Samsung could fix Galaxy phones' camera shutter lag with new tech

The Exynos 2400 has been in development for almost two years and brings big improvements over the Exynos 2200 in CPU, GPU, and AI performance. Samsung will reveal more details, like the number of processor cores (Exynos 2400 is expected to be a deca-core chip) and other specs, at a later date, but it did tease some of the capabilities the new chip will bring to mobile devices, and one of them could fix the camera shutter lag that plagues Samsung smartphones.

Samsung says that it will leverage AI for its Zoom Anyplace technology to enable users to take “up to 4x close-ups of moving objects without any image degradation” on phones using Samsung's 200MP camera sensor. That basically limits the tech to the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra for now, but even then, it has us excited.

That's because Samsung phones, and most other Android phones, tend to have issues avoiding blur when capturing photos of moving objects. In fact, it's perhaps the only major complaint Samsung needs to address about its smartphone cameras, and with Zoom Anyplace, it seems the company is putting in some serious effort.

Zoom Anyplace will use AI-based tracking to follow and capture objects while simultaneously making full-screen recordings so no moment or detail is left uncaptured. Or at least that's how Samsung puts it. It's not fully clear how the tech will work, but if it does do what it's supposed to, it will put the Galaxy S24 Ultra's 200MP camera a step above the one used on the Galaxy S23 Ultra and could lead to shutter lag eventually becoming a non-issue on Galaxy phones in general.
