Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 200MP photos may not eat storage like others!
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a monstrous 200MP sensor as the primary camera. It’s not going to be the first with 200MP lens, as a handful of vendors introduced Samsung’s HP3 or HPX image sensors. Well, even with a 200MP camera, you won’t need to worry about storage on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
According to Samsung source IceUniverse, the photos captured by Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are not too large in size, even captured by a 200MP camera. The source further pointed out that regular day scene images occupy storage between 20MB to 40MB, which is arguably less than others we’ve seen so far.

As shown in the photo details screenshots, the alleged images captured by the 200MP camera of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra occupied storage of 20.98MB and 37.06MB. Moreover, the evidence also revealed the pictures have a resolution of 12240 x 16320 pixels.

Since the image size differs by the scene and feature used while capturing it initially, Ice noted that the 200MP shots captured in daily scenes occupy 20MB to 40MB storage. In other smartphones using 200MP camera, it has been reported that the image weighs about 70MB to 100MB in regular shots.
Thanks One UI
More megapixels mean more details and crispy images! However, such high megapixel makes the shot quite weighty, but, Samsung may have greatly lessened it with better software optimization. The company has also brought a 50MP camera mode, which lets you shoot in 50MP with the 200MP sensor.
Samsung Galaxy S23 series runs the new One UI 5.1 software, based on Android 13. Aside from this kind of meaningful optimization, the new One UI iteration reportedly brings new camera features such as AstroHyperlapse and astrophotography to front camera and video recording.
Samsung Galaxy S25 will launch in early 2025 with new specifications including an improved display, new display, optimized battery life, new software features, and more. This standard Galaxy S25 offers different capabilities including the following.

Samsung Galaxy S25 CAD Render (Source – Androidheadlines)
Disclaimer: These Samsung Galaxy S25 specifications are gathered from leaks, rumors, and previous flagships. However, none of these cannot be confirmed as 100% accurate.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Price
Samsung Galaxy S25 5G should start at $800 in the United States. The price leaks and rumors aren’t out yet. However, the industry speculates a slight increase due to Qualcomm’s pricey 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Release Date
The Galaxy S25 series could be announced early next year. The company officially confirmed at its earnings call that the new Galaxy S will be released in the second half. You can expect the new flagships to be available by February 2025.
Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy leak reveals the nearly final design of Samsung’s next big flagship. After CAD renders, we now have a closer look at the refined new design of the Ultra flagship, which will give sleepless nights to Apple.
Onleaks posted a set of Galaxy S25 Ultra dummy models. The flagship can be seen with its refined design, which makes the corner slightly rounded. The Z Fold6-inspired camera rings also elevate the rear panel’s appearance, making it appealing.
There are three major changes in the body design of Samsung’s next Ultra flagship. The first is the frame, which is getting flatter like the iPhone. Second is rounded corners, that are not that rounded like S24/S25, and third is textured camera rings.
Notably, the dummy units don’t show a close look at the bezels. However, this aspect is expected to be improved over the previous generations. Minimal symmetrical bezels will present an appealing look on the phone’s front side.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is slimmer than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The S Pen compartment resists on the frame’s bottom, accompanied by the primary microphone, USB C-Type port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray.
The right side of the frame features volume adjustment buttons and a side key. The power button can be configured to trigger a digital assistant. The fingerprint scanner will be featured as an in-screen solution with faster and more reliable recognition.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S25 series in late January next year.
A new patent suggests Samsung working on next-gen camera tech that could save battery and crush lens process noise. The company has recently unveiled the All Lenses on Prism telephoto solution for thinner and sleeker zoom cameras.
Since smartphone camera modules get more advanced, a lot of processing power is required to finish the tasks. That said, Samsung is crafting even more advanced camera modules that save battery and reduce noise.
Enter Samsung’s new patent, which introduces a power-saving sub-processor. This clever little chip would handle all the extra camera tasks—like reducing noise from the OIS lens movements and managing the EIS algorithms.
It will reduce the burden of the main processor so it can focus on the actual photo-taking. At the time your device is in a sleep or power-saving state, the sub-processor keeps running quietly in the background, consuming minimal power.
If the technology is used, you will have less noise in camera operations, smoother performance, and better battery life. At the same time, you won’t lose your favorite camera features, but your smartphone will last longer between charges.
A look ahead
The development shows Samsung’s innovative approach. Other than upgrading camera sensors, the company is also working on improvements to the technology that works behind the scenes and makes a great impact on performance and efficiency.
Samsung often registers new patent applications to secure designs and innovations. However, it’s uncertain that a patented technology would surely be commercialized. Tech firms have thousands of approved patents that never get produced.
