About Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G - Samsung's Superior Camera Flagship

Samsung's premium smartphone line always surprises users from one aspect to another. While in previous years, Samsung fans worldwide sought ways to test what the 108 MP sensor on premium models could do when capturing outdoor scenes, this year, the 200 MP sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G continues to amaze millions of users. Let me quickly outline the camera specifications of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G for you!

• Main Camera: 200 MP, f/1.7 aperture.
• Ultra Wide Camera: 12 MP, f/2.2 aperture, 120-degree field of view.
• Telephoto Camera I: 10 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 3x optical zoom, OIS.
• Telephoto Camera II: 10 MP, f/4.9 aperture, 10x optical zoom, OIS.
• Selfie Camera: 12 MP, f/2.2 aperture.

Samsung states that the camera of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G has undergone a significant upgrade, with the highlight being the 200 MP resolution sensor. Additionally, the device will still feature pixel binding technology, both optical and electronic image stabilization with enhanced algorithms for improved photo shooting performance. Regarding video recording capabilities, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G allows us to shoot in 8K at 30 FPS or 4K at 120 FPS.

In addition to hardware upgrades, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G has also been upgraded with various shooting modes, including more features in professional mode, enhanced 50 MP RAW photo shooting capability, professional mode for the front selfie camera, astrophotography mode, and Milky Way hyperlapse. Without further ado, let's take a look at the photo quality captured by the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G in the following sections of the article!

Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G captures every moment with its 200 MP camera

It seems Samsung is not ready to give up the race for camera resolution on smartphones yet, so the company has equipped the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G with a sensor of up to 200 MP, much larger than the 108 MP sensor on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. While it may be difficult for many to discern the difference in image quality between the two product pairs, I believe this is still an important upgrade that brings the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G closer to the quality of images captured by professional cameras.

To help you imagine the difference, I'll also compare photos taken in 200 MP mode and in automatic mode (12 MP with pixel binning technology). You may not see differences in color, contrast, saturation, etc., between the two shooting modes, but in terms of detail, I find the 200 MP photos to be superior. Another important point I noticed is that the post-processing of photos by the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G seems more natural, leaving no noise when zooming in, and the details no longer appear artificial as in previous generations.

Overall, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is still in its early stages, and Samsung can still introduce software upgrades to fully leverage the power of the 200 MP sensor. Therefore, I believe the difference between the 200 MP shooting mode and the automatic mode will become increasingly apparent over time. Below are some photos I captured in various modes, lighting conditions, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G consistently delivers impressive results.

Personally, I quite like portrait photos (especially in 3x mode) from this phone, good details, natural skin tones, vibrant colors, and impressive bokeh capability.

One significant advantage of the 200 MP camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is its support for 'eye-popping zoom'. Speaking of long-range zoom capabilities, I believe that every competitor in the market must be wary of the Galaxy S Ultra series. From my experience, the zoom image quality of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is even more robust than its predecessor, with excellent stabilization capabilities (in photos zoomed from 50 - 100x).

However, the zoom shooting mode on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G still has some minor drawbacks. Sometimes, when I want to move to another location to take a shot, the camera is a bit slow because it's still focusing on the previous subject. Additionally, when shooting at these extreme distances, the camera has to compensate for details from other cameras as well as through algorithms. Therefore, the photo may appear a bit blurry when taken, but when viewed in the photo gallery, we'll have a sharper image.

Are you into night photography? A little story with the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G

When it comes to the camera system of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G, Samsung dedicates a lot of time to talk about its Nightography capability. Truth be told, this isn't a new feature as it was already present in the Galaxy S22 series, but now the algorithm is more refined, the image stabilization is further enhanced to capture more light without blurring the image. Not to mention, these improvements are applied to an entirely new camera sensor, so the image quality captured on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is undoubtedly better.

To sum up the night photography capability of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G, I'll use the word 'Confident'. No matter how dark it gets, the device ensures the best quality photos. The Nightography algorithm on Samsung's new flagship is smart enough to expose well without making moving objects (people, motorbikes, cars, etc.) blurry.

Moreover, the algorithm for subject isolation in portrait mode (under low light conditions) of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is commendable. Despite the complex lighting conditions (mix of brightness and darkness) during my capture, the subject in the portrait photo is accurately separated, without blending into the hair or glasses - a common issue in portrait photos taken in low light with smartphones.

Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G delivers stellar video recording with Super Steady mode

'The 200 MP 'eye of god' on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G has 'captured the night' through photos, but what about its video recording capabilities? With the 200 MP camera, what can Samsung's new flagship do when recording outdoor scenes? The answer awaits below through my real-world experiences.

Compared to its predecessor and other high-end models in the same segment, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G excels in video processing, especially in terms of stabilization while on the move (walking, running, etc.) and shooting. The optical image stabilization (OIS) system combined with the new generation of electronic stabilization VDIS ensures smooth videos, even when shooting handheld. This is crucial for content creators on platforms like TikTok or YouTube, as there's no need for an additional gimbal.

When filming in low-light conditions, the Nightography feature and the light-gathering capability of the 200 MP sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G still deliver unbelievably impressive results. This light-gathering ability directly enhances the video recording capability, resulting in high-quality output. With Nightography, the camera lenses capture more light and data, optimizing light and details for users' videos.

Another exciting experience I had with the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G is the 8K recording mode at 30 FPS. Although this mode doesn't support stabilization, it offers a wider field of view. Overall, this feature promises to bring new experiences to smartphone videography – something that not many phone manufacturers have achieved yet.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy - an important factor enabling the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G to capture stunning shots

For the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G to deliver outstanding videos and photos, the internal processor plays an equally important role. Samsung's new phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor optimized by Qualcomm for the Galaxy phones. The efficient NPU architecture balances performance and power when using AI algorithms, enabling users to capture higher-quality photos and videos in low-light conditions.

Speaking of AI, Samsung applies it in both night mode and high dynamic range mode. When you launch the camera, object-based AI technology analyzes every detail in the frame, focusing on small points on the face like hair and eyes to accurately reflect the characteristics of the subject. The AI on the Galaxy S23 Ultra also recognizes subjects to optimize image quality for different types of photos: landscapes, people, pets, etc.

After capturing, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G offers many post-processing tools to enhance visual effects. The S Pen also aids in creativity with stickers, greetings, creating personalized cards. Combined with the powerful performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, all these operations become smoother than ever.

Conclusion

With each generation of Galaxy S, Samsung once again redefines the 'flagship' concept and sets a new standard for high-end phones. This year, the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G continues to help the Korean tech giant become a formidable competitor not only in the 2023 flagship race but also in reshaping the concept of 'mobile photography' over the years.
