Yes, you've read that correctly. According to tipster Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. He claims that Samsung is not upgrading from a 3x telephoto camera to a 5x telephoto camera with the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It was rumored earlier that the South Korean firm could replace the 3x telephoto camera from the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 5x telephoto camera on the Galaxy 24 Ultra. Only the 10x telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra seems to be getting an upgrade.
Even the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to use the same 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor for the primary camera. As usual, it looks like Samsung will use the same camera sensor for three years, similar to what it did with the 108MP camera on the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy S21 Ultra, and Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Even Apple is expected to use a 1/1.14-inch 48MP camera sensor from Sony in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This new sensor is said to be similar in performance to the 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor used by several Chinese firms, including OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi. If that happens, Samsung could be trumped on specs by not only Chinese brands but even Apple. And that doesn't appear good for Samsung in terms of optics.
