The new Samsung Galaxy S24 series is a bit of an odd duck; a showcase for both Samsung’s innovative side and recent complacency. On the one hand, Galaxy AI and seven years of updates are changing the way we think about smartphone software. Conversely, the Galaxy S24’s design and internal hardware are virtually unchanged from the Galaxy S23 and even the S22 series.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the camera department. The Samsung Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus sport exactly the same camera hardware as not just the non-Ultra Galaxy S23 series, but the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus (bar a minor selfie upgrade). Three generations, no meaningful changes to what is supposed to be a best-in-class flagship series and pin-up for Android smartphones.
