Samsung builds epic Photobooth to show the power of Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera
Samsung launched its new 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor, which comes with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The camera is quite powerful and delivers stunningly detailed photos. To showcase the power of Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera sensor, Samsung built an epic Photobooth.
To show exactly what this means, Samsung built the least advanced Photobooth in London’s Piccadilly Circus, using the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200-megapixel camera sensor. To help people to share their epic moments, the company took over the epic billboard in the town.
Instead of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung just used the camera sensor to capture photos of visitors in the Photobooth. When they left the Photobooth, they saw the massive photo of themselves displayed on one of the world’s most iconic billboards.
Further, when photos are zoomed in on a 45-meter by 18-meter billboard, it shows people the epic details of eyes, hair, and skin in 200-megapixel photos. It shows just the camera sensor produces such detailed photos, then how it can perform with a pro-grade processor and intelligent software system.
Watch the video to see how this happened:
Galaxy S23 Ultra Camera
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S23 Ultra is the best camera smartphone to date. It brings dual telephoto sensors for stunning zoom capabilities along with a 200-megapixel primary sensor for lossless photography experiences.
The company’s new ISOCELL HP2 camera is way too intelligent as it allows you to take pictures in three different resolutions including 12-megapixel, 50-megapixel, and full 200-megapixel.
200-megapixel camera
A 200-megapixel image sensor can deliver a 12-megapixel photo as a default setting, but it also lets users take absolutely massive 200-megapixel photos of approximately 16,000 pixels by 12,000 pixels.
Since a photo taken in these dimensions is about 16 times bigger than those taken in 12-megapixel, it will have far more details than images taken with other smartphone cameras.

Including Samsung, global IT and semiconductor companies such as Google, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm are participating. Companies participating in the RISE project, including Samsung, plan to jointly develop software based on RISC-V.
“We will participate in the RISE project and collaborate with other companies to build a sustainable RISC-V-based open source software ecosystem,” said Park Soo-hong, head of the Open Source Group at Samsung Research and a member of the Linux Foundation board of directors.
It is easy to implement applications or services, which operate on RISC-V-based chipsets, and resources required for development and maintenance can be reduced. It’s expected to be used in various fields such as mobile, home appliances, data centers, and vehicle applications.
Meanwhile, RISE operating board members include Samsung Electronics, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Red Hat, Mediatek, Andes, and Imae Thirteen companies including Imagination Rivos, SiFive, Ventana, T-Head are Samsung participating.

Let’s take a look at how Samsung Biometric Card IC can make card transactions PIN free and convenient, solving one of the world’s most pressing payment and identification problems. The video mentioned below gives you a high-level understanding of how it will change the way people pay in the future.
What the video below:
Samsung Biometric Card IC
An innovative payment card technology called a biometric card offers cardholders a secure and convenient way to authenticate themselves at the point of sale (POS) by using their fingerprint instead of a personal identification number (PIN) or signature.
Cardholders don’t need to enter a PIN for high-value transactions, making transactions faster and easier. An added layer of security reduces concerns about the card or PIN theft and increases confidence in using the card, especially when traveling because you don’t have to worry about fraudulent payments even if your card is stolen or lost.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S23 series brings some of the best camera smartphones out there. Following the launch, it was noticed that the non-Ultra models of Samsung Galaxy S23 have some issues, causing blurry close-up shots, which are now officially acknowledged.
What’s the issue?
Some Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus smartphone users noticed that the area around the subject looks a bit blurred when taking a close-up shot. The impact of this problem is limited to both low-end models of the lineup, while the Ultra remains issue-free.
What’s the reason?
Samsung disclosed through its community post that Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus use a 50-megapixel primary camera powered by AI features and machine learning. The blurry close-up problem causes due to the sensor’s bright aperture, which makes stunning Nitghtography possible.
Fix coming in the future!
Samsung not only explained the issue and shared the reason, but also confirmed that the blurry close-up shots problem on Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus is planned to improve (fix) in a future software update. However, when this software update will release, remains a question for now.
Workarounds
If you are experiencing this on your Samsung Galaxy S23 or S23+, there are a few solutions you can try:
- Try taking a picture from a bit further away; if the subject you are photographing is about 30 cm away, move back a hand’s width
- Try to take a photo holding the phone vertically; if you hold the phone horizontally or diagonally, the background may appear blurred.
Why S23 Ultra is unimpacted?
Galaxy S23 Ultra remains unimpacted from the blurry shot issue as its camera automatically switches to the wide-angle camera and activates the focus booster to prevent blur. But do note that the focus enhancer stops working in high-resolution image mode, possibly resulting in a blurry close-up.
