Samsung recently unveiled the primary camera to be used in S23 Ultra, the new 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor. It comes with an aperture of f/1.7 and has support for OIS. Samsung hasn’t upgraded the secondary cameras; it still has one ultra-wide camera and two telephoto lenses.
The ultra-wide camera is one with a 12MP sensor which has a field of view of 120°. One of the two 10MP telephoto cameras has a zooming of 2X, which also supports OIS. The other is a periscope. camera with a zoom range of 10X, it can go upto 100X with digital zoom, which Samsung calls Space Zoom. It also supports OIS. The front camera has now been changed to a 12MP one; S22 Ultra had a 40MP selfie camera. But it supports autofocus like its predecessor.
Coming to the video capture capabilities, S23 Ultra will be able to record 8K videos at 30 fps and 4K videos at 60 fps.
