As some may expet, these are mostly iterative updates to the previous models, though some key differences stand out. Samsung is also taking aim at the best in mobile photography by equipping a new image sensor and even throwing a bone or two to more prosumer shooters. We’ll wait to judge the results once we review them at PetaPixel.

Samsung announced its latest 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 image sensor prior to this launch, which fits in with one of the themes behind the Galaxy S23 Ultra: night and low-light photography.

A New Ultra Image Sensor
Samsung also embedded Expert RAW into the camera app rather than hiding it in the Galaxy Store like it did before. It also now lets you shoot at 50 megapixels, a big improvement over the 12-megapixel limit from the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

More to Come With Expert RAW
This mode is actually baked into Expert RAW and will only work when shooting at 12 megapixels. It’s also unclear exactly what sequence works best. When I briefly tested it by shooting a bright subject first, and a dark one second, the results were awful.

The wide lens (23mm equivalent) on the Galaxy S23 Ultra dominates the entire lineup here, but there is the 12-megapixel ultra-wide (13mm equivalent), 10-megapixel telephoto (70mm equivalent) and 10-megapixel periscope telephoto (230mm equivalent ) to go with it. Samsung claims night and low-light shots will be better on all of them, thanks to software improvements, but that remains to be seen against stiff competition from other vendors.
