Samsung is testing a 2x option for the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s portrait mode. Noisy mode was spotted by Ice Universe in a test firmware for the S23 Ultra.
The 2x mode will use a 50MP crop from the 200MP main camera, which will then be reduced to 12MP. It joins the 1x and 3x options: the former uses the main sensor and the latter uses the native 3x camera. Those are about 23mm and 70mm, adding a 2x with a roughly 50mm equivalent will result in more flattering portraits.

The update is reportedly around 1.5GB in size and will be finalized for release sometime in late May or early June. It will bring general improvements to the cameras. No word yet on whether Samsung will bring a 2x portrait mode option to other premium Galaxy phones.
Break!
