Camera leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra continue, with 4K video clips being the latest samples.
The video embedded here is from the YouTube channel (opens in new tab) of Edwards Urbina (opens in new tab), a Nicaraguan man who was one of the first to get a Galaxy S23 Ultra and has been posting camera samples for the past few days. Note, however, that Urbina regularly deletes posts (presumably to avoid Samsung's wrath), so if these videos no longer exist, that's why.
The first video, of a monkey and his child climbing along a power line, appears to be zoomed in quite a bit, but is quite sharp; thanks to the 60 frames per second capture speed, it is indeed smooth.
This image of the shallow river and the trees below are similar, but neither appears to be zoomed in.
All three videos were recorded in 4K at 60fps, something the Galaxy S22 Ultra is already capable of. However, the S23 Ultra is rumored to support 8K at 30 fps, which would further raise it from the S22 Ultra's 24 fps limit.
These clips were likely shot with the new camera sensor, even if they were shot at the same resolution and frame rate. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's major upgrade is claimed to be a 200MP main camera sensor.
Unfortunately, we cannot compare these videos side-by-side as Urbina did in a previous leak. We are curious to see how Samsung's latest device compares to its biggest Android rival, the Google Pixel 7 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which currently tops our best camera phone rankings.
Hopefully, we will have a proper comparison after Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1. This is the date when the Galaxy S23 series, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra, is strongly suggested to be announced. There is no doubt that Samsung will announce new camera technology in a big way, but it will also be interesting to see if the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and rumored price changes are true.
