Galaxy S24 gets big Instagram camera upgrade & it’s even better than iPhone
SamsungSamsung Galaxy S24 phones will let you upload high-quality HDR photos on Instagram. This feature is missing on iPhones.
Samsung has announced its flagship phone series. The latest Galaxy S24 brings top-notch camera features boosted with AI and you’ll benefit from them even while uploading photos to Instagram and Snapchat.
Galaxy S24 phones will let you upload HDR photos on Instagram. This functionality is currently not available on any other smartphone on the market, including the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max. In addition, you be able to use the Galaxy S24’s native camera features on your favorite social media apps.
Galaxy S24 integrates its camera features into Instagram & Snapchat
Samsung teamed up with Instagram and Snapchat to integrate Galaxy S24’s new camera features into their apps.
“Every photo and video you take, or view, will be shown in its full range of color and contrast, from the moment you snap the content, to the moment you post,” said Samsung’s VP of Intelligent Imaging, Dr. Hamid Sheikh, said onstage at the S24 launch event.
“In fact the Galaxy S24 series will be the first ever to have HDR enabled for photos on Instagram,” he added (via Engadget).
HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos capture details in both very bright and very dark scenes. They provide a more natural and realistic output, even when dealing with a broad range of contrasts.
That said, you’ll also have access to Samsung’s Super HDR, enhanced Nightography capabilities, and video stabilization features when using Instagram and Snapchat’s in-app cameras. However, you’ll need to turn on video stabilization in the phone’s camera settings beforehand.
Samsung’s new flagship series is currently available for pre-order, with sales starting on January 31. The lineup includes Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24+, and S24. All three phones get seven years of updates, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, and an improved display. The Ultra model also features a swanky Titanium frame.
