Galaxy S20 and S20+'s 64 megapixel high-resolution camera offers sharper resolution that keeps the clarity, even when you crop your images.
Photo taken on Galaxy S20 plus’s 64 megapixel camera of a street corner where people are standing and walking. The 64MP gives you incredible detail in your photos so you can pinch in again and again without losing clarity. As we pinch in on the photo we discover a scene of a man walking in front of a billboard with an arm pointing and it looks as if the billboard is tapping the man on the nose

HIGH RESOLUTION
108MP lets you pinch in. Again. And again
Going above and beyond the usual 12 megapixels, Galaxy S20 Ultra offers a whopping 108 megapixels. That's millions more pixels for impossibly sharp shots that you can crop and print — without losing detail.

SPACE ZOOM
Zoom in 30x. Find shots you couldn't before
Our advanced zoom starts with 3x Hybrid Optic Zoom. Couple that with Super Resolution Zoom bolstered by AI and now you can get close up to the action like never before.
Our most advanced zoom yet starts with 10x Hybrid Optic Zoom enabled by a revolutionary folded lens and high-resolution image sensor. Couple that with Super Resolution Zoom enhanced by camera AI to get close up to the action and capture moments you might have missed.
We upped the sensor size so you can capture more of the night
The larger image sensor gives you crisp and bright low-light photos, and it's even brighter in Night mode. The camera can capture multiple shots at once, merging them into one photo with less blur and noise.
We almost tripled the sensor size so you can shoot more of the night
In low light, the pro-grade camera system captures multiple photos at once, merging them into one stunning shot with less blur and noise. With larger image sensors and AI, switching to Night mode means you can shoot nighttime scenes clearer.
The camera shape is shown with a photo inside of a woman making a heart shape with her hands. The photo was taken on Galaxy S20 Ultra with Bright Night. It shifts to the Camera interface and the cursor taps on More. It then taps on Night, and shows the Night mode interface, which says Hold your camera still. It takes the shot, and the cursor taps on the Gallery to bring up the photo just taken.

40MP to make your selfies stand out
The most powerful selfie camera on a Galaxy phone yet. Galaxy S20 Ultra's 40 megapixel front camera gives you pro-grade tech so selfies come out detailed — and shifts to 10MP with larger pixels for crisp low-light selfies.
8K Video Snap changes how you capture photos and video
8K VIDEO
Now the highest-resolution video on a smartphone
We've revolutionised the resolution for mobile video—taking it from 4K all the way to 8K. That's 4 times bigger than UHD and 16 times bigger than FHD. That's right, moving images that keep their super-sharp resolution even at the size of a cinema screen.
A pool party at a house, and a man and a woman walking alongside the pool when the man falls into the pool. As you scroll, the video interface appears and scrubs the video timeline until we see the man falling into the water and appearing to step on the water’s surface. The 8K video snap icon appears and is tapped, capturing a still of that moment
8K VIDEO SNAP
You can even pull 33MP stills right out of 8K video
It's a whole new way to capture still photography every time you hit record. 8K video turns every frame into a crisp still that you can pinch in on for once-in-a-lifetime shots.
The camera shape is shown with a photo inside of people at a swimming pool, with one person splashing in the pool. The photo was taken on Galaxy S20 Ultra with 8K Video Snap. It shifts to the Camera interface in Video mode and the cursor taps on the ratio option. It then taps on 9:16 8K, and is now recording in 8K. In the video a man and a woman are walking poolside, and the man falls in to the pool. The cursor taps on the stop button, then to the Gallery to show the 8K video just captured. It taps on Play video and then once the frame is chosen as it scrubs through, the cursor taps on the 8K Video Snap icon in the corner, capturing the scene as a high-resolution still.

SINGLE TAKE
A whole new way to take one shot and turn it into multiple formats
Single Take is essentially burst mode turned beast mode. With revolutionary AI, it lets you shoot for up to 10 seconds and get back a variety of formats — meaning you can choose the best style for the moment without having to reshoot.3
Select Single Take mode in the camera and tap the shutter. Move around for at least 3 seconds and up to 10 seconds to capture the whole scene.

Steady. Steadier. Super Steady
SUPER STEADY
Sophisticated AI stabilises video like an action cam
The larger image sensor and anti-rolling stabiliser counter camera movement, so your footage won't turn out blurry and unstable, but super smooth.

The camera shape is shown with a photo inside of people playing bubble soccer. The photo was taken on Galaxy S20 Ultra. It shifts to the Camera interface in Video mode and the cursor taps on the Super Steady icon. Onscreen is the notification that Super Steady is on, and the video recorded is smooth with less judder. Another video appears to demonstrate side-by-side how shaky and blurry the video is without Super Steady. The cursor taps stop to stop recording.
Disclaimer: Super Steady feature available in 1080p Full HD only.
