CAMERA
Epically equipped
We’ve packed Galaxy’s biggest sensor, light-absorbing pixels and video stabilisation technology into one Pro-grade Camera, all resulting in the ultimate question: ”Can you send me that?”
NIGHTOGRAPHY CAMERA
Low light. Camera. Action
Take crisp photos and videos, from dusk until dawn. Galaxy’s most advanced camera sensor and fastest processor accommodate low light and reduce noise. The camera lens even clears up the capture by toning down flare.

Hit record to capture clear, smooth scenes packed with detail, even if they’re backlit. It’s Galaxy’s most stable video in low light with superior OIS and noise-reducing tech keeping your scenes cinematic.
ASTRO HYPERLAPSE
Transform a starry sky into a work of art. Turn on Hyperlapse to record the night sky with bright clarity, then speed it up in post to show minutes of footage in stunning seconds.
HIGH RESOLUTION
200MP. Incredible resolution
We nearly doubled the resolution on the Wide-angle Camera from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, to deliver a clarity never before seen on Galaxy. Zoom and crop for a whole new shot without hitting the shutter — or leave it intact for brilliant detail, corner to corner.
Working behind the scenes of every shot is an all-new adaptive pixel sensor for a gallery of vibrant, crisp 200-megapixel photos in any light.
EXPERT RAW
Raw power, from snap to edit
Switch into Expert RAW to finesse in greater detail. Snap in 50MP for detailed, dynamic frames, or expand your repertoire with astrophoto, Multiple exposures and other exposure features.
ASTROPHOTO
Grab more detail, even in the dark. Set exposure manually or let the camera choose, then point it skyward to capture planets and constellations with clarity.
