Sorry it took me longer to get the video out - wanted to be 100% sure I'd tested it myself before I talked about it! 👌

I honestly thought this was gonna take a negative turn. I have a new level of respect towards Arun now 🙏🏻 Thank you for being fair and doing proper research, twitter could never.

Spotted a familiar face at 7:39. Haha! Great explanation as always, Arun! Super in-depth 👏🏻

The biggest worry here, at least for me, is that most people just are not aware of how much processing occurs when they take photos on their phones. So, when Samsung advertises that it can take a clear moonshot, it gives the impression that the camera can capture, with clarity, objects as far away as the moon and this is supposed to be a next-gen mind-blowing feature that is supposed to give it a leg up on the competition.

Tech nerds see through it but for average consumers, what might sway their decision making is supposed to be a general capability to shoot super clear shots for objects far away and that just is not present here. It's misleading marketing.

I think image processing and correction is fine as long as the photo takers have the option to decide between enhanced photos (for blurry text, things like removing wires, etc.) and genuine, authentic photos. Both have their place, and there are only issues when you're forced into the former without the option for the latter.

Well, that and advertising software processing as high-quality optical cameras!

Give this man award.. this is exactly what tech channel are supposed to do

[kinnexion]

I would just like to moon-tion that I loved all the cheesy moon puns. It was really de-moon-strative of Arun’s incredible moon-tal capacity for top quality jokes that make us giggle

[saminmalik]

1:08 That moon swapping scene had me dying🤣🤣🤣

Our brains do the same thing automatically, we assume details where there are none.

[BL]

Fun fact: I've heard about this ever since the S21 Ultra came out, and for some reason, this news is appearing once again

[MCHdesu]

This was very informative. I have been a long term samsung fan and was worried when I saw this video. But you cleared it up for us. Thanks man, you've earned a sub.

[lisar]

that is so shady...I have a few toes in the "they are tricking us" camp. Not rabidly but slightly in that direction. Your intrepid dedication to testing the hypothesis in such detail is truly chefs kiss!

[emanuelneiconi]

This is the BEST explanation and review of this whole "debacle" I've seen so far! Spot on! Completely agree with you - Sammy should not have marketed the feature the way they did; that is what made people feel cheated; however, at the end of the day, it's not faking results, but using AI to make them better...

[DipJyotiDeka]

Glad that Arun is investigating it in such detail.
It can be great.
Imagine added texture in leaves, flowers, clothes, paper, rocks, fur in your photos.

[Archipelagoes]

That's what we should call doing our own research.
Kudos to you, great insights.

[benyokum]

Honestly, I appreciate your incredible effort and scientific approach to test and prove. It’s insane 😂

[SMILY_Dude]

Just got my S23 Ultra recently. I love the camera setup and how instant photos taken in a rush turn out looking far better than I expected. I don't mind the subtle tweaks at all and if it makes an image look better and closer to my reality, well then why not? I'd rather look back on good photos than bad, blurred ones.
Great video Arun, always enjoy all your content :)

Ever since cameras have to make an interpretation of the colors and light from film days, there has always been a matter of subjetivity in the maker of the film, sensors and now AI. It's kind of hard to know where the limit is tho. The good thing is that some manufacturers are giving the option to turn off, and you can always use RAW if you want none of it.

[tushardm]

The "if" condition to check if it's a moon in their code is working out great XD
