    Last security update

    It is only rumor and speculation that the August security update is the last monthly update. Even if it is the device will continue to receive quarterly security patches. In either case as long as the Play Store apps are maintained on the latest version there should be no issues.

    S23 Ultra

    I don't like how Samsung has been copying Apple and deleting features and the most basic of accessories, an included fast charger. The thing I've learned about Samsung is their devices launch with great features and promise and then the long awaited OS and security updates finally come and then...

    I do alot of mobile photography and find the cameras on my Note 20 Ultra exceptional. That large sensor, remarkable night mode and powerful zoom lens produce some impressive photos and videos.

    Note 20 Ultra camera

    I use the default 3:4/12 MP setting as opposed to the 108 MP which requires alot of sunlight to function properly and produces extra large photo files without much benefit. I keep the auto HDR, scene optimizer, scan document, shot suggestions and Scan QR codes all enabled.

    main cameri how do ad selfie to the shot

    The Note 8 had a nice set of special camera settings that Samsung took away like Sports Mode. With the upgrade to one of the recent OS updates the Note 20 series received the dual recording feature that allowed you to film while using the selfie and rear cameras at the same time.

    Camera Experience

    That huge 108 MP lens makes macro/close up shots challenging with the natural Bokeh and shallow depth of field. A good work around is to toggle on the document scan setting in the Scene Optimizer feature, enable the 2x zoom and pull your device back until all of your subject is in focus...

    Pixel 6 Pro vs Note 20 Ultra

    The Pixel 6 Pro looks pretty interesting all right but it's hard to get a good read on how good a product it really is due to the fanboy-like reviews that fail to highlight any deficits or gloss over issues. No device is perfect but you wouldn't know it by the majority of press. XDA Developer's...

    Blurry pics

    Have had this issue since you first received the phone or has it occurred since say a software or security update? One troubleshooting step would be clearing the camera app's cache.

With the Note 20 Ultra I find that the powerful zoom capabilities elevate my mobile photography game to a...
