Best Galaxy AI camera features of Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
As Samsung’s first masterpiece in 2024, the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus and S24 Ultra brings the much-anticipated Galaxy AI. Based on this, through the deep integration of AI and native apps, a series of new features are included to improve communication, productivity, and mobile camera experience.
Imaging experience has always been the traditional strength of Samsung’s Galaxy S Ultra. This year, the Galaxy S24 series is not only equipped with improved camera hardware, but the photography experience empowered by Galaxy AI will also run through every aspect from shooting to editing.

Empowered by Galaxy AI, the Galaxy S24 Ultra can “guide” users to perform appropriate post-editing of the photos. Through “intelligent photo editing suggestions”, users can make basic corrections to the pictures, including but not limited to common optimizations such as moiré and reflection removal.
With the support of Galaxy AI, the Galaxy S24 series can also perform “generative editing” of photos. For example, users can now easily level tilted photos through the Galaxy S24 series, and AI will automatically supplement the missing details at the edges.
Another “real-time slow-motion function” based on Galaxy AI can provide a smoother frame-by-frame playback effect. Just press and hold the screen, and the real-time slow-motion function can use AI to predict movements and add frames to the video to generate slow-motion videos.
In addition, the entire Galaxy S24 series is equipped with the Super HDR function, which supports high dynamic range color, brightness and contrast, from taking photos and framing to photo processing to on-screen photo and video playback, for a true and natural preview effect.
Whether it is the “four telephoto system” that continues the telephoto tradition or the generative editing function based on Galaxy AI, the camera capabilities of the Galaxy S24 Ultra have once again refreshed the majority of users’ understanding of mobile phone imaging.
Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera Specs
Especially the Galaxy S24 Ultra, its traditional strength of telephoto shooting has been upgraded again, and other highlights are also really amazing. It’s equipped with a rear imaging system consisting of a 200MP primary lens, a 50MP 5x telephoto lens, a 10MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra also brings a new telephoto configuration, continuing the traditional advantage of “telephoto”. The 5x telephoto lens uses a 50MP adaptive pixel sensor with a larger photosensitive area, a 60% increase in pixel size, and supports OIS.
Its excellent image quality brings more impressive mid-telephoto image quality. It not only supports recording 8K video at 5x zoom but also achieves 10x optical quality zoom, helping the quad telephoto system of the Galaxy S24 Ultra to achieve crispy shots at 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x zoom.

Gemini Live hitting Samsung phones internationally!
Gemini Live seemingly hitting Samsung phones internationally. Google has been sequentially expanding Gemini Live functionality to free Gemini users. It was previously available for Gemini Advanced subscribers only.
Not only Samsung, but all Android phones could now use the Gemini Live feature. Just trigger Gemini Assistant and you will get a new toggle added at the bottom right. It will also be featured in an in-app notice for better understanding.
Integrated within Gemini, Gemini Live is a free-flowing, conversational way to interact with Google’s AI by talking, rather than typing. It allows users to interrupt, switch topics mid-conversation, and receive spoken responses seamlessly.
Just got Gemini Live on my Xiaomi 14T Pro as a free user!
Google announced earlier this month that Gemini Live will be rolling out to free (non-Gemini Advanced) users. Some users got it last week, but it seems to have more widely rolled out in the past day from what I've seen.… pic.twitter.com/3jFXGxKBpa

Gemini Live is Google’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4o. However, it is a much easier way to interact with AI useful for brainstorming, discussing topics, conducting research, and eventually, setting appointments and finding directions.
At present, Gemini Live supports the American English language only. There are different voices (with different tones) available to select during setup. If you are unable to change the voice, try changing Gemini’s language to English (United States).
Samsung has its own virtual assistant called Bixby, which is powerful enough. However, most Galaxy smartphone users keep Google’s Gemini (previously Assistant) default and Google’s making it a must thanks to integration of AI.
Circle to Search is another epic feature widely available in Galaxy phones. This unique way of searching saves a lot of time and makes searches easier and effortless. We are expecting even more epic experiences in the future.

2026 iPhone to rival Galaxy S26 with 2nm processor
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. Meanwhile, work on future products is already underway as a routine process. Apple could debut its 2nm processor in the 2026 iPhone to rival Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series.
Ming-Chi Kuo revealed Apple’s tentative chipset strategy for future chips. The analyst claimed that the iPhone 17’s SoC will be produced on a 3nm TSMC N3P process. The company would debut an advanced 2nm chip with Pro models.
It is expected that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will be made using 2nm process technology. Previously, Qualcomm approached Samsung Foundry on a 2nm production deal. However, TSMC will remain the primary producer of 2025 Snapdragon.
Samsung’s 2026 flagships will certainly use Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. This means the advanced semiconductor process product will first come to Android before Apple. The iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max could arrive in late 2026 with 2nm silicon.
The processors for 2025 iPhone 17 models will be made by TSMC's N3P process/3-nanometer technology. The processor for 2026 iPhone 18 models is anticipated to use TSMC's 2-nanometer technology. However, due to cost concerns, not all new iPhone 18 models may be equipped with a…

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is manufactured using a second-gen 4nm process. Qualcomm stuck with 4nm despite Apple’s decision to opt for 3nm last year. This year’s Snapdragon will be the first Android chip to be made using a 3nm processor.
Rumors floated so far suggest that the 2026 Snapdragon could be based on a 2nm process node. The chip will be smaller than the upcoming Snapdragon, offering enhanced power efficiency and performance wonders.
Galaxy S25 x Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
Samsung’s upcoming flagships will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This processor will introduce Qualcomm’s Oryon CPU and newer GPU. It’s the biggest opportunity for Android vendors to beat Apple’s lead in chip performance.
