Our testers particularly liked the Samsung\u2019s portrait shots in bright light, which offered vivid and natural color that in some shots felt even more realistic than on the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. It\u2019s difficult to tell to which degree the AI exactly contributes to image quality, but it certainly appears that the new AI tools and Samsung\u2019s existing imaging technologies have helped to greatly improve the rendering of some images.<\/p>\n<p>The S24 Ultra ultra-wide camera did very well in bright light, and at the other end of the zoom spectrum, the addition of two tele modules contributed to good detail and overall image quality across a wide range of tele zoom scenes. The new model has to make do without its predecessor\u2019s 10x tele camera, but this did not appear to have had any major impact on tele zoom quality, with the S24 Ultra still producing fairly good detail at long range.<\/p><div id=\"forum-825577818\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Video is arguably the area that benefits least from the S24 Ultra\u2019s software and hardware improvements.

Thanks to better noise reduction and improved color, the S24 Ultra\u2019s video could still keep up with its predecessor, but video results lagged overall significantly behind the class-leading Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, which outperformed the Samsung across pretty much all video test categories.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra camera didn\u2019t set any records, the latest flagship from Samsung is a very capable all-round device that provides a more than satisfactory performance for all types of photography in various kinds of scenarios.<\/p><div id=\"forum-3530736850\" class=\"forum-content-3 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"usecase\">\n<div class=\"usecase-gauge\">\n<div class=\"circular-progress-bar\" data-pct=\"95\" data-value=\"137\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" viewport=\"0 0 40 40\" version=\"1.1\">\n                                    <circle r=\"32\" cx=\"40\" cy=\"40\" fill=\"transparent\" stroke-dasharray=\"201.06176\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\"><\/circle>\n                                    <circle id=\"bar\" r=\"32\" cx=\"40\" cy=\"40\" fill=\"transparent\" stroke-dasharray=\"201.06176\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" style=\"stroke-dashoffset: 184.89261744966px\"><\/circle>\n                                <\/svg><\/p>\n<div class=\"score-max\">\n                                    <span class=\"best\">BEST 149<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Top score<br \/><span>Huawei Mate 60 Pro+<\/span>\n                                    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With its pleasant colors and nice contrast in most shooting conditions, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a good option for portrait photography. However, a slight delay between pressing the shutter and actual capture of the image means it\u2019s not your best bet for photographing moving subjects. There is a risk of missing the decisive moment. While the camera\u2019s shallow depth-of-field could result in some out-of-focus faces in group shots, it can also add a nicely blurred background to the pleasant skin tones and good exposure of close-up portrait shots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-1\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-12 large-12\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box aligncenter wp-image-165372 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>\u00a0Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 High contrast on HDR display, excellent color rendering, and pleasant skin tones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"usecase\">\n<div class=\"usecase-gauge\">\n<div class=\"circular-progress-bar\" data-pct=\"95\" data-value=\"115\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" viewport=\"0 0 40 40\" version=\"1.1\">\n                                    <circle r=\"32\" cx=\"40\" cy=\"40\" fill=\"transparent\" stroke-dasharray=\"201.06176\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\"><\/circle>\n                                    <circle id=\"bar\" r=\"32\" cx=\"40\" cy=\"40\" fill=\"transparent\" stroke-dasharray=\"201.06176\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" style=\"stroke-dashoffset: 175.24242424242px\"><\/circle>\n                                <\/svg><\/p>\n<div class=\"score-max\">\n                                    <span class=\"best\">BEST 132<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Top score<br \/><span>Huawei P60 Pro<\/span>\n                                    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra performed fairly well in dim lighting conditions, with usually pleasant exposure, nice colors and fairly good detail.

The scores rely on objective tests for which the results are calculated directly by measurement software on our laboratory setups, and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allow a panel of image experts to compare aspects of image quality that require human judgment. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. Photo, Zoom, and Video quality are scored separately and then combined into an Overall score for comparison among the cameras in different devices. For more information about the SBMARK Camera protocol, click here. More details on smartphone camera scores are available here. The following section gathers key elements of SBMARK\u2019s exhaustive tests and analyses. Full performance evaluations are available upon request.

The photo protocol is designed to take into account the main use cases and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as portraits, family, and landscape photography. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images Cons a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements on images of charts captured in the lab under different lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the hardware in the S24 Ultra main camera module has remained very similar to the predecessor S23 Ultra, image output has been significantly improved, in large part due to the introduction of a new Ultra HDR format. The S24 Ultra sample images in this article come with an embedded gain map that applies the HDR rendering when the image is viewed on a compatible display. When viewed on such a display, the Samsung\u2019s HDR images offered vivid and pleasant brightness, with accurate target exposure down to low light. In addition, white balance was neutral, with accurate color rendering in most conditions. In bright light, the S24 Ultra still images showed good detail and image noise was well under control. However, when shooting in dimmer conditions, a loss of fine detail became noticeable and noise started creeping in.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please note: The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra images were evaluated using the device\u2019s HDR format, which is not applied to the thumbnails on this page. Please click on the thumbnail to open the original files with embedded gain map. The Apple iPhone images on this page embed the gain map in the HEIC format, which unfortunately cannot be displayed on a web page.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Photo scores vs Ultra-Premium<\/p>\n<p>\n                            <em>The photo tests analyze image quality attributes such as exposure, color, texture, and noise in various light conditions.

The main attribute evaluated is the brightness of the main subject through various use cases such as landscape, portrait, or still life. Other factors evaluated are the contrast and the dynamic range, eg. the ability to render visible details in both bright and dark areas of the image. Repeatability is also important because it demonstrates the camera&#8217;s ability to provide the same rendering when shooting several images of the same scene.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The S24 Ultra did very well in the exposure category, thanks to the combination of the new HDR format and Samsung\u2019s rendering. Compared to the previous S-series generation, our testers could observe significant improvements in several areas. The HDR format allowed for much more natural contrast between highlights and the subjects when viewed on an HDR display. Thanks to Samsung\u2019s image tuning, the S24 Ultra\u2019s exposure performance was on a very similar level to the iPhone 15 Pro Max we had tested previously. Still, some challenging conditions showed some slight face exposure issues on the device, and the device lagged behind some competitors like the iPhone 15 Pro Max because of slight tone-mapping instabilities when shooting a series of images.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-3\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165380 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706564_689_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 Slight underexposure on face, good highlight retention, fairly natural contrast when viewed on HDR display<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165383 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max \u2013 Slight underexposure, good highlight retention, fairly natural contrast on background, slight contrast issues on subject<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165389 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_371_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 Slight underexposure, highlight clipping in background, SDR format is unable to take advantage of HDR display<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-2\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-6 large-6\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165434 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_744_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 High contrast when viewed on HDR display, especially in the highlights<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-6 large-6\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165437 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_370_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 SDR format does not take advantage of HDR display<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscoreHeading heading-score-v5 level-4 color  photo\" id=\"photo-color\">\n<div class=\"subscoreTitle\">\n<div class=\"headingIcon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649762419_708_Xiaomi-12-Pro-Camera-test.svg.svg+xml\"><\/div>\n<h4>Color<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subScoreBars\">\n<p>121<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n<p>Color is one of the key attributes for technically good pictures.

On the downside, our testers noticed some warm yellow casts and color inaccuracies in indoor and low light.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-3\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165392 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_299_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 Pleasant skin tones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165395 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_886_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max \u2013 Pleasant skin tones<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165398 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_324_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 Oversaturated skin tones on the foreground model<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-2\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-6 large-6\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-2\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-12 large-12\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"photo-zoom\">\n<div class=\"crop-wrap right-crop\" data-legend=\"Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \">\n<p>                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706565_4_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" draggable=\"false\" class=\"croppable\" data-scale=\"0.5\" data-coordinates-x=\"85.8053302433372\" data-coordinates-y=\"25.08693972179289\" data-width=\"4000\" data-height=\"3000\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-12 large-12 rightCrop100percent with-caption\" style=\"padding-bottom: 0;\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"crop-background\" style=\"background: url('https:\/\/cdn.dxomark.com\/photo-tools\/zoom.php?url=https:\/\/www.dxomark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medias\/post-165263\/Lightbulb_SamsungGalaxyS24Ultra_DxOMark_05-00.jpg&amp;x=85.8053302433372&amp;y=25.08693972179289&amp;width=1140&amp;height=955') center center no-repeat;

Shooting delay is the difference between the time the user presses the capture button and the time the image is actually taken. It includes focusing speed and the capability of the device to capture images at the right time, what is called &#8216;zero shutter lag&#8217; capability. Even if a shallow depth of field can be pleasant for a single subject portrait or close-up shot, it can also be a problem in some specific conditions such as group portraits; Both situations are tested. Focus accuracy is also evaluated  in all the real-life images taken, from infinity to close-up objects and in low light to outdoor conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During the autofocus tests, our experts observed a noticeable delay between pressing the shutter and the image being captured in a range of shooting conditions, especially in high-contrast scenes. In some group shots, we also noticed that the camera focused on a face in the background, instead of the face closest to the camera.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-3\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165401 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706566_544_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 Foreground face out of focus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165404 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706566_692_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max \u2013 Foreground face in focus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-box alignnone wp-image-165407 size-image-box\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1706706566_581_Samsung-Galaxy-S24-Ultra-Camera-test.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\"  ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 Foreground face in focus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Autofocus irregularity and speed: 1000Lux \u03944EV Daylight Handheld<\/p>\n<p>\n                            <em>This graph illustrates focus accuracy and speed and also zero shutter lag capability by showing the edge acutance versus the shooting time measured on the AFHDR setup on a series of pictures.

For natural images, particular attention is paid to the noise on faces, landscapes, but also on dark areas and high dynamic range conditions. Noise on moving objects is also evaluated on natural images. Objective measurements are performed on images of charts taken in various conditions from 1 to 1000 lux and different kinds of dynamic range conditions. The chart used is the Dead Leaves chart and the standardized measurement such as Visual Noise derived from ISO 15739.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Visual noise evolution with illuminance levels in handheld condition<\/p>\n<p>\n                            <em>This graph shows the evolution of visual noise metric with the level of lux in handheld condition.

The goal is to reproduce portrait photography comparable to one taken with a DLSR and a wide aperture. The main image quality attributes paid attention to are depth estimation, artifacts, blur gradient, and the shape of the bokeh blur spotlights. Portrait image quality attributes (exposure, color, texture) are also taken into account.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In a similar way to the S23 Ultra, the S24 Ultra uses one of its tele camera modules (67mm equivalent focal length) when shooting in bokeh mode.

The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting the images Cons a reference of natural scenes, and  by running objective measurements of  chart mages captured in the lab under different conditions from 20 to 1000 lux and color temperatures from 2300K to 6500K.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Samsung S24 Ultra is one of the better devices that we have tested in the zoom category. In our tests, the long tele lens allowed for excellent results at long tele range settings, and the secondary tele helped achieve very high levels of detail across the entire tele zoom range. This new zoom configuration will be compared to its predecessor which was equipped with one 110mm-equivalent focal length tele module. The performance of the ultra-wide camera was remarkable when shooting in daylight, and while at 14mm equivalent, the field of view was not quite as wide as on some direct competitors, it still allowed you to capture a large portion of the scenery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Zoom Scores vs Ultra-Premium<\/p>\n<p>\n                            <em>This graph illustrates the relative scores for the different zoom ranges evaluated.

Pinch zooming was stable and quite smooth, without any jerkiness in the video. Exposure was quite stable as well. On the downside, white balance transitions were quite noticeable when switching from one camera module to another. Given that the Samsung comes with a total of four modules, this is more problematic than on a device with fewer camera modules, but the overall experience was still pleasant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"subscoreHeading heading-score-v5 level-4 wide  zoom\" id=\"zoom-wide\">\n<div class=\"subscoreTitle\">\n<div class=\"headingIcon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649762420_410_Xiaomi-12-Pro-Camera-test.svg.svg+xml\"><\/div>\n<h4>Wide<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subScoreBars\">\n<p>105<\/p>\n<p>Huawei Mate 60 Pro+<\/p>\n<p>Huawei Mate 60 Pro+<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n<p> These tests analyze the performance of the ultra-wide camera at several focal lengths from 12 mm to 20 mm.

The evaluation consists of visually inspecting  natural videos taken in various conditions and running objective measurements on videos of charts recorded in the lab under different conditions from 1 to 1000+ lux and color temperatures from  2,300K to 6,500K.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra\u2019s video mode offers a wide array of frame rates and formats, including a 960fps slow-motion mode at 1080p, providing great creative flexibility to mobile video makers. In addition, the device is capable of recording 10-bit HDR footage videos (HDR10+ mode), allowing for HDR rendering with compatible displays and apps. With this technology now fairly commonplace on flagship models, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra video mode was tested at 4K resolution with a frame rate of 60fps (auto-fps) and in HDR10+ format.<\/p>\n<p>In our tests, contrast and the quality of the colors were improved by the HDR rendering, but the S24 Ultra would have benefited from a more stable auto-exposure and auto-white balance processing, with instabilities having a significant impact on video rendering in most conditions. These instabilities meant that the S24 Ultra video struggled to keep up with the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (tested in HDR mode) and sometimes even the Galaxy S23 Ultra (tested in SDR). In addition, the video focus was sometimes slow to react to changes in the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was able to match the quality level of its predecessor thanks to its good noise reduction, effective video stabilization, and noticeable improvements in terms of color rendering and white balance, and it could outperform the S23 Ultra if the instabilities mentioned earlier are mitigated via a firmware update.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Video scores vs Ultra-Premium<\/p>\n<p>\n                            <em> Video tests analyze the same image quality attributes as for still images, such as exposure, color, texture, or noise, in addition to temporal aspects such as speed, and smoothness and stability of exposure, white balance, and autofocus transitions.<\/em>\n                        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"subscoreHeading heading-score-v5 level-4 exposure  video\" id=\"video-exposure\">\n<div class=\"subscoreTitle\">\n<div class=\"headingIcon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Xiaomi-12-Pro-Camera-test.svg.svg+xml\"><\/div>\n<h4>Exposure<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subScoreBars\">\n<p>96<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n<p>Exposure tests evaluate the brightness of the main subject and the dynamic range, eg. the ability to render visible details in both bright and dark areas of the image.

It includes a wider range of luminance, and a wider color gamut than SDR displays, significantly improving the user experience. Target exposure in video was accurate most of the time, but subjects could be underexposed in some high-contrast indoor scenes. Our testers also found contrast to be slightly too strong in some scenes. This resulted in stronger shadow clipping than we had observed on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Exposure adaptation issues and instabilities were also much more visible on the S24 Ultra than on its S23 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-3\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - Outdoor - Back Portrait\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gm_VcGtu3Q4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 Exposure adaptation issues<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max - Outdoor - Back Portrait\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DvrTVgS5e8E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max \u2013 Stable and accurate target exposure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Outdoor - Back Portrait\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GtoU4mmPeQo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 Stable and accurate target exposure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscoreHeading heading-score-v5 level-4 color  video\" id=\"video-color\">\n<div class=\"subscoreTitle\">\n<div class=\"headingIcon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649762419_708_Xiaomi-12-Pro-Camera-test.svg.svg+xml\"><\/div>\n<h4>Color<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subScoreBars\">\n<p>100<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n<p>Image-quality color analysis looks at color rendering, skin-tone rendering, white balance, color shading, stability of the white balance and its adaption when light is changing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Like exposure, color benefitted from the addition of HDR recording, with more accurate color rendering, as well as a more pleasant and neutral white balance, when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Natural videos are visually evaluated by paying particular attention to artifacts such as aliasing, quantization, blocking, and hue shift, among others. The more severe and the more frequent the artifact, the higher the point deduction from the score. The main artifacts and corresponding point loss are listed below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col large-12\">\n<div class=\"echarts-item\">\n<p>Main video artifacts penalties<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Video artifacts were overall well-controlled by the latest Galaxy S-series device, with few to no artifacts impacting the user experience. This said, the camera\u2019s high contrast and saturated colors could on occasion result in noticeable hue shifts around bright elements of the frame, as well as on faces. When recording in low light, some ghosting was visible on moving subjects. This was pretty much the same on previous S-series models but is controlled better on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is able to offer an adaptive frame rate that uses 60fps in bright light and indoors, which is on par with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. In our tests, this resulted in very smooth perceived motion. In low light, the frame rate drops to 30fps to allow for overall good quality in dimmer light conditions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row image-compare image-compare-3\">\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - Lowlight - Bartender\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EKUenpz3UKo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra \u2013 Slight ghosting on face and shaker<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max - Lowlight - Bartender\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0fqXLQE78zs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max \u2013 No ghosting<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col small-12 medium-4 large-4\">\n<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\">\n<div class=\"box has-hover has-hover box-text-bottom\">\n<div class=\"box-image\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"video video-fit mb\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Lowlight - Bartender\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FVd24-4bdGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box-text\">\n<p>Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra \u2013 Slight ghosting on face and shaker<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We put the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra through our rigorous SBMARK Camera test suite to measure its performance in photo, video, and zoom quality from an end-user perspective.
