A Camera with More Megapixels and Extensive Creative Controls, From Day to Night

Galaxy S23 Ultra offers Samsung Galaxy’s most advanced camera system with improved Nightography capabilities. Visual noise that usually ruins low-light images is corrected by a new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and color tone.

In a Samsung Galaxy first, Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures epic moments with incredible precision. It uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once.

On Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23, the iconic camera also gets an upgraded look. The contour housing has been removed, marking a new era of essential Galaxy design that makes the entire series stand out.

Premium Performance Makes Way for the Future of Mobile Gaming

Meanwhile, on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 5000mAh battery[iii] powers a larger camera than Galaxy S22 Ultra without increasing the device’s size.
