Samsung Newsroom sat down with the developers of Ray Tracing, recently introduced to the Galaxy S23 series, to understand the story behind how the team upgraded the mobile gaming experience. Read on to learn more about one of the biggest leaps in smartphone gaming graphics in years.

Ray Tracing: Level Up Your Gaming Experience With True-to-Life Graphics

Ray Tracing is the latest rendering method that manifests graphic effects in real time by tracing rays of light. The Galaxy S23 series’ GPU is equipped with special-purpose hardware to accelerate these ray tracing simulations similar to a desktop GPU, displaying shadows and light reflections in mobile games in a much more realistic manner.

System Platform Development Group’s Jungwoo Kim, who managed the GPU development for the Galaxy S23 series, described Ray Tracing technology as “the ultimate graphic rendering method.”

“Ray Tracing is a complex simulation that traces how the optic nerve of an eye receives a ray of light after being reflected, refracted or diffracted by an object,” said Kim. “It’s very similar to how light is actually processed.”

“The previous rasterization technique is limited, resulting in awkward and inaccurate expressions,” said Joonyong Park, who managed GPU technical support and both internal and external cooperation for this new product. “When it comes to the shadow effect, for instance, the previous method used to project an object on a scene to create a shadow map in advance and adjust that on the object again. On the other hand, Ray Tracing simulates the actual effect of how shadows are formed, which appears accurately and realistically onscreen — so users can enjoy more natural-looking graphics.”

Bridging the Gap Between Desktop and Mobile Graphics With the Galaxy S23 Series

Since 2010, Samsung has focused on breaking down the barriers between console, desktop and mobile by expanding the performance and range of its graphics API (application programming interface). By partnering with major industry players, Samsung has led the way in standardizing its latest technology as the common API. In doing so, more companies can easily apply the latest technology to more games and expand their relevant ecosystems.

“In 2016, we standardized the next-generation graphics API called Vulkan released by the Khronos Group and succeeded in commercialization through the Galaxy S7,” said Kim. “But, we’ve been working on advanced GPU development with partners like Epic Games and Unity to optimize the performance of Android games since 2015, before Vulkan was integrated into Galaxy devices. The optimization code we acquired by working together was provided to game developers first and made the successful case for Vulkan and engine optimization. The achievement was presented at various developer conferences.”

In line with the recent rising trends in cross-platform games, Samsung rapidly applied desktop GPU technology to their mobile GPU. “With close cooperation with the AP vendors, we’ve continued to improve the performance of the latest mobile GPU for flagship products,” said Park. “With the rise in consumers demanding that the graphic quality on their mobile devices matches the quality of consoles, we’ve been preparing to offer Ray Tracing technology in mobile game engines since two years ago,” he said, describing his team’s proactive effort to lead this mobile innovation.

Multi-Player Collaboration Driving Mobile Performance

The developers cooperated with Samsung R&D Institute Ukraine (SRUKR) and various partner companies, including Epic Games, the developer of Unreal Engine, to prepare the best graphics.

▲ Galaxy Unpacked 2023 demo content was created in partnership with Epic Games. Compared to the previous rasterization rendering method (right), the Ray Tracing method (left) simulates more realistic graphics.

Kim explained that the demo contents introduced at the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 were a team effort. “This is an area that we’ve been working on in collaboration with a game engine developer and game developers,” said Kim. “We kept making various attempts for efficient rendering. As a result, we were able to overcome challenges by reducing the number of computations while maintaining the same level of quality.”

Park also shared an episode from when he was working on the Galaxy S7 product development.

“I remember developing a content demonstration at the Epic Games head office in North Carolina in the U.S.,” said Park. “We successfully rendered a demo game where a chicken character appeared using the Vulkan API for the first time. As soon as the chicken character appeared for the first time after fixing an error, everyone from Epic Games, SRUKR and colleagues from MX R&D team all cheered. Then, we all celebrated with a dinner party, where we all ate fried chicken.” Park thanked his colleagues with whom he had worked so hard to achieve this feat.

Galaxy S23 Series Opens a New Paradigm for Mobile Gaming

So what does the future look like in which Ray Tracing technology is commercialized? “From now on, I expect the pipeline of creating and consuming graphic content to change in a way that is aligned with Ray Tracing,” said Park. “In this process, we expect that mobile devices with both portability and high-performance hardware on par with consoles will contribute to the changes.”

▲ Ray Tracing technology on the Galaxy S23

“You can certainly expect an eye-catching gaming experience,” said the developers of Ray Tracing, speaking to the fans looking forward to the new Galaxy flagship’s gaming performance. The developers also shared their plans to use this technology widely, starting with the Galaxy S23 series.

“Ray Tracing technology is now only starting to go mobile. Since Samsung has been researching and preparing this technology for a long time, our company will lead the industry and quickly expand this technology,” said Kim. “Our next goal is to find the optimal method to apply Ray Tracing in many mobile devices and provide a great gaming experience to the users.”

“The mobile games that support Ray Tracing aren’t available in the market yet, but if there’s a game company that shows an interest in new mobile GPU technology, it will be more than welcome,” said Park. When asked about the future of mobile gaming performance, Park replied that they were “working very hard to apply Ray Tracing technology to more mobile games.”

The developers’ long-term vision is to present even more immersive mobile gaming experiences with realistic graphics in the future.

Essential Design, an approach that sees the refinement of a product’s design down to its most fundamental elements, serves as the basic design principle for all of Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy products. The Galaxy Book3 series, Samsung’s latest flagship PC lineup, carries on this legacy of Essential Design.

The Galaxy Book3 series sees the simplified use of materials for product design and focuses only on the essentials. The series’ design may be minimal, but its usability and performance has improved drastically.

Refined Design Led by Flat Lines

The Galaxy Book3 series’ flat design follows the principles of Essential Design, resulting in a unique look for the series. Refined straight lines and minimal surface finishing on the devices’ front captures the distinct design identity of the Galaxy Book series. The whole body of Galaxy Book3 is built using a singular aluminum material for further uniformity and an unwavering design.

A Seamless Screen for Visual Stability

The minimalistic design approach applied to the Galaxy Book3 series’ surface continues on with the products’ screen, too. The entire surface of the screen, including the bezel, consists of a singular glass plane for a refreshingly clean impression.¹ Along with a minimized bezel, the camera and sensors are also hidden underneath the glass to allow users to focus wholly on the screen.

Furthermore, the display’s corners are rounded in a manner similar to Samsung Galaxy’s smartphone and tablet devices for further visual stability and continuity.

Enhanced Usability

The Galaxy Book3 series’ design is filled with elements that enhance not only the external design quality of the product, but also its usability.

One of the biggest changes made when designing the Galaxy Book3 series was the change of display ratio from 16:9 to 16:10. While a 16:9 display ratio is suitable for media consumption, the 16:10 ratio is much better suited for productivity, such as document or video editing tasks.

The change in display ratio results in a larger screen, which in turn enlarges the palm rest beneath the keyboard to give ample space for a bigger touchpad, and while a slim PC profile can sometimes result in reduced port support, the Galaxy Book3 series features a full set of ports while maintaining its slimness.

Precisely-Engineered Details

While users rarely find themselves looking at the underside of their laptop, every part of the Galaxy Book3 series has been meticulously designed including those parts that generally remain unseen. Several device components, including the speaker, antenna, air vent and rubber foot, have been placed on the laptop’s rear side. For instance, in order to mitigate the issue of interference that can occur when an antenna is fitted using metal materials, plastic parts have been applied to its fitting.

As the use of different materials for different parts can result in a shift in overall design consistency, the Galaxy Book3 series’ designers found a way to avoid this by combining the speaker hole and antenna cover into a single slot. While it may look like any usual speaker hole, it also serves as an antenna, an innovation that is a testament to the level of detail put in during the Galaxy Book3 series’ design in order to keep it as unified as possible while elevating the overall design quality.

Authentic Materials

The Galaxy Book3 series’ designers conducted a search for materials that would emphasize the product’s minimalistic form, a search that included extensive research in order to land on right color and texture necessary to truly follow the principle of Essential Design.

The designers also conducted comprehensive research into achieving the ideal texture and glossiness of the products’ metallic surface and by choosing colors that worked well with this texture, their Color, Material & Finishing (CMF) was complete.

The Galaxy Book3 series features a full aluminum body, reflecting users’ needs for a laptop that is not only highly portable but also sturdy enough to maintain its form even after lengthy use.

Shades of Nature

Laptops are products with long lifespans, so when designing the Galaxy Book3 series, Samsung understood that it was important to instill the series with a quality appearance able to stand the test of time. Accordingly, the neutral color swatches of Graphite and Beige convey the premium look of metal while also giving off a warmer energy able to resonate with users.

Beige, a new color addition to the Galaxy Book3 series, embodies both the strength and solidity of metal while also carrying the warmth that comes from its unique tone of color, all of which comes together to imbue the Galaxy Book3 series with a distinct and premium look.

The new Galaxy Book3 series is available in a selection of models including Galaxy Book3 Pro, Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 with S-Pen and the all-new, high-performing Galaxy Book3 Ultra. Users can find the ideal Galaxy Book3 product for them based on their particular needs, environment and preference.

From video editing, gaming and idea sketching to document proofing, studying and more, the Galaxy Book3 series has been designed to be the perfect companion for you to explore your potential with.

Stay tuned to Samsung Newsroom to learn more about all-new Galaxy Book3 series.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with some of the Galaxy S23 series’ designers to learn more about how the new flagship range’s distinct design came about.

Premium Design With an Eco-Conscious Focus

Q. Please introduce the Galaxy S23 series’ design theme, “Create the Essentials”.

Our focus was on creating a design that boils down the essence of the smartphone. Resources can be wasted during the production process if too many unnecessary details are incorporated, so we made the decision to retain only the bare essential design features, based on the true identity of the device, for the basis of the Galaxy S23 series’ design.

Q. How is this theme in alignment with the general direction of the Samsung Galaxy design approach?

The Samsung Galaxy S series is a product lineup built on the true essence of what premium design can be. For the Galaxy S23 series, we deliberated extensively on what elements would not only make for a great design, but also how they would impact the world at large. Since we are living in a time where resource circulation and eco-conscious activities are at the forefront of daily life, we feel, too, that designers should reflect these values in their designs as the world over shifts its priorities towards eco-consciousness. Our design approach actively incorporates these ideas by making bold design decisions and incorporating future-forward ideas.

Q. What are the Galaxy design team’s goals towards creating designs that honor both people as well as the planet?

Our approach can be summarized in the form of five goals. Firstly, we aim to “create essence” through our designs for ultimate user satisfaction. Secondly, we want to “create circularity” to increase resource circulation efforts across the entire product lifecycle from manufacturing through to use and disposal. Thirdly, we aspire to “create standardization” in order to streamline our designs and subsequently reduce resource waste and manufacturing costs, and fourthly, to “create longevity” for our products by extending their life cycles and building easily fixable designs. Finally, we aim to “create transparency” through clear communication on the metrics of our design processes with a focus on eco-conscious activities. All Samsung Galaxy designers are guided by these five goals.

Q. Can you share more about how the design team is following through on these goals?

All projects we undertake keep the long-term vision in mind instead of short-term results, and we collaborate closely with the material sourcing teams to ensure our designs incorporate recycled materials. We also share our design strategy and plans with a range of internal stakeholders in order to further vitalize each project with different ideas and perspectives. We make sure to reflect on all the feedback we receive in order to keep eco-consciousness at front of mind when designing.

Q. How important is working with such an authentic mission in mind to the team?

We live in a world where the sharing of information is boundless, making temporary or short-term initiatives meaningless. We embrace the opportunity to think carefully about the values and efforts necessary required to accomplish our vision, as well as how best to communicate our approach transparently. This sense of mission as designers motivates us, and in time, we believe our customers, too, will come to understand and appreciate our determination.

The Samsung Galaxy Identity

Q. Can you share more about the two different designs, based on target audience, you developed for the Galaxy S23 series?

The Galaxy S23 and S23+ feature thin bezels that are slim and balanced on all sides for users to better focus on their screens, while a curved metal frame both protects the screen and provides the user with a comfortable grip. For the Galaxy S23 Ultra, we reduced the side edges and extended the flat surface of the device even further not only to provide better grip, but also to provide more space in which the S Pen can be utilized and ultimately maximize the benefits of the large screen for the user.

Our focus when designing was to convey a consistent design identity across all three devices through simple line design and planes that eliminate all unnecessary elements. Even the more subtle elements, such as the side keys, antenna slit, speaker hole and mic hole, had their size and layout meticulously adjusted to match this. Furthermore, the camera contour cut design seen on the Galaxy S22 and S22+ was removed, and all Galaxy S23 models are now fitted with a single camera design to provide even more consistency across the lineup.

Q. Would you agree that the Galaxy S23 series’ camera’s distinct design is as notable as its performance?

Since a lot of the smartphones currently on the market possess a similar shape, the camera design of a device has become a powerful way to distinguish a product and express brand identity. This is why the Samsung Galaxy S series’ camera layout has stayed the same since the Galaxy S21 series in order to foster a unique design identity.

The external part of the camera is a glossy metal while the internal parts have been processed with smooth hairlines in order to convey the camera’s powerful performance. The design of the inner elements of the camera, including the form, texture and color, were inspired by traditional camera lenses that minimize light reflection.

Future-Forward Color Swatches, Inspired by Nature

Q. Can you please introduce the main colors of the Galaxy S23 series?

Some of the Galaxy S23 series’ components were built using recycled materials¹ to contribute to resource circulation, so in order to further reflect this idea of environmental protection, the Galaxy S23 series comes in four colors that are based on a concept we call “Shades of Nature”. The Green shade is reminiscent of a tranquil forest while Phantom Black embodies the silent strength of nature, and the bright Cream shade is warming to look at while Lavender captures the energetic nature of everyday life.

Four additional colors that we developed under the concept of “Shades in Dream” — Lime, Skyblue, Red and Graphite² — will be exclusively available for devices purchased online. We wanted to provide online customers with some upbeat and futuristic shades that convey their brightness even when simply seen on-screen. The Lime shade, a brand-new addition to the Samsung Galaxy color lineup, has been designed to be a lively and captivating color swatch, and we hope our users will enjoy this new addition to the Samsung Galaxy color range.

Q. Can you speak more about the recycled materials used in part of the Galaxy S23 series’ back panel glass³?

Recycled materials based on plastic bottles can tend to have a yellowish tint to them, so we were initially worried that the coloring might end up too dark. However, after we processed the materials, we were surprised to find that this recycled material actually helped to create a more natural and organic look for the Cream shade.

Designed With the Planet in Mind

Q. Can you share more about the expansion of recycled materials involved in the Galaxy S23 series’ development?

The front and back glass panels of the Galaxy S23 series devices contain an average of 22% of pre-consumer recycled content, and the film that goes inside the back glass panel incorporates 80% of recycled plastics sourced from discarded plastic bottles. Furthermore, the inner components of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, including the S Pen cover and the lower speaker modules, have been built using recycled ocean-bound plastic sourced from discarded fishnets and plastic bottles, and aluminum byproducts from the manufacturing process were used for the S23 Ultra’s side and volume keys.

Furthermore, the packaging box is made from 100% recycled paper and the cover accessory also contains some recycled or biodegradable materials, meaning that all aspects of the Galaxy S23 series’ design reflect our commitment to the circulation of resources.

Q. What efforts have been made to create more eco-conscious packaging designs over the years?

We started to reduce the use of plastic in our packaging designs in 2018. When we first started, we had fourteen different packaging parts within a single package, and now for Galaxy S23 series, we have come a long way to ensure that only six packaging parts⁴ are included. We also made sure to leverage recycled paper materials when building the packaging box itself, and though paper materials made from 100% recycled pulp can be dusty and weaker than regular paper, we undertook extensive research, adjusted the manufacturing process and went through countless quality verification tests to find the perfect composition to use in our product packaging.

Q. What areas will you be focusing on for future package designs?

We will continue to focus on creating high-quality packaging that incorporates recycled paper materials. Our goal is to create our own paper materials made with pulp that we have developed ourselves, as well as to receive recognition for our eco-conscious designs.

Samsung is committed to pursuing innovation that does not take the planet’s resources for granted and that instead repurposes discarded materials in order to give them a second life, thus providing users with true, meaningful value. The Samsung Galaxy S series will continue to bridge the gap between usability and eco-consciousness through future-forward design choices.

Ultra-Wide Angles and Telephoto Lenses, All Included With Galaxy S23 Ultra

From daily vlogs to short movies, videos filmed using a smartphone can be easily found on video platforms, displaying the widespread and increased use of smartphone cameras in daily life.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra offers a wide range of shooting options, including wide angle, ultra-wide angle and even telephotography, using three types of main rear lenses and the 3x optical zoom Telephoto Camera. Each of the rear lenses shoot and create unique images that capture different vibes in various conditions and settings. With a total weight of 233 grams and a 6.8-inch display, the Galaxy S23 Ultra offers the crispness and diverse features of a digital camera brilliantly on a single, lightweight smartphone.

▲ Equipped with three main rear cameras and a Telephoto Camera, the Galaxy S23 Ultra offers the ultimate shooting experience for all situations and conditions.

When venturing out into the streets of San Francisco, a notable feature of the city is Lombard Street, showcasing the city’s uphill and downhill streets. Thanks to the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s powerful 200 MP camera, amateur or experienced photographers can perfectly capture the unique vibes of the downtown area. While miles away, Coit Tower, which stands at the top of Telegraph Hill south of Russian Hill, seems just a short distance away on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. From just beyond the intersection of California Street sits the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The Galaxy S23 Ultra captured the different moods of this scene vibrantly using different angles of view and lenses, all with just a touch of a button.

▲ Photos captures using the Ultra-Wide Camera (left), Wide Camera (center) and Telephoto Camera (right)

Equipped with Dual Pixel technology, the Ultra-Wide Camera and the Telephoto Camera secured high-resolution images in 12MP and 10MP, respectively, with natural focusing to capture backgrounds smoothly and clearly. With Super Quad Pixel technology, shoot images with pin-sharp resolution easily thanks to enhanced autofocus functionality. Additionally, the 200MP Wide Camera provides stunning image quality on a soft background with an F1.7 aperture module.

▲ Utilizing the Galaxy S23 Ultra Telephoto Camera with 10x zoom to capture distant subjects clearly

Capturing the Craters of the Moon: Ultra-High-Resolution 200MP Camera Offers the Highest Resolution on a Smartphone

The Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with an improved Adaptive Pixel sensor. Depending on the characteristics and brightness of the landscape you want to capture, the resolution automatically changes to 200MP, 50MP or 12MP. On a sunny day, easily experience the clarity and vibrance of 200MP ultra-high resolution.

▲ Capture distant subjects without losing quality or clarity thanks to the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200MP Wide Camera.

The brilliance of 200MP can be experienced no better than when zooming in on a photo or video. In many cases when you zoom in on an original photo or video to crop it, you will end up with broken image pixels.

Thanks to the high-resolution pixels of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the details are crisp and clear even when users crop the image. Experience the benefits of this high-resolution feature by cropping a photo of a person or subject against a wide natural backdrop or taking close-up photos where the camera must be held very close to the subject.

▲Painted ladies houses captured on using the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200MP camera (left) and the same photo zoomed in and cropped (right)

In addition to higher resolution, the pixel size has increased, offering more lifelike and realistic image quality. When filming videos in 8K at 30FPS with the Galaxy S23 series, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra, larger pixels and a wider angle of view allows you to experience a sense of depth and realism as if the action is unfolding right before your eyes.

▲ Shoot smooth and stunning high-resolution videos in 8K at 30fps easily on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra also shoots clear and stable shots without motion shakes or blur thanks to an improved, wider OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and VDIS (Video Digital Image Stabilization). The optical image stabilization (OIS) correction angle has increased twofold, giving users the ability to take photos with greater stability and less camera shake with the new model. Not only does the OIS feature reduce vibration in photos, but it also stabilizes videos automatically when shooting 8K, 4K, FHD and HD videos. OIS also reduces vibration caused by the user’s footsteps while shooting nighttime videos, providing stable and clear images without motion blur.

This feature comes in handy, especially when using the Space Zoom feature, which enables up to 100x zoom. The Galaxy S23 Ultra captured the craters of the moon in detail thanks to the OIS feature and Space Zoom, minimizing even the slightest movements that could ruin the picture.

▲ Photos captured of the Moon using the Space Zoom feature at 1x zoom (left), 10x zoom (center) and 100x zoom (right)

Upgrade Your Selfie Game With Smarter AI and Warm Tones

In addition to the main rear cameras, the front-facing camera has also been improved, helping take your selfie game to the next level. Add a touch of liveliness to high-resolution photos with the 12MP Dual Pixel- and AI-enhanced front-facing camera.

What better place to take a selfie in San Francisco than the Golden Gate Bridge? Although it was a bit cloudy, the Galaxy S23 Ultra was able to express rich colors with the help of Super High Dynamic Range (Super HDR), which is supported even for selfie images and videos.

▲ An upgraded front-facing camera provides high-resolution image quality for epic selfies.

▲ Capture both the beauty of the scenery and your best side with the revamped front-facing camera (top). Results of selfie captured with the Galaxy S23 Ultra (bottom)

▲ The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s front-facing camera captures not only photos in great detail but videos as well.

On the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the color tone setting adds a warm tone to the front-facing camera, an update from previous models which used a natural tone, to add a warm hue to any selfie. Users can choose different options when taking a selfie depending on the mood of the photo and their skin tone for a truly personalized and optimized selfie-taking experience.

▲ With the warm tone (right), compared to ones taken in natural colors (left).

Create Masterful Photos and Videos Unaffected by Darkness With Nightography

The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Nightography has revamped the camera experience. All Galaxy S23 series models are capable of reducing noise of photos and videos even in dark environments thanks to image signal processing (ISP) that uses AI solutions. AI ISP creates photos or videos by adjusting the saved data on an image sensor and improves the detailed color tone and picture quality by overcoming the physical limitations of the camera.

The Palace of Fine Arts was quite dark because there was no light other than the building illumination.

▲ Photo taken of the Palace of Fine Arts using Galaxy S23 Ultra (right) versus a photo taken on another smartphone (left)

Despite this, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Nightography perfectly captured the details of the illumination and the lines of the building reflected in the lake. The difference became much clearer when this photo was compared with another photo taken with a different smartphone.

▲ Taking beautiful selfies in the dark has never been easier thanks to Nightography (top). Selfies captured in the dark using Night Mode (right) provide enhanced details and brightness for stunning photos in dark or poorly lit places.

Not only does Nightography perform strongly when capturing photos on the rear camera, it shines brightly when shooting selfies in the dark as well. A selfie taken in a place with no streetlight came out crisp and bright, capturing even the fine details of the hair.

After moving to another location, we experimented with Nightography in the square in front of the Ferry Building. While there was more light, it was now well into the night. This was no challenge for Nightography, allowing for an epic selfie to be taken in the heart of the city with the lights from the streetlights and the surrounding buildings in the background.

▲ The various lenses of the Galaxy S23 Ultra allow for different vibes and angles to be captured.

Stronger Pro-Level Camera Experience With Expert RAW

The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s Expert RAW app for experts and creators has also been further improved. As it is possible to take photos in up to 50MP with Expert RAW, the Galaxy S23 Ultra can capture and store images like no other smartphone.

▲ Downloading and using the Expert RAW app is both easy and seamless on your Galaxy S23 Ultra.

An original (“raw”) file that is taken using the Expert RAW app contains rich color data. The app directly adjusts the ISO, shutter speed, focus and more to create the desired feeling and effect while expanding adjustment capabilities during post-capture editing. It enables the dimming of overexposed parts while reviving the details of underexposed parts for truly perfect pictures.

However, as a raw file contains a large amount of color data, each photo is large in size. The same is true for high-resolution photo and video files shot using the basic camera. For avid photographers, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a large storage capacity of at least 512GB and offers “optimal performance,” hence the name Ultra. With optimal usability, users can save large, high-resolution files without the fear of running out of space or lowered quality.

▲ Taking professional-level photographs is a breeze with the Expert RAW app.

▲ Capture dynamic and diverse scenes, such as the Bay Bridge at night, with the Expert RAW app.

▲ Final version of the photo of the Bay Bridge captured with the Expert RAW app.

The Expert RAW app has unique features that can increase photo expertise. The app, which captures high-quality 16-bit Computational Raw File images, gives users the ability to shoot up to ten photos consecutively for excellent photos taken in sequence.¹ Additionally, there is Multiple exposures, which combines multiple images taken separately into a single photo, and Astrophoto settings, which enables users to take photos of the stars and the Milky Way in the night sky.

With Astrophoto settings, the Galaxy S23 Ultra captures the movement of stars by taking multiple photos for a set period of time according to the movement of celestial bodies. Thanks to cutting-edge AI segmentation technology and multi-frame process editing, shooting and editing astrophotography without the use of professional equipment is now easier than ever. Users can also capture stunning time-lapse videos of the night sky with Hyperlapse, allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the night sky in greater detail.

▲ Multiple exposures using the Expert RAW app allows for multiple captured images to be combined into a single image.

▲ With Astrophoto settings, capture breathtaking shots of the night sky and enjoy stars and celestial bodies in all their beauty right on your Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is being recognized for opening a new premium era of smartphones. The latest camera technology and expert-level features, which were only possible with professional equipment, are now available for both novice and professional photographers, all on the convenience on your Galaxy smartphone. Stay tuned for more industry-leading camera innovation, led by none other than Galaxy.

▲ In the Play the Epic Zone, visitors can experience how the Galaxy S23 series brings mobile gaming to the next level.

When a player is in the middle of the game, even a slight delay can cause critical issues. For instance, racing games require fast-loading screens, so any distraction can get even the most experienced players off track. However, a racing game on Galaxy S23 Ultra provides not only full immersion but also no disruptions. With a display that supports super smooth 120Hz refresh rate, coupled with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon^® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, gamers can expect smoother graphics, faster response speeds and a seamless gaming experience.

The presence of recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 series has also been increased, rising from six internal components made from eco-conscious materials in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components incorporating recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

We also used a wider variety of recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass, for use in Galaxy devices. By continuing to increase recycled materials in Galaxy devices, this helps us reduce our impact on the environment. Specifically, the use of recycled ocean-bound plastics in the Galaxy S23 series could prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans by the end of 2023, helping to reduce ocean pollution.

The Galaxy S23 series is built to last with durability and repairability, making it dependable for years to come. It’s the first device to feature Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass Victus^® 2, which offers durability for long-term use and contains an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled content.

The Security and Privacy Dashboard on Samsung Galaxy gives users full visibility over who has access to their data and how it’s being used. With just a glance, it’s easy to see if personal data is at risk and receive simple prompts to change settings for a more secure experience. Users can also decide exactly which applications and programs get access to their data and how it can be used.

For an added layer of security, Knox Vault, which was first introduced on the Galaxy S21 series, protects critical information on the Galaxy S23 series by isolating it from the rest of the device, including the OS, for added protection against vulnerabilities.

More Freedom and Flexibility for Connected Lifestyles

At the core of the Samsung Galaxy S series’ premium experience is the uncompromising innovation of Samsung Galaxy Ultra. But the power and creative capabilities of Samsung Galaxy Ultra don’t stop at smartphones. With the brand new, first-ever Galaxy Book3 Ultra and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, users can now enjoy an ultimate Samsung Galaxy’s ecosystem.

Across every Galaxy S series model, connected experiences get added benefits. Samsung Multi Control,²⁰ which connects mouse and keyboard functionality between a Samsung Galaxy PC and tablet, now extends to Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 for the ultimate flexibility between devices.

One of the most exciting electronic artists in the modern music scene, Yaeji reworked the recognizable tune using a fusion of electronic elements. This playful version evokes the universal feelings of hope and joy, inviting us to imagine and be optimistic about what’s on the other side of the horizon. Check out the video below to experience “Over the Horizon” 2023, incorporating both stop-motion art and digital graphics.

Best known for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Synecdoche, New York, Kaufman took advantage of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s filming capabilities to create a short visual art film in beautiful, crystal-clear detail. The film, titled Jackals and Fireflies, is based on a poem by Eva H.D., who plays the role of poet, narrator and lead actor in this uniquely Kaufmanesque love letter to New York City. Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Nightography allowed acclaimed Director of Photography Chayse Irvin to effectively capture New York’s famous night scenes, revealing the City to viewers as if they were witnessing with their own eyes. Kaufman found shooting with Galaxy to be an “effective approach” for bringing the film to life, and is very happy with the final result, adding that “the finished product is beautiful.”

The partnership builds on the Filmed #withGalaxy campaign, which invites visionary directors to demonstrate that the Galaxy S Series is the perfect tool they need to share their epic stories with the world. In October 2021, world-renowned British director Joe Wright used the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s 13mm Ultra-Wide lens to shoot his short film Princess and Peppernose. In November 2021, up and coming Chinese director Sha Mo used the Galaxy S21 Ultra to capture the visually stunning Kids of Paradise.

Where To See Jackals and Fireflies

Jackals and Fireflies will be unveiled exclusively at the Galaxy Experience Space in San Francisco coming with Galaxy Unpacked event on February 1. Kaufman will also present the film at a later date in New York City.

Samsung will continue to set epic standards for the smartphone experience at Galaxy Unpacked, with camera capabilities being at the forefront of the new premium Galaxy innovations.

Stay tuned on samsungmobilepress.com for all the upcoming teasers, trailers and news about Jackals and Fireflies as well as Galaxy Unpacked 2023.

One of these new connectivity features is Recent Websites² — an update for the Microsoft Phone Link³ App now available across the Galaxy Book series — which allows users to continue browsing sessions from their smartphones on their PCs effortlessly. A great way to hit the ground running when moving from a phone to a Galaxy Book, this feature makes browsing experiences smoother and more mobile, ensuring users never miss a beat in their productivity.

Galaxy Book users can now call up recent sessions from their smartphone with a single click, taking the fuss out of multi-device browsing for responsive, convenient navigation. For instance, say a user wants to research something on their phone and opens multiple tabs. At some point, it might be more efficient to open these same tabs on a bigger screen and start working with some PC applications. With Recent Websites, this task is easier than ever, allowing users to open new tabs without needing to go back to check search terms or browsing histories.

To use Recent Websites, make sure to link your Galaxy smartphone to Galaxy Book through Link to Windows’ on your phone and the Microsoft Phone Link App on your PC. Then simply open the Microsoft Phone Link App or flyout on your PC, which will display a list of websites you recently opened on your smartphone. Clicking on one of these websites will launch it straight away on your Galaxy Book.

Recent Websites is one of a variety of new and upcoming connectivity features that make the connected experience between Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Book series richer and more adaptable than ever. By unlocking limitless possibilities between devices, Samsung is empowering customers to use and combine their devices in more innovative and accessible ways. Stay tuned for the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event to hear more about Samsung’s efforts to push multi-device connectivity for the Galaxy Book series and beyond.

Every year, mobile technology increasingly becomes the very core of our daily lives and the epicenter of innovation.

With these essential devices, we create and consume content that connects, inspires and entertains us. We stay immersed in the world of an epic game, even on the go. We keep up with colleagues and deadlines when we’re away from our desks. And we manage every part of our lives in one convenient place — from health and wellness habits to appointments, purchases, travel and more.

Our days revolve around these experiences, so people want devices they can depend on from brands they can trust. At the same time, global challenges like the climate crisis are making us rethink how we live. We have a responsibility to help create a better world now while working toward a more equitable and sustainable future. We believe mobile technology can be the catalyst to enrich people’s lives and help create that future we envision. And this is the reason why we do what we do in Samsung Electronics.

Setting New Performance Standards

There’s no better example of Samsung delivering on this vision than the Galaxy S series. This year, Galaxy S series has extended our innovation heritage by doubling down on our fundamentals.

That’s why our pro-grade camera system is getting smarter, offering the best photos and videos in any light among our Galaxy smartphones. Along with the hardware and software optimization, our newest chipset, born out of Samsung’s open partnership philosophy, enables the fastest and most powerful Galaxy performance. Our ecosystem connectivity is also getting easier and more seamless than ever.

At the top of the Galaxy S series is our Galaxy S Ultra. It’s the product you can trust to give you the best of the best with redefined performance and quality.

We fully merged the most beloved Galaxy Note experiences into Ultra, pioneering a smartphone with the power, performance and creative capabilities of two leading Galaxy innovations in one.

The Galaxy S Ultra has truly become the pinnacle of Samsung Mobile’s innovation, a marque that stands out against everything else, and soon we’ll show you what Ultra can do in even more device categories.

Innovation That Lasts

Performance is not just about more power. It’s also about innovation that lasts with less environmental impact.

We are committed to combatting climate change, and we are guided by our new environmental strategy that strives to make the technology we depend on more sustainable. That’s why we consider every phase of the product lifecycle with sustainability top of mind.

This means building devices that last longer with enhanced durability and reliability. This means incorporating more recycled materials into more components. This means collaborating with like-minded partners to bring people closer together and deliver positive change for people and the planet while setting new benchmarks for our industry.

Premium Experience Without Compromise

On February 1 at Unpacked, we’ll show how innovation and sustainability working together bring the ultimate premium experience.

At a time when the stakes are higher than ever, we’ve raised the bar by pushing boundaries for the mobile experience — delivering our most powerful mobile experiences you’ll continue to love for years to come.

I can’t wait to share what’s next with you.

“Introducing innovation is about more than putting another device in customers’ hands,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP & Head of Marketing of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “It’s about providing them with an open portal into new experiences, everyday connections and the power to fuel their passions in new ways. That’s why we’re excited to expand the Galaxy Experience Space — to provide more people around the world with an in-person, immersive look at all Samsung technology has to offer and our approach to purposeful innovation.”

Share the Epic at the San Francisco Galaxy Experience Space

The marquee Galaxy Experience Space is located at 111 Powell Street in San Francisco. Consumers will be able to visit the space and participate in exciting interactive concept exhibits. Each concept will offer a unique experience, whether it’s getting behind the lens of Galaxy’s latest camera system, testing the potential of Galaxy’s connected ecosystem or learning about Samsung’s efforts towards a sustainable future.

When entering the space, visitors will step into Samsung’s “Everyday Sustainability” vision and glimpse how Galaxy technologies incorporate eco-conscious practices. Among other immersive exhibits is a chance to explore exciting new camera features — all from a movie director’s chair. Guests can get hands-on with movie set-like displays and view and enjoy camera settings to create their own shareable content.
