According to tipster IceUniverse, the South Korean variant of the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone features greatly reduced camera shutter lag in 50MP and 200MP modes. Pay attention, there’s no difference between the Korean and international variants this year, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy!
Today, Samsung started to roll out a new firmware update to the Galaxy S23 series devices. As per the info, the latest release improves the camera photography function and Gallery application. It shows the company is additionally polishing the overall user experience and camera of the new phones.
Coming back, camera shutter lag is the delay that occurs when hitting the capture button until the final image processing. A faster shutter speed makes it possible to quietly capture the second and third shots, which was quite low in previous Galaxy phones.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra reportedly decreased camera shutter delay in the high-resolution image capture modes including 50MP and 200MP. It can be further boosted using the Good Lock’s Camera Assistant plugin, but you need to compromise with quality.

Galaxy S23 Ultra
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with a total of five camera sensors (four on the back plus a selfie snapper). On the rear side, there are four sensors including a 200MP main, a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, a 10MP telephoto with 10x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor.
For selfies, Samsung uses a new 12MP camera sensor on the Galaxy S23 lineup, which sounds a downgrade on S23 Ultra, but brings meaningful improvements. Talking about nightography, the S23 Ultra will surely blow your mind as it turns night into day in photos, thanks to the new processor and software.
After OLED, Samsung is entering Apple’s CIS supply chain. Ming-Chi Kuo today revealed that Samsung could start shipping 48MP camera for Apple iPhone models as early as 2026. It’s a big blow to Apple’s conventional image supplier, Sony.
For years, Sony has dominated Apple’s iPhone camera supply chain. The entry of Samsung in the Apple iPhone 48MP camera supply is certain in early 2026. The source mentioned that Samsung had to form a dedicated team to serve Apple.
As Samsung’s supply could start in 2026, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 may still use Sony sensors. As the Korean tech giant preps for supply, Apple may have considered completing its agreement/contract with Sony for the iPhone camera.
Ming-Chi Kuo’s article reads:
- Samsung is expected to begin shipping 1/2.6-inch 48MP ultra-wide CMOS image sensors (CIS) to Apple for iPhones as early as 2026, breaking Sony’s years-long monopoly on supplying CIS to Apple. To this end, Samsung has established a dedicated team to serve Apple.
The gap of nearly two years would result in some changes in camera supply. The iPhone maker may also opt for a multi-vendor strategy to freeze prices. Having more than a single supply chain partner empowers the manufacturer during price negotiation.
Kuo notes that Samsung will supply a 1/2.6-inch image sensor for iPhone. The product will have a 48-megapixel resolution. It will likely be used as an ultra-wide camera in future iPhones, while others will still be from Sony.
Samsung announced its most anticipated foldable phones on July 10 in Paris. Yesterday, Honor launched the new Magic V3, which challenges the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a thinner design and some cool specs. The new Honor foldable is considerably thin compared to the phones available.
Honor’s new Magic V3 measures 9.2mm (camera bump not included) in its folded state. It goes further slimmer to 4.35mm when you unfold its 7.92-inch main screen. Oops, there’s a clearly visible hole for the camera on the inner display, with Galaxy Z Fold 6 featuring UDC for years.
The Chinese vendor managed to make its new foldable slimmer with an upgraded hinge of 2.84mm thickness. It won’t break before 500,000 folds while the frame is made from 7-series aluminum alloy. It’s the most highlighting spec that makes it superior to its Samsung counterpart.

Galaxy Z Fold 6 packs a 4400mAh battery, but Honor’s Magic V3 has an edge here too. It boasts a 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both devices use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering robust performance and efficiency.
Honor Magic V3 comes with a 6.43-inch LTPO cover screen with FHD+ resolution. It’s also rated for 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports stylus input. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 also supports S Pen input but on the inner panel only with a special pen crafted by Samsung.
In terms of optics, the Magic V3 features a 50MP primary with OIS, a 50MP Periscope with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. The cover and main screens also house 20MP front-facing cameras. It lacks under-display camera technology which arrived 3rd time on a Samsung Fold.
