S24 Ultra, camera after April's update.

[Reylob]

The big April’s update has come and gone. It definitely brought some improvements on the camera department, but it needs that little bit more yet. I took some pictures using the 1X, 5X on 12MP and 50MP options.

The 1X seems closer to each other on the 12MP and 50MP. The 50MP is a bit brighter. The 50MP is still has a bit oversaturated colours and lose more detail, especially on the 5X.

The settings are a bit interesting, the 1X always has higher ISO and faster speed compared to 5X on both sensors. The same is true between the 12MP and 50MP on the same X. 12MP has higher ISO and faster speed than the 50MP. It seems logical because of the sensor lenses combination. I guess they need to tweak that ratio a bit more to create a more consistent experience.

The 1X has been cropped to match-ish the 5X. The 50MP 5X size was reduced to 75% to accommodate upload requirements. No other processing was done on the pictures. The upload process might have added some. All pictures were taken using default setting on photo mode.

I've only taken pictures around my house since the update, so I can't say much, this camera really impresses me when I use it outdoor and in places where I can put it's qualities into better value. The most positive outcome from the latest update is that the camera selfie is so much better.

Tbh 100x zoom is not bad at all🥰

I have to say @Reylob that this analysis of the S24 Ultra's camera performance post update is very very impressive. You have put so much work into this for the benefit of others in this community, and it is obvious that your photographic and technical knowledge is considerable. At least. Your input in this Member's App is appreciated by many for sure.

@Reylob  Impressive analysis, in due course sure others will convey their thoughts.

Not impressed. It is another half-arsed release...for a 1.5K phone?!?! Shamesung!
Edit: Just so it is clear. I would rather have them communicate with their customers, then take their time to release a really substantial camera fixes, than doing this. I have to wait for half a year to get the phone I was supposed to get from the start? No, I might have had too big expectations of this company. Please stick with TVs and household tech.

Forget I said anything. Im done with this company.

All of the photos I'm taking after this update are totally blown out and look awful, over this phone.
