These hidden features on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra NOBODY are Talking About. There are many new features in the S23 Ultra. You don’t even know that the front-facing camera now has Pro mode for images and videos, that ultra-steady video can be shot in QHD resolution, or that portrait video is now in 4K resolution are not being discussed. With gorilla glass vectors, the phone is also much more durable. Almost every feature has been improved, including performance, microphones, speakers, and cameras, making the S23 ultra an improvement over the s22 ultra. Let’s talk about it.
4K portrait video
These hidden features on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra NOBODY are Talking About.
- First of all, nobody is mentioning the fact that the portrait video has been upgraded to 4K resolution
- Which is a significant improvement from the 1080p resolution of the S22 Ultra last year.
- In addition, the portrait video can now focus on objects as well; in the past, it could only focus on human or animal faces.
Continuous Video in QHD
Here is a quick video of me holding the phone while running around in super steady video mode.
- The footage appears to be quite stable to me honestly, and Samsung hadn’t updated their super study mode in quite a few years, so I think it was about time they did.
- Super steady video mode now displays in QHD resolution, an upgrade from 1080p last year.
the Front Cam’s Pro mode
The best part about this is that the front-facing videos can also be shot using Pro mode, so I can just hit record attach like a wireless mic and I can shoot a video of myself in 4k while I can actually see myself in it.
- Next, the front camera now has Pro mode, which was previously only available on the rear cameras.
- Now you can quite literally shoot a professional photo of yourself given the right lighting by being able to tweak the white balance ISO shutter speed.
- I can now actually see myself, which is a game-changer, especially for professional vloggers because, as you probably already know.
- This is pro mode, which means that your lighting, white balance, exposure, and other settings won’t change as the lighting around you changes.
- This is really cool, but the low-light performance has seen the biggest improvement.
Front Camera
The front camera has decreased in resolution from 40 megapixels.
- Last year to 12 megapixels this year, it features a new sensor that allows for clearer, crisper, and more.
- Color-accurate selfies even in low light. In addition, the front camera has a 60 quicker auto focus speed.
Videos and Pictures in Low Light
The S23 ultra uses improved AI to reduce that noise and it is evidently effective.
- When you look at the exposure balance in areas with bright light and even the text, which is so much more clear and crisp on the device. This also reflects in the video.
- Where the AI works very hard to reduce noise and gives you much cleaner video footage, and then it uses adaptive vdis and has 2x better optic limit stabilization ses adaptive vdis and it’s got 2x better optic limit stabilization.
- The footage is a lot less blurry now I don’t know about you guys but personally, for me, I think this is a significant improvement in both low-light photos and videos in fact I really think it beats the iPhone 14 Pro Series in low-light photos and videos.
New 200 MP sensor
You can now essentially switch to a 200-megapixel mode.
- Take shots that are really detailed and that will retain tremendous detail even when you zoom in or crop into them. For example, if you look at some of the shots that I quickly took, they look very promising.
- Will they deliver?
- This photo appears to be a pretty good photo, but this was actually a cropped part of a photo that I took in the 200-megapixel mode.
Compatible third-party applications
The quality of images you take today using these applications directly is going to be a lot better because even compatibility with third-party apps that you use for capturing photos, like Instagram or TikTok, or even WhatsApp, is better.
Ray-tracing video games
The S23 series, as you may have heard, has one of the most potent and overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processors.
- The coolest feature is that it will support Ray tracing games. To start, these games have not yet been released but will do so later this year and even more so next year.
- Ray tracing games offer a more PC-like experience and mimic real-world physics with regard to Light Shadows and Textures giving you a more realistic gaming experience.
- The fact that the S23 Ultra is already ready for it is the big thing. Oh, and the S23 Ultra has 2.7 times larger Vapor Chamber, so even though it has more performance.
- It will remain much cooler simply indicates that it is more energy-efficient, meaning that the same 5000 mAh battery should provide you with more battery life.
Durability
Now let’s discuss some design details.
- The S23 ultra may resemble the s22 ultra at first glance, but don’t let this deceive you.
- First of all, the S23 ultra is stronger than the s22 ultra because it has gorilla glass vectors 2 which are resilient enough to withstand falls on concrete as well as asphalt, basically rough surfaces or roads, and that is a big deal.
- I mean who doesn’t want one of the strongest Android smartphones especially if you’re paying such a high price there’s also this metallic Rim around the lens that slightly differentiates it from the s22 ultra and that gives the S23 ultra ip68 water and dust resistance and it’s got that strong armor aluminum body which I don’t.
Eco Friendly
As a leader, Samsung is doing its part to make a difference, and I just want to show my support.
- I also want to take a moment to recognize Samsung’s focus on lowering its carbon footprint, from its packaging.
- Which is made from 100 recycled paper to their phone, which uses recycled materials for their accessories.
Speakers
The speakers’ quality has also been very little upgraded, so you now only get a little bit more volume and slightly better bass.
- This is not a significant improvement, but it is definitely an improvement over last year.
Software
The S23 series is one of the first phone lines to get One UI 5. 1, which has a few new features.
- You can still edit your lock screen to make it your own, stack widgets to save space and access them more quickly, and multitask between your Galaxy devices to transfer files, copy text, view images, and more.
- But you also get some brand-new features that you didn’t see before, such as the ability to take screenshots and send them to other devices.
Pricing and Variants
Now let’s talk about the pricing and the variants for a minute.
The launch prices for us and this is the corresponding India pricing but you know what pre-booking offers really sweet in the deal so here in India if you pre-book the S23.
- You’ll get the 256 gigs variant for the same price as the 128 gigs variant if you pre-book the S23 plus you can get the watch 4 for just 3000 rupees.
- If you pre-book the S23 ultra you can get the watch 4 classic LTE variant and the buds 2 for just 5000 rupees and then on top of all of this.
- You can still get 8 000 rupees cashback through multiple Bank discounts making it even cheaper.
Conclusion
Now, guys, it’s only been a few days since I’ve been using the phone, and I’m still waiting for another one to two weeks before I can share my full review and you know share my opinion on the camera performance and battery life. In this article, I just want you to touch upon things that were absolutely new in the S23 series things that are hardly being talked about or even talked about at the launch event itself. It would be ideal for you to post a remark right now and ask any questions you may have about this phone regarding the heating and general experience. many thanks, for reading.
