The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a top-of-the-line product from Samsung. The handset has several impressive features for a flagship smartphone. The company is still working on the device to improve the entire experience. It was recently reported that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will soon have a 2x portrait mode feature, allowing users to snap zoomed-in portrait images.

Renowned tipster Ice Universe shared a screenshot of the Samsung forum, where an official moderator confirmed the arrival of the 2x zoom option in video recording. This option is said to use the primary 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor’s center 50MP resolution crop, implying that it isn’t a simple digital crop from existing frames. As a result, the video recording quality will be much improved.

In response to one of the community’s questions, the official forum administrator stated that the company’s engineers had already examined the image quality. As a result, while using the non-native 2x zoom setting while recording videos, factors like brightness and other aspects of quality will be unaffected by it. It’s unclear whether this function will be available on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S23, or Galaxy S23+.

The brand has not yet revealed a specific timeline for the rollout of this feature. However, there are speculations that it may be released by the end of this month or next. As there is no official confirmation at this time, we recommend that you approach this information with a degree of caution.

Previously, Samsung rolled out a system update for the S23 series in April, which brought several camera improvements and bug fixes. These included optimizations to the Gallery app, autofocus mechanism, Super Steady On mode, and Camera Assistant.
