If they fixed the exposure and made it more natural instead of their sh*tty "balanced" look then their photos would automatically go from 6/10 to 8/10. The next things to fix are noise reduction and sharpening but the main problem is the NR, it's just poor on Samsungs. They don't reduce much noise compared to their competitors but wow the details are all scrubbed off. And worse yet, there's a pink/purple tinge due to the color noise, try to look at the night mode shots of the S24 Ultra, you'll see it.

Whatever they do, it won't fix their cameras. Their main vision is wrong, their camera algorithm butchers photos. A day and age where iPhones handily beat Samsung is sad.

    Samsung wasn't always this bad. They were always toe to toe with Huawei and I actually preferred their photos over others for the most part, till the Note20 Ultra. Then something just happened and they just stopped being so cool. Like, the S20 Ultra's main cam is basically the one being used now, talking about the size, they haven't changed in so long. So is the UW cam. That was fine back then when no one else was better but they haven't got the memo it seems, they just haven't improved much since then. Then there's the design and the styluses and stuff, they perfected that stuff with the Note 10, S21 and Note20 and they just reused all that and the S24 Ultra made it worse. Phones should be curvy, they are held for long amounts of time and curvy phones are comfortable.

    And their photo processing.... they butchered it. It was fine until the Note20 Ultra days but then they just shifted gears and now just yuck.

    Nothing much you can do though, apparently the S24 series sold better than the S23 series, like what? If people are this d*mb and keep buying stuff up then Samsung's gonna continue on their path. The future is looking sad really.

      Get ready for an increasing price, I think, the price may be the same as S20U at least. S20U is the most expensive Samsung Ultra.

          I think the current ultrawide sensor takes amazing photos, i never really enjoyed samsung sensors and always prefered the sony ones, making a sensor with larger resolution for ultrawide is welcome but not really necessary, however sacrificing the sensor size is a big mistake, it might actually end up looking worse, time will tell...
          As for the 3x telephoto, im happy to see an upgrade, i might just trade my s24 ultra for the s25 ultra if the difference is big enough as im very unhappy with the horrible quality of my 3x sensor right now, although i guess that's more of a software issue than hardware issue, the 3x photos come extremely noisy in daylight with no reason at all, let's hope samsung fixes all these camera problems with the s24 ultra first, issues with main cam sometimes looking greenish, issues with the 3x telephoto as specified before and issues with the 5x looking like an oilpainting at 10x and red tint in low light and bad focus performance if you do not manually tap subjects.

          After all these issues are fixed on my s24 ultra, then we can talk about the s25 ultra.

            So, where's the "upgrade"?

                Incremental updates... Phone tech is really stagnating

                  As usual Huawei, Vivo photography piers are gonna destroy the S ultra again in camera performance again

                  Then we gonna have some midrange'd sub flagship smartphones going neck on neck with Samsung's best effort for it's flagship camera

                  Samsung is one of the worse leaders the industry can ever get just straight up laziness/complacency

                  Where has the innovator to the phablet itself gone? What happened to that version of Samsung?

                    More Samsung sensors... yikes!

                    Looks like I will be buying only Sony phones in the future :)

                      Samsung's image quality will never get any better if they keep sticking with these cameras. 200MP is unnecessary and sacrifices light intake, telephoto sensors are too small and don't resolve a whole lot of detail, UW struggles in certain lighting, colors are kind of off. I'd rather have one short range tele with a wider aperture, a 50MP Lytia main camera and an UW with a bigger sensor and better optics

                        But fixing excess of NR and sharpening , horrible color science and too bright foreground not , I suppose.
