Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features a quad camera setup on the back. The main camera is a 200MP sensor that also features optical image stabilization. It features a 10MP periscope lens and another 10MP telephoto lens.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the new king of photography

Apart from the technical specifications of the smartphone, it comes with some really great photography features. Samsung introduced what they call Photo Nightography. This feature uses AI and software processing to take night mode photos to a different level. With Photo Nightography, you can even capture crisp portraits just like a real professional camera.

With the help of artificial intelligence and software processing, the smartphone can also give you better magnification than its predecessor. The S22 Ultra was already the ultimate in zooming until the launch of the S23 Ultra. So you’re in for a better “boost” with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
