There’s not a day goes by at the moment when we don’t hear a new rumor about theSamsung Galaxy S24phones – which is perhaps not surprising given that their expected launch date is fast approaching – and the latest leaks offer a few more hints about the photo-taking capabilities of these handsets.

According to noted tipsterIce Universe(viaSamMobile), theSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultrais going to have a couple of significant upgrades. First, they say the night mode is “better” than it was on the Galaxy S23 Ultra that came before it.

Second, there will apparently be a new and improved 200MP camera mode that makes use of “AI optimization”, and which is capable of spotting 12 different types of object – such as people or flowers, we assume – and automatically tweaking the camera settings accordingly.

As you’ll know from ourSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review, that phone also had a main camera with a 200-megapixel rating, but the 24 Ultra is expected to havea new and improved versionpacked inside it that’scapable of some new tricks.

Even more AI

Also on the AI front, leakerBennett Bruhner(again viaSamMobile) has gone on the record as saying the Galaxy S24 series will feature some smart AI tricks for videos: these tricks will apparently reduce the graininess of clips, improve stabilization, and even let you select something in a clip to erase it.

The same source also says there might be an on-device AIchatbot, but it’s “not certain” if this is going to be available at launch. Think something likeChatGPTorGoogleBard, that can generate text and field all sorts of questions.

This all fits in with what we’ve previously heard aboutSamsungwanting to give the Galaxy S24 phonesas many AI features as possible. We know that Google has stuffed thePixel 8andPixel 8 Profull of AI smarts, and it sounds very much as if Samsung is going to follow suit witha series of similar upgrades.
