Courtesy of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy’s improved CPU and NPU performance, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series’ Nightography shoots and processes images faster than the predecessor. Moreover, the One UI 5.1 includes algorithm and code changes for further enhancements.
While comparing the Nightography feature, the expected shooting time display on S23’s screen against the S22, you can see that the shooting time is significantly shorter and the image gets processed faster. Also, you can see that the shooting is faster even in photo mode.
Not only the main camera, but even when taking pictures of night scenes with ultra-wide lenses and telephoto lenses using the zoom function, they are quickly captured and processed, and the range of Nightography coverage has been expanded.
Improved noise/brightness
Usually, darker conditions result in more noise that results in less uniformity of the input data through the camera sensor. In the latest Galaxy S23, brightness in extremely low light conditions has been improved based on detail improvement and reduction processing for noise that hinders brightness enhancement.
- The uniformity of sensor input data is improved by referencing neighboring pixels through an algorithm of multi-frame processing.
- By improving the training technique of AIISP, the ability to reduce noise while maintaining detail has been improved.
Based on this noise reduction ability and detail improvement, brightness and contrast were improved by increasing the exposure of the sensor input and adjusting the tone algorithm. These minor technical improvements deliver a better overall photography experience on your Galaxy S23.

Pictures of the aluminum dummy of Galaxy S25 Ultra have been revealed. Samsung is expected to launch its new flagship phones in January next year. The latest leak gives us a closer look at the expected design.
David from @xleaks7 leaked aluminum dummy images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The dummy unit showcases that Samsung will feature its signature design in future flagships. The backplate remains the same, but the corners are getting refined further.
The dummy shows S25 Ultra could have five circular cutouts for the camera setup. The front side has thin symmetrical bezels, while the Infinity-O display exists. The earpiece area is also visible above the punch-hole camera cutout.
The dummy unit measures 162.82 x 77.65 x 8.25 mm, aligning with the CAD renders revealed earlier. This means the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be slightly taller, narrower, and thinner than this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The camera design remains the same but the ultrawide sensor is upgraded. The S25 Ultra is rumored to come with a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The 3x Telephoto and 5x Periscope sensors could be replicated from the S24 Ultra.
Galaxy S25 Ultra will run Android 15-based One UI 7.1 out of the box. Samsung is said to be working on improving system animation and fluency. It will include additional features and enhancements over the Android 15-based One UI 7.
