Samsung's first Unpacked event of this year, where the Galaxy S23 series should be revealed, is scheduled for February 1. A new leak is now hinting at the camera specifications of the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The flagship smartphone is expected to offer improved portrait video quality. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is said to shoot portrait videos in 4K quality at 30 frames per second (fps). The handset is said to come equipped with a 200-megapixel quad rear camera unit. It is expected to be powered by a special edition of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

Known tipster Ice universe (@UniverseIce) on Weibo claimed that the upcoming Galaxy S3 Ultra will have improved portrait video mode. According to the tipster, the handset can record portrait videos in 4K quality at 30fps. If this leak turns out to be true, then it would be an upgrade over the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The predecessor can record only full-HD portrait videos at 30fps. The separation between subject and background is also said to be better in the upcoming device. He also claims that the thermal control of the smartphone is “relatively good”.

Recently, the tipster also said that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will come with a “night vision” camera.
