The comparison between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra highlights significant improvements in image processing, particularly due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite ISP. While most camera hardware remains constant, the S25 Ultra demonstrates better performance in low-light scenarios, producing cleaner images with more detail. In general shooting, the S24 Ultra yields sharper images, though both phones have varied color rendering, especially concerning white balance. The 10x zoom capability also shows distinct improvements in detail and aberration control in the newer model, which closes gaps in low-light conditions. Overall, the S25 Ultra presents a notable upgrade in processing, balancing hardware consistency with enhanced processing capabilities.
Using the same 3x camera in the dark, the difference in noise is more pronounced with the new S25 Ultra producing cleaner-looking images while preserving more detail too.
Starting with the main 200MP camera set to its default 12MP mode, the difference in image processing is more noticeable than it was indoors.
The older Galaxy S24 Ultra produces sharper images - it can go overboard in places, though. The color rendering is similar enough, even if the two phones don't always agree on white balance.
Next up is the 10x camera - a 50MP sensor paired with a 111mm lens. It's the same hardware, as far as we've been told, but the new Galaxy S25 Ultra produces noticeably more detailed images.
