Samsung incredibly improved Nightography on Galaxy S23
Samsung first introduced the Nightography feature with the Galaxy S22 series. It allows users to take vibrant shots in nighttime and low-light conditions. And naturally, the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 brings meaningful improvements in the Nightography feature.

Courtesy of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy’s improved CPU and NPU performance, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series’ Nightography shoots and processes images faster than the predecessor. Moreover, the One UI 5.1 includes algorithm and code changes for further enhancements.
While comparing the Nightography feature, the expected shooting time display on S23’s screen against the S22, you can see that the shooting time is significantly shorter and the image gets processed faster. Also, you can see that the shooting is faster even in photo mode.
Not only the main camera, but even when taking pictures of night scenes with ultra-wide lenses and telephoto lenses using the zoom function, they are quickly captured and processed, and the range of Nightography coverage has been expanded.
Improved noise/brightness
Usually, darker conditions result in more noise that results in less uniformity of the input data through the camera sensor. In the latest Galaxy S23, brightness in extremely low light conditions has been improved based on detail improvement and reduction processing for noise that hinders brightness enhancement.
- The uniformity of sensor input data is improved by referencing neighboring pixels through an algorithm of multi-frame processing.
- By improving the training technique of AIISP, the ability to reduce noise while maintaining detail has been improved.
Based on this noise reduction ability and detail improvement, brightness and contrast were improved by increasing the exposure of the sensor input and adjusting the tone algorithm. These minor technical improvements deliver a better overall photography experience on your Galaxy S23.
Samsung takes Galaxy’s software support quite seriously. The company is continuously enhancing its software department and cementing its lead in after-sales support. Android 14-based One UI 6 is coming later this year as the last major update for several Samsung devices.
As Android 14 is yet to officially land on Samsung devices, we’ve compiled a list of handsets, which will have to spend their remaining time on the One UI 6. As the company’s software policy is pretty clear, there’s no confusion on models’ eligibility for updates.

Galaxy S21 was eligible for major updates up to Android 14, while Samsung promised additional OS support. This means, the upcoming Android 14 will not be the last OS upgrade for the lineup, and the same applies to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
The S21 FE launched with Android 12 out of the box, while 2022’s revised policy makes it eligible for updates up to Android 16. All flagships launched after the S21 line are eligible for 4 OS, while several Galaxy A, M, and F series phones will have to stick with Android 14.
Galaxy A series phones that are eligible for 3 OS will end up getting major upgrades post-Android 14 release. Meanwhile, several mid-range and budget phones from Galaxy M and Galaxy F lineups are supported by just two major upgrades.
Android 14-based One UI 6 will be the last major update for these Samsung devices:
- Galaxy A72
- Galaxy A52 (A52 5G, A52s)
- Galaxy A23
- Galaxy A13
- Galaxy M53 5G
- Galaxy M33 5G
- Galaxy M23
- Galaxy M13
- Galaxy F23
- Galaxy F13
One UI 6 will radically turn your Samsung Galaxy phone’s user interface. The new software’s Beta testing was started in August, with Stable rollout expected this month. There are a lot of eligible Samsung Galaxy devices, so let’s see an expected official release of the One UI 6 update.
Samsung is actively running the One UI 6 Beta Program for Galaxy devices. Earlier, the company announced the Beta activity for the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S21 series. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23 series has received a total of 5 major One UI 6 Beta, signaling the official release is near.

This year’s Samsung Developers Conference taking place in the first week of October. For reference, the SDC22 was held in the last week of October 2022, with the rollout started in November. Thanks to Samsung’s early SDC23 event, flagship Galaxy devices may get the Stable update earlier than last year.
Galaxy devices that are in Beta stage are most likely to get upgraded to Stable One UI 6, based on Android 14, by October 2023. This includes the popular foldables, flagship tablet lineups, Galaxy S23/S22/S21 series and the best mid-rangers i.e. Galaxy A54/A34.
