A selection of leaked Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera samples are a real
mixed bag.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youre looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra , then youre
probably at least in part excited by the potential of its cameras, as this is one of the main ways in which its likely to rise above the rest of the
Samsung Galaxy S23 series. Well, we now have more of an idea of what the cameras might be capable of, thanks to some new leaked photos, supposedly taken using them.

These come from Twitter user Edwards Urbina (via Phone Arena ) and they arent the first Galaxy S23 Ultra camera samples this person has shared . But this time, we see a wider selection of scenes.

Among the most impressive shots are some atmospheric street scenes, shot at night though its unclear how much light was available, so we cant be certain exactly what the phone had to work with. llego la noche para mi movil. $XXIII@clipset @isa_marcial @MARCIANOPHONE @TecnonautaTV @TopesdGama pic.twitter.com/MWoN3iNKy6 January 25, 2023 See more

Still, the resulting shots are quite detailed and pleasing to the eye and thats despite the compression theyll have gone through by being posted on Twitter.

That compression means you shouldnt read too much into any of these images,
as theyll look better elsewhere.

But not all of the shots impress quite as much. Urbina also shared an image
of the moon, which is... fine, but doesnt really appear any better than similar moon shots that other high-end phones can take. MOON X30 #23S pic.twitter.com/FJWDBLQ0VS January 25, 2023 See more

Thats a slight disappointment given that Samsung recently hyped moon shots specifically in a teaser.

There are also some shots at 10x and 30x zoom, with the 10x ones looking
good, as youd expect, given that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra probably has a 10x optical zoom lens. The 30x shots will be using a digital zoom, and theyre more of a mixed bag.

Theres one of a tree that looks fairly good, considering its digital its not pin-sharp but theres a reasonable amount of detail there. Then theres one of
a monkey that looks rather worse, with the camera clearly struggling to
focus. Image 1 of 2 A 10x zoom shot (left) and a 30x zoom shot (right) (Image credit: Edwards Urbina) Image 2 of 2 A 10x zoom shot (left) and a 30x zoom shot (right) (Image credit: Edwards Urbina)

There are other camera samples too you can check their Twitter feed for
more, weve just picked out some of the most interesting ones. Analysis: mixed results

Ultimately, the results are a bit hit and miss but seem broadly promising,
and when you factor in Twitters compression, potential user error, and the possibility of tweaks to the camera performance by the time the Samsung
Galaxy S23 Ultra launches, theres every chance it will be one of the very
best camera phones .

Currently, we rank the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra as the best, and with a new 200MP sensor almost certainly being included here, wed expect some improvements. Though, of course, more megapixels doesnt always mean better performance, so youll have to wait for our full Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review to know for sure.
