Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 12MP, 50MP and 200MP camera shots compared early

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with a massive 200MP primary camera, which shoots at 12MP resolution in regular mode, and 50MP mode (shots below). Samsung’s latest beast produces excellent quality images in the full 200MP resolution as shots revealed before launch. Thanks to tipster...

For starters, Twitter.com presses the crap out of any photos. You can't judge photos placed on Social Media for that very reason.

i saw this review

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Meer megapixels en megahertzen

De Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra lijkt wel heel erg op zijn voorganger, de S22 Ultra. Zijn er toch nog genoeg verschillen en verbeteringen om ervoor te gaan?

tweakers.net

e.g. these photos, to explain what i'm talking about

in the preview from GSMarena i see same weaknesses
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
The first (from teakers are ugly (uglyer than a samsung s5-6)... do you really thing it's a real sample... i think it's impossible.

"in the preview from GSMarena i see same weaknesses" hu where...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
anyway, maybe you're right. I'm exited to get it and try

but do you think we'll get a gcam port?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
mmm do't know... haven't read anything about it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
P30 what? Huawei P30 Pro, Huawei P30 Lite, or just Huawei P30? Now I think if s23u has a snapdragon it might get a fully working gcam port.

I hope you'll have a smooth and great experience! Battery life, google pay shouldn't be a problem on s23u! 😄 Performance will be WAY better too!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Huawei p30 cause i wanted small, but I bought for my gf the P30 pro. There aren't much differences in camera performances although.

Widley considered one of the best android ever produced, still a beast for photo quality and battery life.

Huawei was really 2/3 generations ahead.

Anyway, is a pre ban model, so no problem with Google services :D

I have my S23 Ultra 512GB for about 8 hours now.

First impressions are little underwhelmed. I suppose I expected the bee's knees...

The new portrait mode have an artificially looking blur effect. Fortunately it can be removed entirely. Also Samsung Expert Raw is now incorporated in the Camera app itself. It has a Multiple exposures mode, which I see for the first time. It takes up to 9 exposures, but I'm yet to try it out.

The biometrics face recognition is hit and miss for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
is ther a screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bgtip:
No screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
Means you'll have to order one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bgtip:
Why a screen protector is necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
For someone it's necessary, if they don't want to break their phone's display by accident, they can break their screen protector first
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] robi101012981:
Because of scratches? It's better to have one, even if it's a plastic one because you'll not see anymore the minor scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fil.lujan:
I'm excited, I have the S22U and preordered the new 23U, I'm a bit weary since it's unlocked, Wondering if it will work the same as if I had gotten the T-Mobile software based version. But 512GB for the price of the 256 I couldn't pass. I was a bit sore of the trade in value only being at $500 for my device. Guess it's a skip year for wicked deals like they've normally done???? This is the first year I'm getting a screen protector since it was free from purchasing the device. I'm excited to get it though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
The U1 (Unlocked) model works just as good as the T-Mobile version. You just get a lot less carrier bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fil.lujan:
Oh great, Thank you. I was told by the reps that I'd not have wifi calling, visual vm or have lots of errors with it. Appreciate your reply!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
WiFi Calling will work perfectly fine. T-Mobile uses the stock implementation that Google created for Android, which is also present in the U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Exand:
If someone already has S23/S23U in their hands, check it for PWM.

This is easy to do:

1. Brightness set to 50%

2. Take a ballpoint pen and wave it in front of the smartphone screen. If it "doubles" - PWM is here.

Thank you.

So i played with the s23 ultra for one hour today and I was surpised (in a bad way):

I don't know if it's a problem of software but the camera gave me some bad results... I didnt believe it (i was wrong).

The pictures was so bad: really noisy et in the same time with movement blur everywhere. And the gallery app was sooooo long. Oo

I receive mine monday and if it's the same with this one, I can't keep it... it's a hard disappointment for now.

Fl1nt91 i was so wrong​
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Play with it some more and change the default setting and try the options and compare. I believe you can take pictures with 200 mp, 50mp and 12mp. There is an option to choose which one you want to use for the main camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Turn off smoothing! It makes a huge difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
I tried all these mode with all aperture (even pro mode).

The worse was 200 mpx...

The 50 mpx was ok but with noise and mvmt blur on element.

The 12mpx was ok but nothing more than my s21+

It was really bad, i hope it was just a software problem. I receive mine monday I can try some more.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
How
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Sad to hear, I have enormous expectations on this device.

Mine will arrive on Monday and I'll see...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] miguelito18:
Well, I'm getting mine on Monday and I can't wait lol.

Currently coming from a s10
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
It's an option in the camera app settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Canard caché:
Like i said... i see just software problem in this... I need to try more.

But 200 mpx dosnt seems to do anything in this.

We'll have to investigate in low light photography too and with the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fil.lujan:
How are you getting it so early? I preordered and it says delivery 2/17
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bgtip:
So far I'm impressed from the camera. I went for a night shot, having a great expectations of the 16x pixel binning. I used Samsung Expert Raw only, shooting in ISO 100 mostly, on a tripod, with a remote control, at 12 MP to make use of the pixel binning. I processed the dng files in Lightroom. My overall impression is that the pictures are oversharpened somehow, even if I set the sharpening to 0 in Lightroom. That is for the main camera, which is supposedly the best. The dynamic range however seems excellent. Not so on the 10x zoom camera, where I had to combine two exposures, because on the main exposure highlights were blown. To have such zoom power in your pocket however is nice.

What I'm less than impressed is that there is no built-in intervalometer with bracketed exposures. I had to manually press the remote control every time. Curiously the pen remote doesn't work with Samsung Expert Raw, but fortunately my Bluetooth remote works.

Now I realize that this a phone camera only, but still I can't understand why there is no bracketed exposures feature. There are other camera apps with it, but will they support 16-bit RAW files? I doubt it, but we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shaolin95:
I am debating cancelling my preorder after seeing some comparisons where it was not the blow out I was hoping in terms of camera. In fact, the selfie camera I tend to always prefer the look (not resolution but look) of the S22 Ultra.

I like that the animations are smoother though but hardly worth an upgrade just for that lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Upgraded from s21+ to s23 ultra 512/12 for 256/8gb price + buds pro 2(btw it's upgraded as well). Phone is super smooth right from the start. On first boot I installed like 50 programs, used It for 3 hours straight and it only discharged for 25~ percent. Camera is amazing especially portrait mode, videos in darker enviroments are much better. What surprised me the most little things are improved for example speaker bass is noticeably better, auto brightness works very good. Looking forward for future updates to improve experience even more.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] erik2041999:
Some countries have it differently no idea why. For me it said delivery by 6/02 however, surprisingly I had it delivered yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] miguelito18:
I ordered on the 1st here in Portugal. They said that shipping begins on the 3rd
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hallo dare:
Been told that shipping for Ireland will be the 17th of February.

Would have thought that they would aim to have it with customers who preordered for the launch date of the 17th, but you never know, might happen.

for i receive the mobile one monday (the status is "is sent")... don't know why...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
Performance + Camera will be way better :) Hope you'll have a great experience

Will you order an S23 Ultra if it has PWM?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Here in Poland are already available in phisical stores since last week
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amazin:
Hi, got mine saturday afternoon.

12Go/1To/Green.

Huge upgrade from my s8+.

Took a while to install bask all my apps as my previous phone died.

I was worried it would be too massive and heavy but not so much difference in size only screen ratio is much better on the s23u.

Super smooth. Impressed by the s pen write to type capability (even with my bad handwritting it got it right, not sure if it's faster than typing though.

Not tried the photos and videos features yet.

So far so good. Very impressed and happy.

Hope to keep it minimum as long as my s8+ (5&1/2 years).

If you have any questions feel free to ask
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] selayan:
How does the trade in through Samsung work? Do they send you a box with your order to send your old phone in?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
When they ship your phone out they will email you the instructions. But basically you put you old phone in the new box without any accessories. Just the phone nothing else. You first have to remove all your accounts from old phone which is under Manage Accounts in Settings. After that you do a factory reset and pack it up in the box. Then you print out the shipping label that came in the email and take it to a FedEx Location and that's it. I always keep my boxes for the phones so I just send it back in the old phone box.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] selayan:
Thanks that makes sense. I'm really debating whether to trade my S22U in just for hopefully better battery life. All the years before my friends with Samsung devices always raved about the trade in deals but the first year I actually have a chance to take part in it, the deal is not so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Samsung only offering $500 because the market value for an S22U is $600 which I looked up today. They gotta make a profit and so that's why it's $500 for the trade in.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] selayan:
I guess it depends where you checking because here in the states in Swappa I see a lot of them for $700-850 for sale in good/mint condition.

The prices there may go down after the 23 is publicly out but it does not seem like preorders did so well this year. I can still get one delivered by the 17th.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I am in the states but I didn't check all of the sites so yes might be worth more. Oh well it is what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
If you have exynos variant right now you will notice better battery for sure. Otherwise don't upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] selayan:
It's the snapdragon model since I'm in the US. Really curious to see what real users are gonna get for battery after release. But by then I'm sure the discounts won't be available. I'm sure later near the spring there will be other opportunities if battery really turns out to be at real world use of iPhone level.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
20 percent discharged with twitch, youtube, facebook, instagram multitasking in 2hours and 30 minutes(2hours in standby). For me It's amazing coming from s21+ exynos and it's only second full charge since I bought It. 2k 120hz and auto brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
That's awesome!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] netnerd:
just cus it listed 700$ - 800$, it doesn't mean you able to sell it that much
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
Things I Think improved over S22 ultra ,

1. Speakers (a little)

2. Microphones & background noise cancellation

3. Stability in videos

4. Night Photography

5. Screen , it seems Similar but it is A different screen , better viewing angles & Doesn't shift green when tilting the phone , it stays White which is good

6. Battery May be a couple of hours more in battery Nothing more.

Battery life seems agreeable to me

We don't have that option here... mine was 220€ off that price (launch promotion)

Only at the beginning and afterthat it will be smooth , I had aslo the same problem with S22 Ultra and I think it is because of the Matt finish of the Spen since S22 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
To users who received the unit already:

Could you share

how's

the vibration motor?

camera shutter lag across all modes?

Any charging speed difference/total time taken to fully charge in between 45W vs 25W?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Vibration motor is very good compared to my previous phone(s21+).

There is shutter lag on 200mp mode because of processing. But regular auto photos are fast to capture. You can make it even more faster installing "camera assistant" from galaxy store and ticking "faster shutter option"(you'll lose some details in darker areas but without zoom you can't even see it).

Personally I don't use fast charging because I'm planning to stick with this phone for at least 3 years. For regular charging It charges even faster than my s21+ with smaller battery and same power brick. That surprised me.

Hello XDA community!

Just bought this piece of technology and discovered, that the android options are very limited. I don't even have the app manager menu enabled in my settings. Is there any way to enable some of the usual default android settings options? The app manager is a must, cuz I wanna disable some of the preinstalled crap.

Tried sideloading some apps through ADB and they don't show up in my app drawer.

I also want to use the Private DNS feature just like on my android phone, but this option is also not availale in settings, since there is no network settings in android settings.

Dafuq is this s#it? Is there somekinda kid mode enabled? Is this an Apple knock-off based on Android OS?

Any options to block YT ads? So fckn annoying to listen to that crap every 5 mins.

How about rooting?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReeLT:
Bro, I didn't mention anything about Whatsapp not working on my TV.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReeLT:
Thank u for your answer!

So yea, the device most certainly didn't come with a kid mode configured. But It most certainly did come with a "sheep" mode configured, so that the massive ad feeding campaign couldn't be interrupted in any way. I read that Android TV OS now have some ad crap on their default home screens (aka launchers), so first thing's first - gotta disable all those pesky auto updates.

I tried vanced, but I guess that stuff is not supported anymore. I sideloaded vanced filtes via adb, but 2/3 of them didn't install. Also I've read, that latest vanced lacked somekinda specific TV UI functionality, so that's not gonna work for me. I guess smarttubenext does the job now, although I'd still prefer the root vanced.

My first question is about the adb shell commands. What are my options to execute somekinda command, for spawning unrestricted android settings apk or a restricted part of settings apk? At least I wanna get a full default app manager, and network settings. These settings stripped from the OS are very precious. This feels even worse than a crapple device. Can u or someone else please provide a list of adb shell codes and translations for them to spawn settings or parts of the settings?

Adblocking is somewhat available via dns configuration, which does work most of the time, but that is not a preferred option for me.

Is there any way I could force adb to manipulate the with the hosts file?

How about force copy an apk to system/app folder and preset target permissions?

Maybe some vulnerability I could use for that? It's not like the newest OS version, it's only Android 11.

There must be something.. C'mon.. this is my piece of equipment, I paid cash money for the device and OS. I want my OS functionality. I'm not renting it. It's mine. MINE!

Have you tried smart tube next? Great YouTube app for tv and it includes sponsorblock. I actually have YT premium membership because I use iOS, but I STILL can’t live without smart tube on my tv
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] ReeLT:
Yea, SmartTubeNext is working fine, so I'm gonna stick with it. I did disable some safe apps via adb.

Unfortunately hosts file editing will not work without root. :(

But is there any chance to access the Android App manager? I think this is a must.. If an app crashes I can force close it and clear data, but if I don't have the file manager, my only option will be factory reset. That's stupid. How can I get the app manager to show up in Android settings?

Hello, it is a couple of weeks now that Play Protect warns me that S2A is not safe, and I must uninstall it.

So basically, this (and many other custom apps) no longer works with AA?

I got an S23 Ultra with the newest AA (10.2.633224) and according to my tests, the only thing working is a notification-related app. Shame, but tbh that one app is beneficial after all :)
