Our honest thoughts on the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 200MP camera
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, showing the camera lenses.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a whopping 200-megapixel camera on the back, and it's one of the major differentiators between it and the otherwise fairly similar Galaxy S22 Ultra. But in normal, everyday use, the camera defaults to taking 12MP photographs. Due to its clever pixel-binning technology, this ensures you get great photos that quickly exploit the massive sensor’s true ability, before wrapping the results up in a sensibly sized file.

However, you can activate a 200MP photo mode and take pictures at full resolution. The temptation is always to think that the more megapixels, the better — but is that the case for the Galaxy S23 Ultra? I’ve been out to see if you should be experimenting with the 200MP camera, or if it's a gimmick best left alone. If you've not seen what the Galaxy S23 Ultra's camera can do in 12MP mode, take a look at how it performed in our Galaxy S23 Ultra vs. Pixel 7 Pro camera test and S23 Ultra vs. iPhone 14 Pro camera comparison first.
