Review: Samsung stuck with a familiar look in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but it’s what is underneath that counts and it pushes the phone’s camera forward.
. This pivots the camera to something that feels more versatile and adaptable compared to the ISOCELL HM3 Samsung equipped in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
There’s plenty to find otherwise, given how much Samsung focused on improving image quality. When it introduced Adaptive Pixel with the previous S22 Ultra, the feature bracketed a 108-megapixel and pixel-binned 12-megapixel shot together for one image, thereby merging the detail of the smaller pixels with the light capture of the binned pixels. The general concept remains with the S23 Ultra, only this time there are more and larger pixels to work with.
There’s one other neat feature Samsung doesn’t really talk about. I know filters can be bad, but there is a nascent ecosystem around them through the Galaxy Store. Tap the filter icon in the top right in the camera app, and next to the standard row of preloaded choices, tap the plus symbol to download others or create your own.
I can see how similar results might look good, say, on exposed brick or taking a portrait photo and laying it on top of a textured surface for effect. It is prone to failure, though, more so because the software is pulling out what it thinks is the main subject. Moreover, it has a weird habit of always thinking you’re shooting upright, even when you’ve clearly shot in landscape.
