The Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung’s latest flagship, has been released to much fanfare. At its center is its acclaimed 200-megapixel camera, which promises improved picture quality, faster autofocus, and a host of other features designed to make it the ultimate smartphone camera. But how does it hold up in everyday use? We’ve used the Galaxy S23 Ultra for a month now to put its camera through its paces, and here’s what we found.
The most obvious feature of the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera is its 200-megapixel resolution. Several comparisons have been made between the detail in pictures taken with the S23 Ultra and those taken with other flagship phones. In our opinion, the difference is clear. Images are incredibly crisp and sharp, even when zoomed in. Colors are more vibrant, and shadows and highlights are more distinct.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera also benefits from faster autofocus and improved stabilization. We took the phone to the beach, and were able to capture amazing shots of crashing waves and kids playing in the sand. Autofocus was snappy and responsive, and the camera was able to compensate for our unsteady hands quite well.
The camera also comes with features like AI-assisted image processing and an adjustable aperture, which allows users to tweak the amount of light entering the lens. It’s an impressive set of tools for anyone looking to get creative with their shots.
All in all, our verdict is that the Galaxy S23 Ultra is an excellent camera phone. The 200 megapixel resolution and fast autofocus make it well-suited for a wide range of photography needs. Whether you’re looking for high-definition shots or something more artistic, the S23 Ultra’s camera is up to the task.
