Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Cameras Capture Sailing Events at the 2024 Olympics
Galaxy S24 Ultra Cameras Captured Sailing Events at the 2024 Olympics Paris is bustling with fans attending the 2024 Olympics, but many are tuning in from home. To enhance their viewing experience, Samsung has leveraged the Galaxy S24 Ultra to bring fans closer to the action.
The sailing events, held near Marseille, are being livestreamed using the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung and event organizers have mounted these phones on sailboats, and for kitesurfing and windsurfing competitions, athletes are equipped with S24 Ultra devices strapped to their shoulders. Additional phones are placed on buoys to offer diverse perspectives of the races.
This setup poses significant challenges, as the phones endure harsh conditions, including exposure to salty seawater and intense sunlight. The Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology is crucial for smoothing out the turbulent conditions, while extra relay towers have been installed to ensure reliable 5G connectivity for uninterrupted streaming.
Earlier, the Galaxy S24 Ultra was used to broadcast the Olympics’ opening ceremony. During the games, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 also made an appearance, with athletes using it to take celebratory selfies on the podium.
