Twitter strikes on Samsung advertising Galaxy S23 Ultra ‘digitally fake Moon’

Samsung continues to promote the camera capabilities of the Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone, through social media campaigns. In a recent development, Community Notes feature of Twitter slapped a disclaimer on Samsung ad displaying the Moon zoom of Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The strongest zoom camera is the key selling point of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, which Samsung never wants to leave anywhere. However, reports raised by a large number of consumers lead the company to remember the controversy which is silenced with an official statement.

Here’s what the ad says:

There’s no dark side of the moon with the #GalaxyS23 Ultra. Capture your night skies and share with us by replying to this thread with #ShareTheEpic.

Samsung was caught up in controversy earlier this year when a convincing test had many folks calling the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s ability to take pictures of the moon “fake.” While that’s not quite the case, Samsung hasn’t really been able to escape that idea, with a new ad campaign for the Galaxy S23 Ultra on Twitter being slapped with a disclaimer.

As spotted by 9to5Google, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Moon shot faced a disclaimer. The disclaimer came from Twitter’s “Community Notes” service that is used to display context to tweets as reported by a majority of users. Everything led Samsung to get a disclaimer on its paid Twitter ad.

Samsung phones digitally “fake” images of the Moon to make them appear sharper.

Amid “fake” Moon controversy, Samsung shared an explanation of the AI-powered Moon photo detection system it has used since the Galaxy S21. The company also revealed that users can take a natural shot of the Moon by turning off the Scene Optimizer feature.

“Samsung continues to improve Scene Optimizer to reduce any potential confusion that may occur between the act of taking a picture of the real moon and an image of the moon.” Said Samsung.
