The June 2023 massive camera update for the Galaxy S23 series is reaching the flagship phone in more markets. The firmware debuted last week in a few countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, and now it is rolling out for Galaxy S23 users in Europe. The update has the same firmware version as […]
The April 2023 update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra was chock-full of camera improvements, but Samsung's journey is far from complete. The company has just confirmed that it plans to release even more camera and gallery updates to older high-end phones. The Samsung Community moderator in charge of camera updates shared a feature list containing […]
VCX Forum, an independent non-profit organization reviewing camera phones, gave the Galaxy S23 Ultra the highest rating. The phone's camera system received 69 points out of 100, which might not sound like a lot, but according to VCX Forum's scoring system, 69 points is enough to rank atop all other smartphones they tested. The Galaxy […]
While Samsung made a big deal about astrophotography features on the Galaxy S23 series, not all of the features actually debuted on the new flagships. A dedicated mode to take photos of the stars and the sky using long exposure times was introduced on the Galaxy S22 series through Samsung's Expert RAW app, while the […]
The Galaxy S23 series brought a lot of new camera features, including 8K 30fps videos, 4K portrait videos, and QHD resolution for Super Steady mode. It also introduced Astro Hyperlapse, a new camera feature lets you capture stunning time-lapse videos of the night sky, featuring stars trails and other objects in space. However, it seems […]
Samsung's Gallery app has a clever(ish) feature that can group similar images, pick a “best” photo from the group for you, and hide the others. The Gallery app doesn't delete the remaining photos that weren't labeled “best,” but it doesn't show them as regular photos you can swipe through. And as we'll explain below, this […]
Over the past year or so, we came across a few reports suggesting that Samsung is trying to become a camera supplier for the world's largest EV (electric vehicle) manufacturer, Tesla. The Korean tech giant finally put an end to speculations today and confirmed that it is, indeed, in talks with Tesla. Samsung Electro-Mechanics says […]
Last year, Samsung released the pro-grade mobile photography app Expert RAW for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and availability has since expanded to include the Galaxy S22. Now, Samsung is rolling out a new update for Expert RAW, and this time, it adds compatibility for the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Samsung said in February that it […]
A Samsung Community moderator in charge of detailing camera changes and updates has revealed the list of Galaxy S22 camera features that will be coming to older devices with the One UI 4.1 update. Better yet, the moderator expects One UI 4.1 to start rolling out today, but the mod also reminds everyone that there's […]
We've had multiple glimpses at the Galaxy S22 Ultra's cameras over the past few weeks. The P-shaped module will house four sensors, similar to what we saw on its predecessor, the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Although it will feature the same 108MP camera sensor found on its previous-generation counterparts, Samsung could have a few tricks up […]
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 should come the closest to Samsung's notion of a “perfect” smartphone than any one of its predecessors ever did. At least based on the fact that we're finally going to see a truly full-screen device, one that even lacks an obvious display hole housing its selfie camera. That much, at […]
LG might have thrown in the towel, but its smartphone legacy lives on in none other than Samsung, i.e. Galaxy camera tech.
Samsung recently unveiled its 50MP ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor for smartphones. It is the successor to the company’s first-generation 50MP camera sensor, the ISOCELL GN1. Apart from being Samsung’s biggest smartphone camera sensor ever, the ISOCELL GN2 brings important improvements in autofocus and HDR performance. The company should prefer the ISOCELL GN2 over any of […]
Samsung might be working on a new ISOCELL image sensor with a 200MP resolution. Although the product has yet to be confirmed, a few industry watchers claim that the sensor has the S5KGND designation, and more importantly, it could debut with the help of a non-Samsung device. The ZTE Axon 30 Pro might be the […]
The Galaxy S20 Ultra was one of Samsung's most highly-specced flagships ever when it launched early last year (some weeks before the pandemic took hold), and its 100x Space Zoom camera was one of its more insane features. As everyone had expected, pictures taken at 100x magnification were more or less good only for boasting rights, which […]
