Leaks are just a glimpse of what’s going to happen next, and, surely, we suggest our readers take this information as a pinch of salt. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone is going to beat all Android rivals with its innovative 200MP camera and well-optimized system.
Ending the statement, the source recommended Samsung find another camera solution for the 2024’s Galaxy S24 flagship. No doubt, the Galaxy S24 line will introduce meaningful changes over its predecessor, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra is still in the works, and camera capability is yet to be tested.
Galaxy S23 Series
It’s reported that the Galaxy S23 series may come with an overclocked variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, globally. These chips may be manufactured by Samsung Foundry under the leadership of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon development in charge.
The Korean tech giant has not yet revealed the launch date of Galaxy S23 series, however, Korean media reports revealed that it’s going to happen in the first week of February 2023. Instead of virtual, the Unpacked will be in-person in San Francisco, United States.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra brings a serious camera upgrade over its predecessor. Replacing the 108MP primary sensor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 image sensor with next-gen technologies such as tetra2pixel for enhanced photography.
Yesterday, the company officially introduced the Galaxy S23 series, and the devices are now available for reviewers and authorized retailers. In a recent development, the YouTube channel Tip3X posted a video showcasing the Galaxy S23 Ultra camera test in 200MP resolution.

As you can see in the test video below, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is taking a long time in capturing the shot in 200MP mode. Not that all, when previewed, the image continues to process and takes a long delay to finalize the shot to be viewed by the user.
ISP update should bring improvements
Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 Ultra boasts a new 200MP Adaptive Pixel sensor that captures epic moments with incredible precision. The HP2 camera sensor uses pixel binning to support multiple levels of high-resolution processing at once.
200MP camera shot reportedly occupies 30MB-35MB storage space, which could also be a factor behind delayed processing. Still, the Galaxy S23 Ultra uses Samsung’s own-developed 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera, which is refined well with the software system.
Reliable tipster earlier revealed that Samsung will release a major firmware update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra as part of improving the ISP function. Since the update would be focussing on the image signal processor, we expect, the camera performance and shutter delay should be normalized.

It is worth mentioning that the company will officially start selling these devices on February 17. Meanwhile, if you pre-order the Galaxy S23 from T-Mobile now, you will get your phone on your door steps on February 17.
