Leaks are just a glimpse of what’s going to happen next, and, surely, we suggest our readers take this information as a pinch of salt. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone is going to beat all Android rivals with its innovative 200MP camera and well-optimized system.
Ending the statement, the source recommended Samsung find another camera solution for the 2024’s Galaxy S24 flagship. No doubt, the Galaxy S24 line will introduce meaningful changes over its predecessor, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra is still in the works, and camera capability is yet to be tested.
Galaxy S23 Series
It’s reported that the Galaxy S23 series may come with an overclocked variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, globally. These chips may be manufactured by Samsung Foundry under the leadership of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon development in charge.
The Korean tech giant has not yet revealed the launch date of Galaxy S23 series, however, Korean media reports revealed that it’s going to happen in the first week of February 2023. Instead of virtual, the Unpacked will be in-person in San Francisco, United States.
The tech industry is now waiting for Samsung to release its next generation foldable phones. While the Galaxy Z5 launch is still away, we are hearing more and more about the next-gen Galaxy S flagships. New rumor claims Samsung has canceled the variable zoom camera on Galaxy S24 Ultra.
According a new rumor, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra may get the same quad camera setup as the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The company’s plan to install a new varible zoom camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra has been terminated, resulting in the same design on the rear panel.
Since the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has been maintainging the quad camera installation on Galaxy S Ultra smartphones. The S20 Ultra, S21 Ultra, S22 Ultra and the recently released S23 Ultra all equipped with quad camera system.
Earlier, the same source revealed that the South Korean tech giant is considering ditching a 3x telephoto camera in favor of new variable zoom lens. The Galaxy S23 Ultra has already broght a serious upgrade to 200-megapixel lens, therefore, the next yera’s model may remain untouched.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 crease is almost the same as its predecessor, raising the question of whether it uses the rumored waterdrop hinge technology or not. Trusted source @UniverseIce recently revealed this news, hinting at the least upgrade in Samsung’s foldable history.

According to the tipster, the display crease of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It was reported that the next foldable phone will be equipped with a new droplet hinge design to vanish the crease visibility.
Meanwhile, the “100% confirmed” leak points out it’s not changing this year. However, there is a probability of changes in the real product as the company is reportedly testing the durability of the device after applying the new hinge alongside the existing U-shaped hinge.
Various Chinese phone makers adopted the waterdrop hinge technology. Oppo’s Find N2 is a smartphone with the least visible crease in the industry as per the feedback of reviewers. However, durability always remains in priority as the foldable form factor is yet to mature.
100% confirmed!
Bad news: Galaxy Z Fold5 crease is almost the same as Fold4, so we wonder whether it really uses a water drop hinge.— Angry Cat (@UniverseIce) May 29, 2023
