Night Photography With Samsung Galaxy S23+

Although the Samsung Galaxy S23+ is part of Samsung’s Galaxy S flagship smartphone, it has been overshadowed by the immense popularity of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, leaving the Galaxy S23 and S23+ out of the media limelight. Nonetheless, recently I have had the opportunity to spend some time with the Galaxy S23+ during my visit to the LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre.

Samsung Galaxy S23+ Camera System

The camera system on the Samsung Galaxy S23+ has received quite a number of upgrades from its predecessor to deliver exceptional performance in all lighting conditions. The primary lens on the back is a 50-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, which means it can capture a lot of light and produce sharp, detailed images even in low light conditions. The ultrawide lens is a 12-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, which is great for capturing landscapes and large group shots. The telephoto lens is a 10-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 aperture, which provides 3x optical zoom.

The Samsung Galaxy S23+ also comes with advanced camera features, including 8K 30 frames per second video recording. The phone can also capture 4K video at 60 frames per second, which is perfect for those planning to use the device as a video camera for YouTube production. The camera system also comes with a range of shooting modes, including support for Expert RAW, which allows you to fully utilize the sensor’s capabilities to capture a RAW image for better photo editing in applications such as Adobe Lightroom.

Galaxy S23+ Night Photography

In terms of image quality, the Samsung Galaxy S23+ delivers excellent results. The camera system is capable of producing sharp, detailed images with accurate colours and good dynamic range. This is due to the use of a 50-megapixel sensor and pixel-binning technology that combines four adjacent pixels to form a single pixel of the final photo.

As such, the phone is capable of producing sharp-looking images without overloading the storage. Pixel-binning will also reduce the digital noise caused by high sensor ISO during nighttime shots.

Thanks to computational photography, the images have a natural look, and the camera app does a good job of balancing shadows and highlights.

At this point, some might question the capabilities of the ultrawide camera. I’m glad you asked, the ultrawide lens is impressive, providing a wide field of view without minimal distortion. Even the white balance and colour reproduction have been kept consistent throughout the three cameras.

Excellent details from the primary camera.

The telephoto lens on the Samsung Galaxy S23+ is also a standout feature. The 3x optical zoom provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to framing your shots, and the results are sharp and detailed. The camera app will intelligently switch between the use of a primary camera or the telephoto camera to achieve the best result depending on the available light. The digital zoom works well up to around 10x, but beyond that, the image quality starts to degrade. Generally, I wouldn’t suggest you use digital zoom if possible.

Besides, the controls on the camera app are extremely responsive and snappy. This is very apparent when compared with some other camera apps that might feel sluggish, especially during low-light conditions. This shows the importance of high-performance SoC and camera sensor to achieve a silky smooth camera app user experience.

While the Galaxy S23 Ultra has the most impressive camera system, we shall never forget the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S23+ is also a worthy competitor when it comes to camera and photo quality. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S23+ has an impressive camera system that delivers excellent results. The phone is capable of capturing sharp, detailed images with accurate colours and good dynamic range.

If you’re looking for a smartphone with an excellent camera system, the Samsung Galaxy S23+ is definitely worth considering. The phone delivers exceptional performance in all lighting conditions and comes with a range of advanced features to help you capture the perfect shot.
