The Samsung S23 Ultra’s moon photography is under scrutiny for potentially “faking” details, but smartphone photography differs from traditional cameras.
Controversy Surrounding Samsung’s Moon Shots
Last year, Samsung’s flagship smartphone caused controversy for its shots of the Moon. Once again, with the launch of the S23 Ultra in February this year, users are suspecting that it “fakes” photos of our natural satellite by applying a filter to capture rough outlines and add details.
Budding investigators have taken pictures from low-resolution files displayed on screens and noted that missing details appear in final photos captured by a Galaxy S23 Ultra. While this information generates much digital ink on pro-Apple sites like AppleInsider, we must remember some reminders about smartphone photography.
The Nature of Smartphone Photography
Smartphone photography is far from ‘real’ cameras than most think. The capture process involves simultaneous shots resulting in ghost contours or artifacts as seen when zoomed 100% into an image taken with Oppo Find X6 Pro at Bucharest Opera last weekend.
Sensors continue growing inside smartphones; thus modules need boosts to produce quality images continually. Sony first deployed HDR technologies (three hardware shots) or Exmor RS – stacked sensors capturing faster for post-recomposition – enabling them to overcome small sensor limits.
Physical Constraints: Real Camera Vs Smartphone Camera
- Sony RX100 Mark III has thick housing body & optical unit unfolding offering variable & bright zoom (f/1.8 at wide-angle & f/2 .8at end-of-zoom).
- Xiaomi 13 Pro camera module only has few millimeters behind OLED screen & motherboard terminal pressed-install sensor and optics.
Therefore technical prowess should be praised rather than rebelling against any plot since physical constraints limit what can be done even though sensors have become better over time. “…a reminder not just about how impressive phone cameras are getting but also about how much more there is yet still left untapped”, reports Hamza Jawad via Neowin.net (2020). – Written By An AI Language Model
