That is my biggest gripe with Samsung phones. The hardware is top notch but even so I end up with crappy photos.
I used to have issues with animation stutters before oneUI 5 but afterwards it is pretty smooth? I have an s22 plus and the UI is pretty fluid. It doesn't compare as well to my Pixel but it is at least smooth now. Samsung has so many Android devices I think it makes it hard for to focus on optimization. Hopefully they will do better this year.
What if your dog is moving when you take the pic?
I will take one today and see, ill then compare it to my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I did try and upload a picture of our dog, but the image was too large to upload
The prices are indeed painful. I’m really hoping the s23 Ultra will not give me blurry or noisy low light cat and people photos anymore. But it’s not a deal killer since my 14 Pro Max does all right for that. I use a Samsung to get good zoomed photos. Both phones do great with bright outdoor photos.Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra prices for Europe leak, get ready to pay more
The phones will be more expensive than their predecessors. Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra may keep the same prices as...m.gsmarena.com
Ouch. While I’d really like to get an SD unit to replace my Exynos S22+, it’ll take some sweet preorder deals for me to pull the trigger with those prices.
I'm thinking the white one, or if there is a nice red one as part of Samsungs exclusive colours online. It will depend on prices here in the UK and Samsungs trade in deals.
I read conjecture that the exclusive colors would require a wait of a few weeks. I've been shunted to weeks long waits for regular Samsung offerings before, so I'm not sure I want to go that route even for an exceptionally attractive color like red.
To be honest I am a little disappointed by the color options. I think the hues of the colors they chose are just kind of washed out and boring. No blue. And the lilac is not my favorite shade of purple.
Lilac looks so pink in most lights so I can see why purple fans wouldn’t care for it. Blue is a rumored exclusive color. Keep your fingers crossed!
A nice blue colour would be awesome, so would a proper red (not the one from last years ultra online exclusive).
The other thing that kind of bothers me is 8gb ram on a $1200 phone. We will see how much it costs to upgrade to 512gb but it is seeming like the ultra might still be out of reach for my budget depending of course on trade in value. If Samsung does us a solid and gives higher than resale value on trade in then I will be happy but I am disappointed the plus didn't at least get a higher resolution screen.
The S23 Plus is a good looking phone. I think it's a bit of a comedown from past S series phones because of the display, though. I don't know why they stopped using the WQHD+ displays for the regular S series phones. They have a budget series after all, and the S series isn't it.
The sad fact of my life that I realized last night, after looking at crappy quality home movies I shot on old Kodak cameras and my earlier iPhones, is that now that I can shoot amazing quality videos, the people in my life that I would want to be the subjects are largely unavailable. And I swear it all happened so fast. I keep buying new tech like I've still got small kids. When I joined this forum the kids actually were still in elementary school.
I took a couple of pics of our dog, unfortunately she didn't want to move at the time 🤣 I've tried uploading at I get a message saying the file is too big. I've compressed the file tho, so I hope that helps.
Yeah my battery life was actually rather alarming for a long time, but I do better now. However, I made a focused effort to drastically reduce screen time for the sake of my health and I switch between other devices. If this were my only phone and I were using it like before, I would probably still be frustrated with the battery life, even though I can see that some optimization has taken place.
