Samsung sent its Galaxy S24 Ultra phone to an altitude of 30,000 meters to take stunning photos of the Earth

According to news on March 6, in order to demonstrate the powerful camera capabilities of its latest flagship mobile phone Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung recently took a rather creative step - sending four mobile phones into space to capture the magnificent scenery of the American West.

It is reported that Samsung used a special lightweight carbon fiber bracket to fix the mobile phone on a stratospheric balloon filled with hydrogen. The phone is also mounted on a custom-made 3D gimbal and is controlled by the flight computer to take photos from different angles and directions. Samsung shared photos of the wide-angle, 1x, 3x, 5x and main cameras. The balloons were launched from four locations including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and the Sierra Nevada between January 25 and January 31. Samsung says it did this to "shoot a variety of landscapes and really test the capabilities of the S24 Ultra." Finally, the four mobile phones rose to an altitude of 120,000 feet (note: about 36,576 meters) above the ground. Although it is not strictly speaking into space, its height is far higher than that of ordinary passenger planes, and it is enough to see the curvature of the earth. After taking the photos, the crew released the hydrogen and opened the parachute, allowing the device to slowly descend back to the ground at a speed of 5 miles per hour. Samsung tracked the location of the device throughout the entire process and successfully recovered it. The final photos taken are still very stunning, but if you want to appreciate these photos, you need to go to the Samsung US X account to like the relevant posts, and Samsung will send you a photo of the beautiful space.
