciting upgrade in store for 2024. It has been reported that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will receive a substantial camera hardware upgrade, specifically regarding its telephoto camera. While the Galaxy S23 Ultra employs a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom along with a 10MP 10x zoom unit, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is anticipated to feature a 5x zoom replacement for the 3x telephoto unit.
