So far, we have not just been busy reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra but enjoying at the same time. Rather than being a technical article, we wanted to talk about the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Nightography: how exactly it works and what’s the end result like.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Nightography

Nightography? What’s That?

Night Sight. Nightography. So many terms for something you capture picture in the night but at the same time it all means the same. In this case as well. The Nightography is basically their own “twist” on low-light performance as they have the top shelf hardware and so on. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra being the Ultra that it is, has a 2.4um pixel sensor and that means it has the ability to capture more light and data, optimizing the light and details as you shoot both photos and videos. The 2x faster NPU which it has under the hood is also capable of 16-bit RAW support and it is also the hardware that plays a huge role in Samsung’s Computational Photography.

The Result

We decided to take a quick impromptu trip with a friend of ours, Miriam, to take some pictures in the heart of KL at a place we all know very well: Kwai Chai Hong and here are the shots below. For the most part, the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is an absolute delight to use and you can see how it controls the lighting and give a balance evenly. The ultrawide camera is definitely a lot better than I remembered and so if you play to shoot some perspective shots, you are going to have some good time.

Space Zoom

This is a pretty much a Party trick but it isnt going to stop you from playing with it, so we tested in two different situations: trying to capture the text on the lantern from afar and doing the moon shot.

Overall Experience

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra does have what it takes: a flagship and time and time again Samsung proves it with their phones. While this is a great phone to shoot with, there are somethings that I am not a fan of. Even after hitting the shutter, the phone does take a good few seconds to capture image, which might make you miss some moments and during my time I did. When I took a picture and assuming it took the picture, I immediately moved my phone around only to realize the phone took the picture when I moved. This wasn’t an issue with the S21 Ultra but I suspect it has to do with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s ISP.

As for the rest of the pictures, it was alright – and I am glad I could still capture some pictures I personally love and would post on our socials.

Thanks to Miriam for tagging along with us and also being a fun sport in our shoot as she too was testing the S22 Series which you can check out in her site.
