The tipster highlighted that 200MP camera phones launched by Motorola and Xiaomi let users snap a shot in 50MP resolution.

Unlike moto and Xiaomi, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra only offers 200MP and 12.5MP, not 50MP mode.— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) October 19, 2022
Earlier, it was reported that the company’s new 200MP camera sensor for the Galaxy S23 Ultra will offer 12.5MP image capturing, thanks to the pixel binning process that merges multiple small pixels into one single large pixel to deliver improved image quality in low-light conditions.

As the Galaxy S23 flagship lineup preparations are at the very initial level, we expect the features might not disappoint Samsung fans. It’s also worth noting that the S23 Ultra might not equip either HP1 or HP3, as there will be a new Galaxy-exclusive 200MP sensor by Samsung ISOCELL.
Recently, IceUniverse disclosed that the Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphones support fast charging up to 45W. However, the TENAA certification revealed, last month, that the charging capability of the S23 trio is stuck on 25W.
ISOCELL Flashback
The Galaxy S20 Ultra debuted the first 108MP image sensor in Samsung’s flagship lineup, which later continued with the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra. The same resolution sensor can also be seen in the company’s mid-range Galaxy A73 smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE outperformed the Apple iPhone 16 Plus in ray tracing. The new Fan Edition is equipped with an Exynos 2400e processor, while Apple’s iPhone 16 Plus uses an A18 chip manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process.
GSMArena evaluated the Exynos 2400e performance used in Galaxy S24 FE. The chip has a slightly lower core frequency than the Exynos 2400. However, this modification made no major change in terms of performance.
Galaxy S24 FE with Exynos 2400e scored 2146 and 6711 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. It’s slightly less than the 2201 single-core and 6926 multi-core points in the Galaxy S24’s Exynos 2400 chipset.
Apple’s A18 chip lags behind the Exynos 2400e used in the Galaxy S24 FE in ray tracing performance. The iPhone 16 scored 6,691 points in 3DMark’s Solar Bay test, whereas the Exynos Exynos 2400 scored 8,743 points.
Meanwhile, the phone scored 3,870 points in 3DMark’s Wild Life Extreme GPU test at 4K resolution compared to 4,029 points of the iPhone 16 Plus. The Galaxy S24+’s Exynos 2400 chip scored 4,365 points on the same benchmark.
iPhone 16 Plus is a flagship phone, while the S24 FE belongs to Samsung’s Fan Edition. The mainstream flagship line is S24, which is far ahead in GPU performance. Apple’s CPU edge will also be crushed with the Galaxy S25 series.
