Its best asset is its inspiration in DSLRs
The artificial intelligence (AI) has been taking center stage in the presentations of most consumer devices for several years. Today, once again, it has attracted our attention during the launch of the new family of smartphones Galaxy S25but, fortunately, it is not the only juicy thing that Samsung has taught us. In this article what really matters to us are the cameras that the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the S25+ and the S25and yes, they have very interesting features. As we are about to discover, the camera equipment of the Galaxy S25 is essentially identical to that of the Galaxy S24 last year, but between both families there are important differences in the software that are worth not overlooking. Somehow the new Galaxy S25 refine many of the sections in which the S24 had room for improvement, although we will have to wait until we can analyze them in depth to find out if they really live up to expectations.

The front unit is identical in all three terminals: it is supported by a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel sensor that works in tandem with an optic with an aperture value of f/2.2 and an 80-degree field of view. A priori these specifications are identical to those of comparable terminals in the family Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S25 Ultra incorporates a main camera equipped with a 200 megapixel sensor and f/1.7 optics Come on, now, with the rear cameras. The ultra-wide-angle unit of the S25 and S25+ models offers us a 12-megapixel sensor that works hand in hand with an optic with an aperture value of f/2.2 and a 120-degree field of view. This hardware is in theory very similar to what the developers proposed to us last year. Galaxy S24 and S24+ in its ultra wide angle camera. The S25 Ultra, for its part, incorporates a main camera equipped with a 200 megapixel sensor and an optic with an aperture value of f/1.7 (nothing to object to its brightness). The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s ultra-wide-angle camera is the only one that has changed when compared to the equivalent unit on the S24 Ultra. Samsung’s new flagship mobile relies on a 50 megapixel Dual Pixel sensor that works hand in hand with an optic with an aperture value of f/1.9. Its field of vision is 120 degrees. This camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra incorporates a 12-megapixel sensor and optics with f/2.2 aperture. Its … Read more
