Plus, with Galaxy, fans are able to customize nearly every aspect of their devices across one simple UI. So with so much to choose from, it’s easy to find something for everyone. The Gist What You Need to Know About the Samsung Galaxy S23 First things first, as mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy S23’s 200-megapixel camera is currently the highest resolution camera on any phone on the market. On top of that, the new device also features the brand’s fastest mobile processor ever, so you can quickly swipe through every app, tool or perk you need. The camera has been optimized for advanced night photography, and comes with a built-in S Pen stylus that can be used to operate the camera's shutter button from afar. Of course, the stylus can also be used to draw or navigate daily tasks across the phone's touchscreen, but using it to trigger the camera's shutter means users will no longer have to wait on pesky self timers. The phone also features Galaxy’s biggest sensor, plus light-absorbing pixels and video stabilization technology to ensure that you can capture every moment in the highest quality possible. Notably, the Galaxy S23 has also been designed with recycled materials to keep things greener. Crafted in part with recycled glass and ocean-bound plastic, each phone also comes in a recycled paper box.

Then, when it comes time to edit your photos — not that you’ll need to — users can access the brand’s Expert RAW program to finesse in even greater detail. With a wide range of settings, you’ll be able to fine-tune every shot to capture exactly what you want; or let the intelligent device lock in the perfect specs every time.
