The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has one of the most impressive camera setups on any recent smartphone, making it our pick for the best camera phone. Chief among the top features is a main camera that can take images at up to 200MP resolution. But since shooting in 12MP (and 50MP) is also available, users have a surprising amount of choice. So how are you meant to use these different camera modes?
After trying out both of these photos modes, I'd say the 200MP setting on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a niche feature. While it offers nine times as much detail as the default 12MP photos, it's less practical to use most of the time, and even when it is a viable option, 200MP won't always produce a better-looking photo.
