The Samsung Galaxy S23 series tends to improve by 25% in 8K video recording, which could increase Samsung’s advantage over competing phones such as the iPhone 14 Pro and Google Pixel 7 Pro.
technology guide ice world (Opens in a new tab) He claimed that the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will come with a 30fps recording mode for 8K video capture. This equates to a 25% increase over the 8K @ 24 fps offered by the Galaxy S22 range. Comparatively speaking, competing flagship phones tend to hit their peaks at 4K and 60fps.
But since 4K TVs have only recently become a standard home feature, and 8K sets are still expensive and impractical, one might be tempted to say, “So what?”
Well, that would be a fair reaction, as being somewhat able to record 8K footage on a smartphone is a spec to brag about more than anything practical. And while the likes of the iPhone 14 Pro Max stick with 4K video, we’ve found that it and its predecessors tend to offer much better video recording — in terms of color, clarity, and quality — than each of the best. Android phones.
Samsung Galaxy S23 can drive 8K video graphics
Dig a little deeper and there is more than meets the eye to this rumor. First, the iPhone 14 Pro was expected to have an 8K video mode, which indicates that Apple may have some interest in this area. But this never happened.
Comparatively speaking, Samsung has recorded 8K video recording for several generations of Galaxy S series phones. This means in resolution that it has an advantage over Apple phones and arguably provides a safer recording option for the future for a period when 8K TVs have proliferated.
Rendering HD video is also good for some creators who want to get as detailed footage as possible and can then downsize to 4K or even 1080p, but have more room to play with things while editing; HD video basically means more data per click. One might argue that such creators would use a dedicated camera. But sometimes your best camera is the one you have at the time, and more often than not it’s a smartphone.
Now if the Galaxy S23 range gets the option to record video at 30fps in 8K, it enhances the flexibility of recording at that resolution. Some YouTubers like MKBHD describe 30fps as the best frame rate for video; It seems to provide a smoother experience than recording at 24fps but avoids the possible “soap soap opera” effect of recording at 60fps.
So, boosting 8K video recording could make the Galaxy S23 range the phones of choice for serious content creators. Even so, I’d like to see Samsung improve some of its video processing so the end results can compete with Apple’s video.
This could also be a well-suited feature for the Galaxy S23 range, which is aimed at power users. But then again, I suspect it’s power users who will be drawn to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, especially since it touts a 200MP camera, which should provide sharper, more detailed photos.
For the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus, recording video at 8k at 30fps might be overkill. But it’s always nice to have a choice.
As for other Galaxy S23 upgrades, rumors have the smaller Galaxy S23 phones getting a design reminiscent of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. While on the specs side, the major upgrade will be a new chip in the form of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is set to get the new chip and the aforementioned 200MP camera. But don’t expect any drastic design changes or huge hardware upgrades on the rest of the cameras; Although the brighter screen looks promising.
We expect to see the Galaxy S23 unveiled in early February, with the phones launching shortly after. What will be interesting is to see what Samsung can bring to the table on the software side in order to keep the S-series phones near the top of our best phones list.
