New video capture features, including the ability to record in 8K at 30 frames per second, are coming with the Galaxy S23 series (previous models topped out at 24fps). In addition to this, a leakster Ice Universe asserts that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will feature an upgraded portrait video mode.

The S22 Ultra can only record videos in portrait mode at a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per second, however, there are rumors that this may increase to 4K at 30 frames per second. In addition to this, the separation between the subject and the background will become clearer.

It has been announced that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will be the first (and for the time being, only) phone to include an ISOCELL HP2 sensor.

It is unclear at this time whether or not these improvements will be available on the other two Galaxy S23 versions. Although they all feature the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the Ultra is the only one that has the brand-new ISOCELL HP2 200MP sensor. Instead of 40MP sensors, the S22 and S22+ will employ 50MP sensors.

Anyway, Ice Universe also adds that the thermals of the Galaxy S23 Ultra are “relatively good.” This should suggest that the new flagship doesn’t heat up very much while filming in these more demanding video modes.  On February 1, around two weeks from now, the S23 series will be introduced to the public for the first time in an official sense.
