Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Overview:

200MP ISOCELL HP2 Sensor

After sticking to 108MP sensors for a few years, trying to perfect it, Samsung has now leapt to 200MP cameras with the S23 Ultra. A 200MP sensor is not anything new since multiple phones have had it in 2022. Even the rumours of a 200MP Samsung phone even date back to early 2021.

The first phone with a 200MP camera was Motorola X30 Pro with the ISOCELL HP1 sensor. Made by Samsung, it is the first 200MP image sensor for phones and went into mass production just last year. Since then, Samsung has also brought a couple of other 200MP sensors, ISOCELL HP3 and HPX, for more affordable phones. The latter is reserved for Chinese phones like the Note 12 series.

The recent spike in 200MP camera smartphones can also be credited to chipset manufacturers that have integrated hardware support for 200MP cameras in their recent chips. All of the recent flagship Android chipsets like Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and MediaTek Dimensity 9200 have native support for that. Moreover, it is also available in mid-range chipsets like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and Dimensity 1080.

That said, the S23 Ultra uses none of the sensors discussed above. Samsung unveiled an entirely new sensor for its ultimate smartphone of 2023, called ISOCELL HP2.

It is a 200MP flagship sensor specifically made for the S23 Ultra with a 1/1.3” sensor with 0.6µm pixels. This puts it between the HP1 and HP3, which have 1/1.22” and 1/1.4” sensor sizes, respectively. The new sensor takes 12.5MP photos by default with 16:1 pixel binning. Likewise, it will enable 8K recording at 30fps in contrast to 24fps on previous generations.

The rest of the camera setup is more or less the same. We are looking at two telephoto lenses with 3X and 10X optical zoom, respectively. While the initial leaks listed the two telephoto cameras as 12MP, they are officially listed as 10MP sensors.

Epic Night Photography

One of the main advantages of using a higher-megapixel camera is that it enhances digital zoom. With a higher megapixel, you can enlarge a certain portion of the image through cropping while also retaining considerable details.

And with the 200MP ISOCELL HP2, Samsung is claiming what it calls “Epic Night” photography. You can now capture the night sky in motion with the new Astro Hyperlapse built into the S23 Ultra.

In addition, you get clearer and smoother videos at night with the help of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and nose-reduction tech. The company has also worked on its night portraits.

On a side note, Samsung is also enabling 8K 30fps video recording on the S23 Ultra. Previously, the S22 Ultra could record 8K videos only at 24 fps.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy

After failing to overcome criticism about Exynos chips’ performance, Samsung has finally gone all Snapdragon with the new S23 series. As hinted by Qualcomm representative months before the February Unpacked event, the Galaxy S23 series would be an all-Snapdragon affair.

Samsung is using an overclocked version of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip on the S23 Ultra. The “Prime” Arm Cortex-X3 core, in particular, is clocked at a higher 3.36GHz against the usual 3.2GHz. Likewise, the Immortalis-based Adreno 740 is also said to have a higher clock speed of 719MHz on the S23 Ultra.

It is a bespoke version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 made specifically for Samsung’s flagship. As a result, it bears the “Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy” marketing terms.

This “Snapdragon for Galaxy” partnership is not a one-off thing and is rumored to extend to next year’s S24 Ultra too. According to the rumors, Samsung’s plan is to keep this partnership alive till it develops a more capable in-house chipset for its flagship smartphones.

Rest of the Specs

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features a 6.8-inch AMOLED 2X screen. It is the only model in the series to boast a QHD+ resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels. Likewise, it has an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 129Hz as well as an improved Vision Booster solution. Moreover, it boasts a peak brightness of 1750 nits.

Samsung S23 Ultra is among the first phones to be protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The phone has Armor Aluminum frames and IP68 dust and water resistance.

That aside, Samsung has not changed the design and build of the device. You get the same Armor Aluminum frames that we saw in the S22 Ultra.

It will pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. The phone ships with the latest One UI 5.1 skin based on Android 13. As expected, Samsung also provides at least 4 years of Android updates. The phone also has a built-in S Pen stylus.

Amazfit GTR Mini launched in Nepal with 14 days battery life

Amazfit has launched the Amazfit GTR Mini smartwatch in Nepal. Even though it’s a toned-down version of the premium GTR series, this watch still packs impressive specs such as an AMOLED display, 14 days of battery life, built-in GPS, and more. So let’s get to the specs, features, and official price in Nepal of Amazfit GTR Mini.

Amazfit GTR Mini Overview:

Design and Display

Since this is a “GTR” watch, after all, it has a circular body. Amazfit is emphasizing GTR Mini’s premium build quality, thanks to the stainless steel frame and button (crown). This 5 ATM water-resistant smartwatch also has a glazed back panel that comes in the same color as the silicone strap. At 24.6 grams, this thing is quite lightweight too.

Likewise, the screen on the GTR Mini is a curved 1.28-inch AMOLED panel. Along with a sharp 326 PPI pixel density, this display also gets an anti-fingerprint coating. Amazfit GTR Mini is available in three color options: Midnight Black, Misty Pink, and Ocean Blue.

Health and Fitness Tracking

Disappointingly, the GTR Mini brings Amazfit’s first-gen BioTracker PPG optical sensor. And not BioTracker 3.0 or 4.0, which you’d find on the company’s newer smartwatches like the GTR 4 and GTS 4. Anyway, it offers features like 24/7 monitoring of heart rate, SpO2, and stress levels. There’s also a one-tap measurement option for all three of them with a simple click.

Furthermore, this wearable can send alerts to the user in case of low/high heart rate, low oxygen levels, and high-stress situations too. Other health-tracking features include breathing exercises, PAI measurements, sleep, menstrual cycle tracking, etc.

As for fitness tracking, this smart smartwatch provides 126 sports modes in total. And it can also automatically detect 7 of them, including treadmills, outdoor running, elliptical, outdoor cycling, indoor walking, rowing machine, and walking.

OS and Connectivity

Amazfit GTR Mini runs on Zepp OS 2.0 and is loaded with several health, fitness, and lifestyle apps. It also supports Home Connect third-party apps and three games. In terms of customization, Amazfit offers 100+ watch faces including 11 animated ones here. This watch can display all sorts of app notifications, sedimentary reminders, and call alerts, too. However, you cannot pick up or make calls here.

The smartwatch relies on Bluetooth 5.2 technology for connectivity. It pairs with the Zepp app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices.

Moreover, the GTR Mini also has 5 satellite positioning systems for accurate positioning outdoors. The company claims improved location mapping with its patented circularly-polarized GPS antenna technology.

Battery and Others

Amazfit GTR Mini is fueled by a 280mAh battery that you can fill up in around 2 hours via a magnetic charger. On typical usage, Amazfit claims this watch can last up to 14 days. Or 7 days under heavy usage, and 25 hours with continuous GPS usage.
