Better bokeh effect on Galaxy S23 Ultra
The tipster “IceUniverse”, which is considered reliable, has about the Chinese social network Sina Weibo have announced some more information about the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and its camera functions. According to him, Samsung will upgrade the portrait video mode from last year’s 1080p Galaxy S22 up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, finally matching the 4K resolution of the iPhone 14 in cinema mode.
The source also notes that the South Korean company has improved the separation between foreground and background, or the degree of blurring when shooting. It is quite possible that these changes apply not only to the blur effect, but also to other effects.
Unfortunately, it was not clear whether the Galaxy S23 and S23Plus get the same upgrade as the Ultra is the only model that comes with a new 200 MP main sensor is equipped. But since the Galaxy S22 had similar camera capabilities to the Galaxy S22 Ultra with a larger main sensor, it’s quite likely that the entire Galaxy S23 lineup will benefit from 4K portrait videos.
