The Samsung Galaxy S23’s video capabilities should satisfy framerate sticklers

Samsung’s flagship cameras stand neck and neck with the Pixels and iPhones of the world, making themsome of the best Android phonesavailable. While theGalaxy S22 Ultraleft us impressed with its imaging prowess, Samsung is expected to kick things up a few notches with theupcoming Galaxy S23. The latest rumor about the 2023 flagship has us anticipating a new higher-than-ever framerate option for recording 8K videos.

Cinephiles may love 24fps for its classic movie look, but the rest of us tend to prefer a slightly smoother 30fps rate for the videos we shoot. While not a big difference on paper, that higher framerate usually means a more natural-looking video with less stuttering.

The current-gen Galaxy S22 phones can record 8K videos at 24fps — not a small feat by any means for a little smartphone in your pocket. But the upcoming Galaxy S23 will reportedly be able to record 8K videos at 30fps, according to reliable leakerIce Universe. While 8K videos and 8K TV sets aren’t yet ubiquitous, we still like the idea of having the option if we’re shooting super high-res videos.

8K videos already take up a lot of space, and that storage requirement is only going to climb when recording at a higher frame rate. If 8K video recording piqued your interest, make sure to get a handset with ample storage space. For everyone else who is fine with thelowly4K videos, your Samsung Galaxy flagships can still record them at a good 120fps, which look even smoother and are more than enough for most users.

Samsung isplanning some big changes for the camerason its upcoming Galaxy S23 lineup. Next year’s Ultra model may offer an eye-watering 200MP resolution from a yet-unannounced ISOCELL HP2 sensor. That’s a step up from the current 108MP sensor, and we’ve already hadan early look at a photo sample allegedly from the Galaxy S23 Ultra. As we get closer toits purported February 2023 release, we should hear more about the Galaxy S23 phones and their cameras.
