Samsung Galaxy S23 camera tips to take incredible food shots
It’s common for people to look for their best angles when taking a selfie. But it’s not just limited to the portraits as taking photos of food has become a common habit, especially if you share your routine on social media, and with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 camera, any dish will look impressive.
Samsung Galaxy smartphones already offer a native camera option to record all types of food: just go to the camera app, choose the “More” option, and then “Food”. You can capture the details of a good dish, a delicious ice cream on a sunny day, the bubbles in the glass of soda, or that hamburger at dinner.
Samsung Galaxy S23 camera tips to take incredible food shots:
Adjust focus to capture details
Galaxy S23 5G’s “Food” mode features automatic focus adjustment when you bring the camera closer to the subject. But it’s best to play around with this feature, zooming in or out to adjust the richness of the food’s detail. You can leave the object in question to the side and, by blurring the background, the food or drink will stand out even more in the photo.
Great photos in any lighting
You will realize that each restaurant, bar, or cafeteria usually offers its own lighting, which is hardly the same in all these environments. A more intimate restaurant has a darker, more reserved atmosphere, while a fast food chain may have brighter lights.
And if you’re in a dimly lit place, take advantage of the Galaxy S23 5G’s Nightography feature to capture detail and sharpness regardless of the light.
Combine food, drink and desserts
When it’s time to take photos, broaden your horizons and use the 200 MP lens to capture more than one item at a time, like glasses of drink next to a pretty plate of pasta at your favorite Italian restaurant.
If it is a dessert, such as ice cream with chocolate syrup, take the opportunity to place the ingredients near the main dish. Work the composition to create impressive photos that go viral on social networks.
It is part of the photos holding the food
That’s right, you can also go outside, regardless of the ambient light, thanks to the S23 5G’s front-facing cameras, which can also capture photos and videos with Nightography.
With these tips, it’s easy to make the most of the great photographic possibilities of Food Mode or take selfies with your Galaxy S23 5G. Savor not only your dish but also the result of your ability to photograph it with all the details.
Samsung’s latest OLED tech could debut in the Google Pixel 9 series. The next-gen Pixel flagships would outshine Samsung’s S24 Ultra in terms of display. It’s almost confirmed that the Google Pixel 9 series will use OLED based on the Samsung M14 material.
Featuring Samsung M14 OLED, Google Pixel 9 will become the best phones in terms of display quality. More upgrades like new camera sensors and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader could also be included in the upcoming smartphones.
A source inside Google (via AndroidAuthority) disclosed key details. M14 is Samsung’s latest OLED display technology, set to foster the Pixel 9 series. The new iteration offers better brightness and longevity, giving the Pixel 9 an edge over current flagships.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro lineup will also induct Samsung’s M14 OLED. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 series, released earlier this year, features the M13-based OLED. There are various advantages of the upgraded panel coming in Pixel 9.
Google’s Pixel 9 would get a 1,800-nit display, while the Pro and Pro XL screens could peak at up to 2,050-nit. It’s worth noting that the company lists HDR values for full-screen brightness, so localized peak brightness values will be even higher.
Samsung could introduce the Galaxy S25 series in January next year. The company’s next-gen flagships will likely feature the new OLED display tech. Meanwhile, its biggest rivals are utilizing the latest display technology in 2024 itself.
Google is gradually increasing its presence in the global smartphone market. The company is seriously expanding its mobile business. The next year’s Pixel phones would be equipped with 3nm processors manufactured by TSMC.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones come with Google Messages by default. The company has now revealed the reason behind this move on Galaxy devices. Samsung says Google Messages replaced Messages to foster RCS adoption.
According to AndroidAuthority, a source explained Samsung’s decision to switch to Google Messages as the default messaging app. The recently released Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 come with Google Messages with RCS enabled by default.
Looks like promoting Google Messages on Galaxy devices will boost RCS adoption. Samsung Messages isn’t already installed on newer phones. However, one’s stopping you from getting it on your Galaxy from the Galaxy Store.
While many apps support the RCS feature, Google Messages offer the best user experience. Making it a default messaging app is an effort to boost the adoption of RCS tech. Apple is also preparing to bring RCS chat functionality to iMessage for iPhones.
What Samsung source said:
- Even if messaging apps follow the RCS standard, the availability may be limited depending on which app the other party uses. That’s why we decided to make Google Messages the common messaging platform, allowing Galaxy users to communicate more freely. This also enables a messaging app to respond to changes of the RCS standard more quickly and efficiently.
Previously, Samsung devices launched in the US came with two messaging apps. This time, the company has removed the Samsung Messages. During the first setup, users are notified that Google Messages is the default messaging application.
