Leaked slides from a Galaxy S24 series presentation reveal details such as display brightness improvements, games with ray tracing support, and the camera zoom capabilities of the S24 Ultra.

Despite Apple's attempts to improve camera zoom capabilities with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung's Galaxy S Ultra phones have already surpassed it with their 10x optical zoom. Even with the expected introduction of the tetraprism system in the iPhone 16 Pro next year, it will still fall short of the Galaxy S23 Ultra's capabilities. Apple users are increasingly realizing the gap in zoom performance between their iPhones and Samsung's flagship devices, particularly in scenarios like concerts. While there is no confirmation if Apple will expand the Pro Max's capabilities to match Samsung's zoom, customers seeking a superior zoom camera option will likely turn to the Galaxy S23 Ultra or its successor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Andrew compares it to Google's Pixel 7 Pro, which also has a 5x optical zoom lens, and praises Apple's decision to improve the telephoto sensor and aperture for better image quality.
