Street photography with Galaxy S23 Ultra

I got Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

It is a loan phone, which I brought to the streets of Sofia (Bulgaria).

Background Story

In 2007 I reallocated to South Korea for my MBA degree. Among other things, I have learned the importance of finding inspiration in life. 

In the beginning, I was unsure if I should learn how to play a musical instrument or maybe how to paint. One thing I knew, is that traveling to find adventures beyond the horizon, is something I admire a lot. 

Gradually, I started to develop a passion for photography. And bringing a camera with me along these journeys became second nature. 

Is a Galaxy S23 Ultra any good for Street Photography?

That is a question I had prior to the time I spent with the latest flagship of Samsung. One of the things I liked most is the dynamic range and how sharp the pictures are. The phone offers a set of 4 cameras and one of them has a gigantic 200mp sensor. On the spec sheet, all this is impressive, and people should be able to capture spectacular night pictures as well.

As my time was limited, and I could use it only during the day, I've decided to stick to 1 camera sensor, 1 shooting mode "portrait", and 1 street.

Conclusion

Samsung continues to impress by constantly investing in democratizing the technology for all by offering faster - better camera sensors. Galaxy S23 Ultra shows why people around the world love smartphone photography. 

Keep it simple - 1x camera, 1x shooting mode, 1x neighborhood

To make the device work best for me, I disabled all AI features.
