The lack of light will no longer be a problem for the Galaxy S23 camera, Samsung promises in its new launch

Samsung today presented its new Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S23+ and the Galaxy S23, which mark a new era of the high-end of the Korean company. What the brand has highlighted the most about this new device is the camera that offers users to capture images in low light conditions, videos with cinematographic quality and with more efficient Artificial Intelligence.

“The most impactful technology is measured not only by what it empowers people today, but also by how it contributes to a better future,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Galaxy S23 Ultra and the full range of the Galaxy S series are the new standard bearers for a trusted premium smartphone experience. We are redefining ultimate performance by fusing power and lasting innovation into devices that have a lower environmental impact.”

The new Galaxy uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors featuring revolutionary AI, an enhanced mobile gaming experience, and more advanced graphics processing.

In the Galaxy S23 Ultra model, the S Pen is included again, which offers more possibilities for productivity, note-taking, games, etc.

A camera with many novelties

Galaxy S23 Ultra incorporates a new 200 MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures moments with incredible precision. It uses ‘pixel binning’ to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at the same time.

Additionally, the Galaxy S23 series introduces fast autofocus and the first Super HDR selfie camera, which jumps from 30fps to 60fps, for higher quality front-facing images and videos.

An option that has been developing significantly in these high-end models is to have manual control of the camera as if it were a professional. Now included is the Expert RAW app, available exclusively for Samsung Galaxy, which lets you capture and edit DSLR-style images in RAW and JPEG, without the need for camera equipment.

Users can experiment with multiple exposure photo art or capture a clear view of the Milky Way with Astrophoto settings, either within the Samsung Camera app or the Expert RAW app. For its part, the new zoom functions of the Camera Controller application of the Galaxy Watch5 series allow users to capture images from the wrist.

Other camera advances are:

• In low light or situations that would normally create a blurry effect, videos are steady thanks to doubled angles of the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) in all directions.

• Videos are more cinematic with upscaled 8K video at 30 frames per second with a wider angle.

• Advanced object-based AI analyzes every detail of the frame, even the minute facial features like hair and eyes, to carefully reflect the dynamic characteristics of a person.

• For an even better video experience, the new 360 Audio Recording feature in Galaxy Buds2 Pro creates multi-dimensional sound.

On the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23, the Samsung Galaxy camera also gets an updated look. The contour case has been removed, marking a new era of essential Galaxy design that makes the entire series stand out.

High performance for mobile games

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy enables superior performance over predecessor models, while Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 5,000 mAh battery lasts over 20% longer.

Galaxy S23 Ultra’s graphics performance is faster by more than 40%, and its AI performance has also been optimized by more than 40% to balance processing and power for photography, videography, low-latency gaming, and more.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra comes ready to support real-time ray tracing coming to mobile games. Users will be able to see much more real scenes thanks to technology that simulates and tracks each ray of light.

Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 6.8-inch Edge display with reduced curvature to create a larger, flatter surface for the best viewing experience. The Enhanced comfort feature allows users to adjust color tones and contrast levels, reducing eye fatigue caused by late-night screen viewing. Vision Boost now adjusts to four lighting levels instead of two to combat glare and reflections in daylight.

security and privacy

All smartphones come with Samsung’s comprehensive Samsung Knox protection, which has received more government and industry certifications than any other mobile device, platform or solution on the market. The Samsung Galaxy Security & Privacy Dashboard lets you know who has access to your data and how it’s used. Users can also decide exactly which apps and programs have access to their data and how it can be used.

For an added level of security, Knox Vault, first introduced on the Galaxy S21 series, protects critical information on the Galaxy S23 series by isolating it from the rest of the device, including the operating system, for further protection against vulnerabilities.

Availability

The Galaxy S23 series comes in four nature-inspired matte shades: Phantom Black, Cream, Green, and Lavender. (YO)
