Samsung has achieved a remarkable feat in smartphone photography, pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation with the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
In an unprecedented move, Samsung launched the Galaxy S24 Ultra into the stratosphere using balloons, capturing awe-inspiring images of Earth from a unique and elevated perspective.
This ambitious project involved strapping four Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones to a high-altitude balloon, aiming to showcase the impressive camera capabilities of this flagship device and provide a rare view of our planet.
Samsung utilized special lightweight carbon fibre brackets to securely attach the phones to hydrogen-filled balloons. Each device was equipped with a customized 3D gimbal and controlled by a flight computer to capture photos from various angles and directions.
The balloons were launched from four different locations—Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and the Sierra Nevada—between January 25 and January 31. This strategic approach allowed Samsung to photograph a range of landscapes and test the Galaxy S24 Ultra's capabilities in diverse environments.
Ascending to an altitude of 120,000 feet, although not technically reaching space, the Galaxy S24 Ultra cameras were able to capture the curvature of the Earth. Over 150 stunning photographs were taken during this mission, showcasing Earth's beauty with unparalleled clarity and detail.
After capturing these breathtaking images, Samsung safely recovered the devices by releasing the hydrogen and deploying parachutes for a gentle descent back to the ground.
The photographs taken from this stratospheric journey offer a mesmerizing perspective of Earth's diverse landscapes, vibrant colors, and intricate details.
