Reportedly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200 megapixel sensor will offer great low light performance for both video capture and photography.

He further added that the camera will also have “unparalleled computational skills.” Ice Universe also claimed that these improvements will be the biggest jump in camera in five years for the brand.

The tipster said that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will retain the same zoom cameras as the last gen Galaxy S22 Ultra, which means a 3x and 10x periscopic zoom sensor. However, the telephoto sensor wi feature improvements in color and “some AI algorithms” that will make big improvements in overall quality on the newer flagship model.

The news arrives from a Galaxy Club report that claims that it is certain that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a 200 megapixel camera. Just earlier, we had covered new render leaks that showcased the design of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It revealed that the device will not feature any major changes in its design over its predecessor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra. But while the design might not have changed, the primary camera is seeing a big bump in resolution.

Keep in mind that a higher pixel count doesn’t necessarily translate to a better image, although, it will allow Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra to capture more details and offer more ways to utilize the larger resolution images. Furthermore, the Galaxy S22 Ultra had one of the best cameras in a smartphone this year, so we can expect the Galaxy S23 Ultra also having some great image quality.

The company already has a 200 megapixel camera sensor, so it was only a matter of time before the flagship models getting such a shooter. Notably, the report from Galaxy Club also stated that the S23 Ultra will still feature the same 10 megapixel periscopic telephoto lens that offers 10x zoom and a 10 megapixel telephoto module with 3x optical zoom. However, no details were shared regarding the ultra wide angle lens.

Samsung is hyping the credentials of its 200MP HP1 sensor with a video showing some of the sensor’s capabilities. The video shows that the new sensor can preserve a great deal of detail. We are still awaiting the first smartphone to debut the Samsung 200MP sensor.

Samsung announced the ISOCELL HP1 sensor back in September 2021. It however seems a Motorola smartphone will be the first to have the monster sensor. The video details how the HP1 sensor was attached to a Frankenstein rig having a test board, an external display, and another lens. The setup was then used to capture photos of a cat. The photo output was then printed on an industrial printer.

The optimized still image of the cat was done on a 28 x 22 meters canvas with several 2.3m pieces attached together and hung on a building. The HP1 sensor is capable of zooming or cropping images while their details remain intact. The new ChamelonCell pixel binning technology is another great feature of the HP1 sensor. It allows the grouping of up to 16 pixels to achieve different resolutions from 12.5MP to 200MP.
