Samsung Galaxy S24 Series: Release Date and Certifications

Samsung is preparing for the launch of its highly anticipated Galaxy S24 lineup. While an official release date has not been announced yet, the smartphone has recently appeared on various certification platforms, including the FCC, suggesting that the launch is imminent.

Leaks Hint at Galaxy S25 Series

Although the S24 series is expected to be released in mid-January 2024, leaks about its successor, the Galaxy S25 series, have already started to emerge online.

Galaxy S25/S25+ May Feature a Sony Camera Sensor

According to insider information shared by tipster Revegnus on X/Twitter, Samsung may opt to use Sony's image sensor instead of their own Samsung GN3 sensor for the Galaxy S25 and S25+. This news has garnered excitement among tech enthusiasts who have often criticized the GN3 sensor.

The GN3 sensor, a 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, 1.0-micron pixels, and support for Dual Pixel PDAF and OIS, has been a staple in Samsung smartphones for the past three years. It has been featured in devices such as the Galaxy S22, S22+, S23, S23+, Fold 4, and Fold 5.

However, the tipster's claim suggests that Samsung might make a significant change with the Galaxy S25 series by adopting Sony's image sensor. While this rumor is not confirmed, it is an interesting development to keep an eye on.

Galaxy S24 and S24+: Sticking with the GN3 Sensor

In the meantime, the upcoming Galaxy S24 and S24+ are expected to continue using the 50MP Samsung GN3 sensor as their primary camera. Alongside the GN3 sensor, the devices will also feature a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 10MP telephoto unit.
