Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy S24 in Europe last February, and as is usual in the high range, the photographic section is one of the main attractions of these devices. Especially in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is the model with the most capabilities in this regard.
Every year, the Korean company tries Test the capabilities of your devices in extreme conditions. This year he decided to do it almost from space, sending several of these smartphones to the highest part of the stratosphere to test their capabilities.
These devices took more than 150 photos in total, using the different zoom modes in your camera app, and you can see some pretty striking details. In addition, it is a very original method of promotion.
This is how the Galaxy S24 Ultra works
Samsung usually shows great imagination when it comes to testing the cameras of its devices, and on this occasion the company sent them into the upper stratosphere. He did this using four stratospheric balloons launched from the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and the Sierra Nevada Mountains (California).
These balloons, according to PetaPixel, would have reached a height of 36 km, so they didn’t reach space – that’s considered 100 km – but they certainly reached much higher than a commercial plane. Behind that, the hydrogen was emptied from the balloons so that, thanks to a parachute, cell phones return without a scratch.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra took, in total, more than 150 images between January 25 and 31 using the ultra-wide camera, x1, x3 and x5 zooms, revealing quite different results from each other. In these you can see some geographical features such as lakes and mountain ranges, in addition to being able to take a look at space thanks to the ultra-wide sensor.
Of course, this reflects the versatility of this model when it comes to taking photos from a distance, where it particularly shines with its sensors. Telephoto lenses with 3 and 5x optical magnificationwhich allow you to obtain sharper and more precise results than using a digital zoom.
