The newest samples to surface from the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera leak include 4K video footage.
The videos that are included here are from Edwards Urbina’s YouTube channel (opens in new tab), a Nicaraguan who was successful in obtaining a Galaxy S23 Ultra early and has been sharing camera samples for the past few days. Be careful, though, that Urbina has been often erasing his posts (perhaps to evade Samsung’s wrath), so if these videos disappear, that is likely the reason.
Galaxy S23 Ultra camera sample
The first one, showing a monkey and its young climbing up a telephone line, appears to be rather closely cropped, yet the image is actually extremely crisp. But because the capture speed is 60 frames per second, it is undoubtedly smooth.
However, neither of these appears to be zoomed in in this view of a small river and the trees below.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is already able to capture all three of the videos in 4K at 60 frames per second. However, the S23 Ultra is said to be capable of 8K at 30 frames per second, which would be an improvement above the S22 Ultra’s 24 frames per second maximum at that resolution.
Even if they were recorded at the same quality and frame rate, it’s likely that a different camera sensor was used to capture these videos. A 200MP primary camera sensor, which could produce extraordinarily detailed photos and video, is the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s biggest enhancement.
Unfortunately, unlike Urbina did with his other disclosures, there is no side-by-side comparison for these videos. We’re curious to see how Samsung’s most recent gadget stacks up against its main Android opponent, the Google Pixel 7 Pro, as well as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is presently at the top of our rankings for the best camera phones.
Hopefully, following Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1, we’ll be able to make accurate comparisons. The Galaxy S23 series, which includes the Galaxy S23 Ultra, is expected to be unveiled on that day, according to strong hints. Samsung will undoubtedly make a big deal out of its new camera technology, but we’re also interested in finding out if the reported custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU and price increases are accurate or not.
