Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera Upgrades Revealed Ahead of Launch

SEOUL, South Korea — With just days remaining until Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, new leaks have surfaced about the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s upgraded camera system. The flagship model is expected to deliver significant improvements in photo and video quality, despite minimal changes to its hardware specifications.

According to a report from reliable Samsung leaker Qwaider, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will feature enhanced video capabilities, including support for 10-bit log video recording. This feature, which allows for greater dynamic range and post-production flexibility, is currently available on Apple’s iPhone ProRes RAW mode but requires third-party apps on Android devices.

The improvements are largely attributed to Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which boasts an upgraded image signal processor. This chipset is expected to enhance AI capabilities, image quality, and overall performance across the Galaxy S25 range.

One of the most notable upgrades is the rumored 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a significant leap from the 12-megapixel sensor on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This change would provide four times the resolution, enabling sharper and more detailed images.

Additionally, Samsung is reportedly introducing the Audio Eraser feature, first seen on Google’s Pixel 8 series. Leaked by tipster Ice Universe on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, this feature is expected to debut with Samsung’s One UI 7 firmware and may not be exclusive to the S25 series.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to improve seamless camera switching during video recording. While the current implementation on the Galaxy S24 series is functional, it has room for refinement. The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s advanced processing power is likely to smooth transitions between lenses and enhance overall video quality.

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event is scheduled for later this month, where the company will officially unveil the Galaxy S25 Ultra and other new devices. The event will be livestreamed at 6 p.m. local time, with tech enthusiasts eagerly awaiting further details.
