My previous phone Galaxy S21 Ultra had a 2x portrait zoom option.

On my new phone Galaxy S23 Ultra this feature has been removed.

Does anyone know why or how to get it back? What do you think about this decision from Samsung?

The standard lens is to wide for portraits and faces gets distorted. But I'm in most cases to close to the subject to use the 3x. I love the 2x digital zoom option. And I can't understand why Samsung removed this option. Also the 200mp sensor would be ideal for digital 2x zoom. Iphone recently introduced 2x digital zoom and made kind of a big deal out of it.

Does anyone of you have the S23 (not ultra) or S22 Ultra? Is there a 2x option in portrait mode?
