Camera comparison Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Galaxy S22 Ultra shows that the new one is better, but sometimes you need to look for the difference

The authors of the GSM Arena resource compared the photo capabilities of the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with its predecessor. Unlike the previous comparison, this time we have shots in high enough quality that allow you to compare the details. However, unfortunately, there are not many photos.
To begin with, it is worth noting that in low or poor lighting, the new model really shows itself better. True, this is partly due to the sharpening of images, which not everyone likes.
As for the comparison in good lighting, there is no particular difference, except that the pictures on the new smartphone are less contrasting and saturated in colors.
If we compare photos in 200 and 50 megapixel modes, we can note not only higher detail in the first case, but also increased contrast.
Recall also, we have already seen the comparison of the Galaxy S23 Ultra with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Sony in their repertoire. In the first photo, the flagship smartphone Xperia 1 V is very similar to the previous several generations

Sony may present its next-generation flagship smartphone at the end of this month at the MWC 2023 event, but today the first photo of the Xperia 1 V has hit the Web.
As you can see, Sony will continue to use the same design that they switched to with the Xperia 1 II in 2020. Compared to the current model, there are some changes in the design of the camera, but they are minor. It also seems that the module itself has become larger, although compared to some modern devices, it is still very tiny.
You can also see that the lower camera, as in the current generation, will be a periscope module. According to the leaks, the Xperia 1 V will receive a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which is logical. Given the parameters of past models of the line, we can also expect a large amount of memory and not the largest screen by modern standards.
