Undoubtedly, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra stands at the pinnacle of smartphone technology in 2023, and it outshines every Android competitor in design and performance. Though today, we will talk about its camera — specifically, the camera at night.
The advent of the new 200-megapixel sensor for the primary camera has bestowed the S23 Ultra with the ability to capture exquisitely detailed RAW images while enhancing nighttime photography.
During nighttime shooting, the phone employs pixel binning technology, grouping the pixels into clusters of 16, thus generating 12-megapixel images, sizable pixels, and heightened light-capturing capabilities. This is why night shots on S23 Ultra look ever so pleasing.
It's no secret; Samsung discretely efforts to continually improve the camera quality of its flagship phones through over-the-air (OTA) updates. Even post-sales, their photo shooting capabilities keep enhancing. It is also true for the S23 Ultra. Samsung's mobile prices are designed to fit a wide variety of budgets, making it possible for everyone to own a high-quality smartphone.
As per revelations by the prominent Samsung insider @UniverseIce, on Twitter, the company is gearing up to further augment the S23 Ultra's already impressive night photography prowess via an upcoming OTA firmware update. He claims to have tested the Beta version of the update and confirms the improvement in night shots.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra already boasts its superiority in capturing natural-looking night photos. It surpasses its predecessor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which is still a master in night shots. Despite this, Samsung seems determined to refine the primary shooter even further.
While it remains uncertain whether the tech giant will be able to squeeze out better performance from its 200-megapixel sensors, it is plausible that some enhancements could address the suboptimal low-light performance of the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras. However, nothing is sure as of yet.
