Samsung incredibly improved Nightography on Galaxy S23

Samsung first introduced the Nightography feature with the Galaxy S22 series. It allows users to take vibrant shots in nighttime and low-light conditions. And naturally, the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 brings meaningful improvements in the Nightography feature.

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.

1. The uniformity of sensor input data is improved by referencing neighboring pixels through an algorithm of multi-frame processing.
2. 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.
