With the Galaxy S20 series, we can now take instagrammable indoor photos without any heavy equipment or additional camera lenses. The Galaxy S20’s camera seamlessly combines a cutting-edge camera hardware system with AI-powered software technology, so you never compromise on quality or simplicity. It changes the way you capture and goes beyond the moment you point and shoot to change every aspect of your camera experience. Let’s dive into some tips to help you improve your indoor photography:

Tip 1: Don’t be afraid to take night shots

When capturing scenes in low-light conditions, we are often disappointed to see that our pictures come out blurry, grainy or just dissimilar to what’s in front of us. But the Galaxy S20’s camera is set to change all that thanks to its larger image sensor, which means that even in default camera mode, photos and videos come out clear and true to life regardless of lighting conditions. Indeed, your balcony is a great choice to try out the night shot!

Tip 2: Appreciate every little item in your home

Now that we are on restricted mobility, it could be easier to use the items in it as your subject. When you start looking around, you will realise there are tonnes of stuff that can be used to create interesting shots. All you need is some imagination to exploit them, it can be your food, glass, stairs and etc.

With 108MP resolution on the S20 Ultra and 64MP on the S20 and S20+, pictures taken on the devices are so pixel-perfect, you can zoom in on your cityscapes or striking landscape shots to see even the smallest details.

Tip 3: Be creative on your camera settings

The Pro Mode setting in Galaxy S20 series allows you to have more creative control over your images by providing the opportunity to adjust certain settings, such as the aperture, exposure time, ISO and others that may affect your photography outcome. The Pro Mode is one of your best friends when taking low light photos, so learn to use it properly by adjusting the ISO or shutter speed. How to use the Pro Mode? That’s easy! What you need to do is just open your Galaxy S20 camera, swipe to “MORE” and select “Pro Mode”.

Tip 4: Get a closer look at the subject you want

The Galaxy S20 series is packed with innovative new Zoom capabilities. Its Space Zoom feature gets you a closer look at the subjects, with the S20 and S20+ supporting up to 30x zoom and the S20 Ultra supporting up to a game-changing 100x zoom!

Space Zoom means you’re able to zoom in on what matters to you while retaining photo clarity. Even if you’re looking to take a picture of something really far away – such as the moon – you’ll be able to capture your luminescent subject as if it’s right there in front of you with Space Zoom.

Taking place in the main cities of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor, Kuantan, and Kota Kinabalu, aspiring Galaxy S20 owners began congregating at the roadshow spots as early as the night before; as they could not wait to get their hands on Samsung’s latest flagship packaged in an extraordinarily compelling and exclusive bundle.

Hundreds of excited consumers crowd Mid Valley Megamall as early as midnight to bring home the Galaxy S20 that will change the way they see and capture the world

The first day of the roadshow saw many Samsung fans and tech enthusiasts bring home a new Galaxy S20, along with a free Samsung Wireless Charger Pad and a 128GB Samsung MicroSD Memory Card worth a total of RM378. Moreover, the exceptional early birds were rewarded with extra-special prizes – a brand-new Samsung 50” 4K Smart UHD TV (worth RM2,599) or an RM400 instant rebate upon trading in an old camera.

The first in line was Colin Chong, a 34-year-old Compliance Officer at a local bank. He arrived in Mid Valley Megamall over 24 hours early to survey the roadshow area just to ensure his eligibility to bring home a new 4K Samsung TV. “I arrived in Mid Valley at around 8:30am just to see if there were other customers lining up. But since nothing was set up yet, I went home to rest and came back at around 4:30pm, and finally made a line at around 8:00pm. It’s been a long night, but surprisingly I still feel great,” he said. “I’ve been a Samsung user since the Galaxy S7 and to me, the Galaxy S20 is a big upgrade over its predecessors. I chose the Ultra variant because of its 5G and awesome camera capabilities. To be the first consumer in KL to touch the Galaxy S20 is special and exciting. The 4K TV is a great add-on to! This will go to my parents-in-law, as I think they definitely needed an upgrade over their old cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV,” he laughed.

Mohd Aizad Abd Talib was next in line, who made a trip up to KL all the way from Malacca. “I arrived here at around 8:45pm and started lining up at about 9:00pm. I came to KL as early as I could for this great TV promo, which to me, is the best roadshow promo by Samsung so far,” said the 34-year-old IT advisor. “I’m extremely happy with my purchase of the S20 Ultra, especially because its display finally has a 120Hz refresh rate,” he added.

The Galaxy S20 series has caught the eyes of many video and content creators as well, as testified by local YouTubers Paan Hanz and Faiz Zainal.

“As an on-the-go content creator, I’ve liked Samsung’s camera and video functions for a long time now. I’ve been a die-hard Note series user ever since the Galaxy Note 2, but decided to finally go for the S20 Ultra as it has many features I’ve been dreaming of in a Samsung phone, such as the 120Hz Super AMOLED display, 108MP camera with Space Zoom, 5,000 mAh battery, the Exynos 990 processor, and of course 5G capabilities,” said Paan Hanz, a 27-year-old tech YouTuber.

Faiz Zainal, a 26-year-old who works in the media industry, noted that this was his first time lining up for a Samsung flagship at a consumer roadshow, adding that the free 50” 4K TV was too good of a deal to pass on. “My new TV will go into my room. It’s going to be a big part of my life moving forward, as I’ll definitely be going on Netflix every night before I sleep!” he said. “As for my new Galaxy S20+, I’m extremely pleased with this purchase. The camera is probably among the best one in smartphones now, and finally we have a 120Hz display in a Samsung phone which I love. The S20 series also doesn’t have a curved screen anymore, which is actually a good thing to me,” he added.

Remenia Shortt, a 34-year-old Malaysian citizen originally from Philippines, purchased her new Galaxy S20 Ultra solely for its picture-taking capabilities. “The cameras on Samsung phones have always been amazing. And now with the Ultra, I probably have the best smartphone camera right now, especially for dark or night time situations,” she said. “I’ve been using Samsung phones for as long as I can remember, from the Note 2, to the S7 Edge, and now the S20 Ultra. Samsung’s after-sales service has always been commendable and I foresee that I’ll continue using Samsung for quite a while more. I really can’t wait to play around with the camera, especially for when I go swimming!” she added

“As we enter this new decade, 5G will completely change how we communicate and how we experience the world around us,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “As all three Galaxy S20 variants come with 5G connectivity[1], Samsung is providing a next-generation device for transforming people’s lives. With an incredible, AI powered camera, you can capture the moments as they happen and connect more seamlessly with the people you love.”

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF COMMUNICATION

With 5G, a new decade of mobile innovation is beginning. And to harness this new generation of connectivity, every device in the Galaxy S20 series—the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra—comes equipped with the latest 5G technology.[2] The Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra are the first devices able to power new mobile experiences that take advantage of both sub-6 and mmWave. The Galaxy S20 supports sub-6.[3]  All three devices are capable of delivering non-standalone and standalone 5G capabilities.

CHANGING HOW WE CAPTURE

Now, more than ever, we capture our lives and tell our stories through our smartphones—and that is why the camera is the single-most important feature for consumers purchasing a new smartphone. Designed for the way we live, the Galaxy S20 introduces an entirely new camera system—powered by AI and with our biggest image sensor yet—to bring out the best in every image and every moment.

• Details in Stunning Clarity: With a larger image sensor available on the Galaxy S20 series, camera resolution is significantly increased, for more detailed images with added flexibility for editing, cropping, and zooming. S20 and S20+ have a 64MP camera. S20 Ultra has 108MP camera. Another benefit is that the larger sensors take in more light, so you get rich image quality even in low light situations. The S20 Ultra takes things a step further with the option to shift dynamically between a high resolution 108MP mode and a 12MP mode, thanks to nona-binning technology which combines nine pixels into one at the sensor level.
• Groundbreaking Zoom Capability: With the Galaxy S20’s Space Zoom technology that uses a combination of Hybrid Optic Zoom and Super Resolution Zoom, which includes AI-powered digital zoom, even when you are far away you can zoom in close. Use up to 30X zoom on the Galaxy S20 and S20+, or step-up to the revolutionary folded lenses on the S20 Ultra, which uses AI powered, multi-image processing to reduce quality loss at high zoom levels so that users can experience Super Resolution Zoom up to 100X with a clearer view ever than before.
• Single Take, Multiple Possibilities: Single Take lets you stay in the moment, while you capture the moment. Thanks to its AI camera technologies, the Galaxy S20 can capture a number of photos and videos, such as Live focus, cropped, Ultra Wide and more that captures your moment the best.
• Pro-Grade Filming Capability: The Galaxy S20 offers stunning 8K video shooting, so users can capture their world in true-to-life color and quality. When you are done shooting, stream your video to a Samsung QLED 8K TV and enjoy its best-in-class viewing experience[4] or grab a still from an 8K video and turn it into a high-res photo. And, even the bumpiest videos look like they were shot using an action cam, thanks to Super Steady and its anti-rolling stabilization and AI motion analysis.
