The Galaxy S23 Ultra is a great camera without any of these tricks. This wouldn’t be an issue if Samsung made it absolutely clear from the start that its moon shots are enhanced. Otherwise, it’s going to have some serious explaining to do. It’ll have to prove that the moon shots it takes with the Galaxy S23 Ultra and other flagships are real. Before deleting his tweets related to the moon controversy, he provided examples of the Galaxy S23 Ultra employing the moon-enhancing algorithm. Moreover, well-known Samsung insider Ice Universe says Samsung’s fake moon photos aren’t surprising. But a different Redditor did the same thing a couple of years ago. The Redditor doesn’t mention which phone he used to prove Samsung’s moon photos are fake. Samsung’s algorithms improve only one of the two moons, the only one they’re able to detect while the phone is snapping a photo. The Redditor goes on to say that “the moon pictures from Samsung are fake. This is not the same kind of processing that is done when you’re zooming into something else, when those multiple exposures and different data from each frame account to something. And I have to stress this: there’s a difference between additional processing a la super-resolution, when multiple frames are combined to recover detail which would otherwise be lost, and this, where you have a specific AI model trained on a set of moon images, in order to recognize the moon and slap on the moon texture on it (when there is no detail to recover in the first place, as in this experiment). In the side-by-side above, I hope you can appreciate that Samsung is leveraging an AI model to put craters and other details on places which were just a blurry mess. The only plausible explanation is that Samsung is faking it with a smart algorithm. This side-by-side image shows the Redditor’s source picture as well as the photo that was captured by his Galaxy S phone:Īn edited image of the moon that blurs details (left), the photo a Galaxy S handset took (right). Despite the blur, the Galaxy S phone somehow pulled off an amazingly detailed moon image. Zooming in on the monitor with his Samsung phone, he got a perfect moon photo. The Redditor put the photo on his monitor, turned off the lights, and moved to the other side of the room. Therefore, you shouldn’t be able to capture a great moon photo when pointing a Galaxy S23 Ultra at it. Then, he downsized it to 170 x 170 pixels and applied a Gaussian blur, removing all the detail from the picture. He started by downloading a high-resolution photo of the moon. The user’s extremely detailed post went viral, as he offered several camera samples to prove his point. A Redditor created a simple experiment that anyone can repeat to show that the moon pics they shoot with their Galaxy S flagship aren’t real.Ī Redditor who is aptly named ibreakphotos is the person behind the accusations.
