Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200 megapixel camera: best camera performance

Appliance leaks come in all shapes and sizes. Yesterday's Galaxy S23 design leak was pretty extensive and it may be a while before more details about the Galaxy S23 series emerge online.

A GalaxyClub colleague recently confirmed through a source that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature his 200MP main camera. If you've been following our news feed, you know that rumors about the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200MP camera are nothing new. However, we now have confirmation that Samsung is indeed planning to use a 200-megapixel sensor for its next-generation premium flagship.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see how these specs translate to real-world usage scenarios.
