Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is already available. April 16 was the best time to test this model’s camera phone as it was the rise of the pink moon [2022]† Taking pictures of the moon is really challenging because you have to zoom. You know what happens if you zoom too much when using a smartphone, right?
Is it worth buying this Samsung smartphone? – “Yes or no?” This is what people are saying on Twitterverse.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JANUARY 11: The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is on display at Samsung 837 on January 11, 2021 in New York City.
The giant Apple competitor, hailing from South Korea, launched this “advanced device” on February 25. A day later, Samsung started shipping its new Galaxy models.
But it seems that Galaxy S22 Ultra owners are not happy with any of the features offered by the successor to the S21. This is because the pictures taken by the zoom camera function are quite blurry.
The question here is, has the S22’s zoom feature been downgraded by Samsung?
The zoom function of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra actually a downgrade?
Samsung has not confirmed whether it has downgraded the zoom function of its new Galaxy S22 Ultra. Twitter leaker Alvin (@sondesix) claimed that the feature is less efficient compared to the version offered by S21 Ultra.

“The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s stabilization when capturing moon images and other objects at 20x or more speeds is incredible! On closer objects,” the computer engineer said sarcastically.
Other consumers who already have the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra also shared their negative experiences. One of them said he tried to capture the moon, but the final photo output is very spotty.

@sondesix even released some video clips to show the actual performance of the new S22 Ultra model when the 20x zoom camera function is activated.
Based on the images, the successor to the S21 Ultra can efficiently capture close objects.
But when focusing on a subject that is very far away, such as the moon, the image becomes quite blurry. You can view the video clips by clicking on the Twitter threat below.
