This also means that the Galaxy S23 series offered almost no surprises, which takes away from some of the fun.<\/p>\n<p>We managed to get the new Galaxy S23 Ultra in time to have a quick camera shootout with its predecessor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra.  We compared the new 200MP camera to its 108MP ancestor, as well as the 3x and 10x zoom cameras of old and new.  The new main camera of the Galaxy S23 Ultra takes sharper images with significantly higher levels of detail.  Some might even say the images are a little too sharp, but the detail advantage is undeniable, even in low light.<\/p><div id=\"forum-3689008606\" class=\"forum-content-2 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The Galaxy S23 Ultra has been pre-ordered worldwide this week, starting at \u20ac1,400 in Europe, $1,200 in the US and \u20b9115,000 in India.
