Gorilla Armor contains an average of 25% pre-consumer recycled content, as validated by UL Solutions in accordance with UL2809-2 Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content[ Pre-consumer recycled content as defined by UL Solutions is material that has never reached the end user, having been diverted from the waste stream during a manufacturing process.].

“Gorilla Armor brings Corning’s research and engineering prowess together with Samsung’s consumer-centric design and focus on user experience,” said David Velasquez, vice president and general manager, Corning® Gorilla® Glass. “This latest innovation simultaneously addresses both the need for durability and our increasing need for better optics – bringing the mobile phone experience of the future into the present.”

The launch of Galaxy S24 Ultra phones with Gorilla Armor follows a celebratory year for Samsung and Corning. Last year marked 50 years of industry-leading partnership for the companies. Samsung and Corning first partnered in 1973 to make televisions more accessible to consumers in Korea.

This same spirit of collaboration has been carried through half a century. Corning® Gorilla® Glass has been featured on countless Samsung devices, from some of the earliest Galaxy smartphones to the most recent, including the Galaxy S23 Series, Galaxy Z Fold5, and Galaxy Z Flip5, which all use Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2. The launch of Galaxy S24 Ultra devices with Gorilla Armor continues this longstanding relationship dedicated to creating world class innovations vital to the mobile consumer electronics industry.

Make Everyday Experiences Epic

Galaxy AI introduces meaningful intelligence aimed at enhancing every part of life, especially the phone’s most fundamental role: communication. When you need to defy language barriers, Galaxy S24 makes it easier than ever. Chat with another student or colleague from abroad. Book a reservation while on vacation in another country. It’s all possible with Live Translate[ Live Translate requires a network connection and Samsung Account login. Live Translate is only available on the pre-installed Samsung Phone app. Certain languages may require language pack download. Service availability may vary by language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.], two-way, real-time voice and text translations of phone calls within the native app. No third-party apps are required, and on-device AI keeps conversations completely private.

With Interpreter, live conversations can be instantly translated on a split-screen view so people standing opposite each other can read a text transcription of what the other person has said. It even works without cellular data or Wi-Fi.

For messages and other apps, Chat Assist can help perfect conversational tones to ensure communication sounds as it was intended: like a polite message to a coworker or a short and catchy phrase for a social media caption[ Tone suggesting feature in Chat Assist requires a network connection and Samsung Account login. Must meet length requirements to activate feature. Service availability may vary by language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.]. AI built into Samsung Keyboard can also translate messages in real-time in 13 languages[ Translating feature in Chat Assist may require Samsung Account login.

Service availability may vary by language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed. ] uses AI and Speech-to-Text technology to transcribe, summarize and even translate recordings.

Communication isn’t the only way Galaxy S24 series takes the fundamental benefits of the phone into the future. Online search has transformed nearly every aspect of life. Galaxy S24 marks a milestone in the history of search as the first phone to debut intuitive, gesture-driven Circle to Search[ Results may vary depending on visual matches. Requires internet connection. Users may need to update Android to the latest version. Product functionality may be dependent on your app and device settings. Some functions may not be compatible with certain apps. Availability of the service varies by country and language. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.] with Google. To give Galaxy users an incredible new tool, Galaxy turned to the worldwide leader of search, Google, and opened up new forms of discovery with a simple gesture. With a long press on the home button, users can circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on Galaxy S24’s screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. Seeing a beautiful landmark in the background of a friend’s social media post or a surprising fun fact on YouTube Shorts can quickly become an accurate search to learn more – without having to leave that app. And depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions. It’s that easy. And that epic.




Unleash Creativity to Discover the World in New Ways

Galaxy S24 series’s ProVisual Engine[ AI Zoom is applied to distances between digital zoom lengths. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.] is a comprehensive suite of AI-powered tools that transform image capturing abilities and maximize creative freedom every step of the way, from setting up a shot all the way to sharing it on social. Gone are shaky, pixelated images taken from far away. Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with new 5x optical zoom lens, works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x[ 3x and 5x distances are optical zoom. 2x and 10x distances are optical quality zoom.] magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor.

When recording videos, both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyzes gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.



 

After great shots are captured, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools enable simple edits like erase, re-compose, and remaster. For easier and more efficient optimizations, Edit Suggestion[ Edit Suggestion is compatible with JPG, PNG, GIF and MP4 formats. Edit results and quality may vary depending on the photography or filming condition. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.] uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. To give users even more creative control and freedom, Generative Edit[ Generative Edit requires a network connection and Samsung Account login. Editing with Generative Edit results in a resized photo up to 12MP. A visible watermark is overlaid on the image output upon saving in order to indicate that the image is generated by AI. The accuracy and reliability of the generated output is not guaranteed.] can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. When a picture is crooked, AI will fill in the borders. When an object needs to be slightly moved to be in the perfect position, AI lets users adjust the position of the subject and generates a perfectly blended background in its original spot. Anytime Galaxy S24 deploys generative AI to amplify an image, a watermark will appear on the image and in metadata. And if an action-packed video needs to be slowed down, new Instant Slow-mo can generate additional frames based on movements to smoothly slow down action-packed moments for a more detailed look.


 
To ensure every image stuns at every stage, Super HDR reveals lifelike previews before the shutter is ever pressed. And while capturing memories is an essential phone feature, sharing memories with the world is just as meaningful. Now, third-party social apps make the most of Galaxy’s AI-powered camera system. Premium Galaxy S series camera features now integrate directly with mobile apps in HDR to level up social sharing[ Some social media apps may not support Super HDR. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed.]. When it’s time to find an image in Gallery or Instagram feed and reels, photos and videos are also shown in Super HDR for a more lifelike range of brightness, color and contrast by analyzing highlighted section of the images.

Galaxy’s Most Intelligent Experience Ever, Powered by Premium Performance

As AI becomes a more prominent part of everyday life, performance power must excel to meet the demands. Gaming. Heavy-duty video recording and editing. Jumping between five apps to plan a trip.

Review : Samsung Galaxy S23 Series a Must-Have Tool for Vloggers and Content Creators

10:36:00 AM




Good day Kwento Ni Toto readers and tech enthusiasts! Today, we're going to share our not-so-nitty-gritty review of the latest gadget that has become an essential tool for vloggers: smartphones. Particularly, we'll be discussing the top-of-the-line smartphones that are part of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.

Not to step-over with the DSLR Cameras, these smartphones can now serve as alternatives to bulky and heavy DSLR cameras, allowing vloggers to conveniently record their content while on the go without attracting too much attention. Carrying a DSLR can be inconvenient and draw unwanted attention, making smartphones an ideal choice for vlogging purposes. You can also add it's concealment ability, unlike the DSLR camera.

 
For aspiring vloggers, like us, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, consists of three (3) top quality smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus, and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, is really a must-have. For us these three (3) models can be described as good, better, and best, respectively.

 
Let's dive into the details.

Like any other top-tier phone, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series boasts several outstanding features. Most of these features, such as the screen, camera, operating system, connectivity, and memory, are relatively similar across the models. Of course, there are few differences and you can not actually differentiate with just a mere glance.


Samsung Galaxy S23

Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 

 
For non-tech-savvy individuals, the camera and memory are usually the most important aspects to consider. A better camera and larger storage capacity are desirable. However, for those seeking functionality and performance, factors like the smartphone's operating system, camera lenses (including the number of megapixels for the front and rear cameras), data storage capacity, and user experience are more significant. That's where most of the details pops out.

Design and Aesthetics

In terms of design, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series offers interesting variations. The S23 model, for instance, is great for those with petite hands, easy to hold, while the S23 Plus and S23 Ultra cater to individuals with larger hands. Although the reasons for the differences in design are unclear, personally, I prefer the corner design of the S23 Ultra, which has a more rectangular shape and a masculine appearance. The other two models lean towards a more feminine aesthetic.
 

 

Camera Placement, Design, and Lenses

Smartphone cameras are continually improving, featuring different lenses that benefit photographers and videographers alike. As mentioned earlier, these devices are convenient to carry and use when covering events or vlogging on the streets, minimizing the risk of theft. However, what's intriguing is the design of the cameras, as each brand has its own unique approach.




 

In the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, I appreciate the separate design of the camera lenses. Unlike other smartphones that try to integrate and squeeze them into a frame at the back of the phone, for Samsung it opted for individual camera holes, much more pleasing to the eye. It's more likely compared to an artwork that boosts its individuality. Thus, providing a better user experience. One drawback, though, is that the camera lenses protrude from the back of the smartphone, making it unstable when placed on a flat surface. However, using a smartphone case or cover can help level it and it can also be a good problem because these phone can easily pick-up. As for the lenses, I find them excellent in terms of clarity and image quality. Here are some sample videos and photos taken during event coverage.

 

 The super telephoto lens of the S23 Ultra is particularly impressive. Imagine capturing videos and photos from the upper box of SM MOA Arena—the camera's zoom capability remains effective despite the considerable distance. However, images may become slightly blurry and grainy at maximum zoom. Nonetheless, this feature is highly appreciated by bloggers and vloggers who cover events.







Regarding the S23 and S23 Plus, while they can still capture distant shots, both photos and videos may appear slightly blurry, especially during action sequences.


 


These smartphone series features a quad-camera cluster on the back, comprising a 200 MP main/wide lens, a 10 MP periscope lens, a 10 MP telephoto lens, and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. Additionally, the front (selfie) camera is equipped with a 12 MP CMOS image sensor.




The standout feature of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is its telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom, which is currently the best in the smartphone industry. This telephoto camera also enables an impressive 100x zoom feature, allowing you to capture even the tiniest details, such as the pores on your skin. This remarkable zoom capability is achieved through the integration of a periscope lens, designed specifically for powerful zoom capabilities. The combination of these technologies and lenses results in a truly powerful camera.








Other Exciting Camera Features

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series offers a range of other camera features that will surely enhance your photography and videography experience.

 


 The Bixby Vision which you need to download in order to use this feature of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. This is similar to Google lens. This allows you to get information about the object, copy text from the image, translate language, identify objects or it can read about it, all can be done by simply pointing the camera to an object.


 

More camera and video feature in the MORE tab of the camera, like the Expert Raw, the Pro cam and Pro Video, Night mode, cam setting for Food, the Panorama option, the Director's View, and you have the options of Slow motion and Hyperlapse, and protrait video. You can definite enjoy experimenting on your next photos and videos.

The Operating System

All models in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, ensuring smooth system performance. This processor is currently one of the best in the smartphone market, according to my readings on other reviews. Though we cannot dive deeper into its details of the processor it is guaranted that this phone is on its utmost superb performance. Whether you're browsing through apps, playing games, watching movies, or capturing photos and videos, you'll enjoy a seamless user experience.



 
The series also runs on Android Version 13, accompanied by One UI version 5.1. This combination delivers an enhanced user interface, further improving the overall user experience.

Other Noteworthy Features

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra also boasts IP68 water resistance, meaning the phone remains safe even when submerged in water. It can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, making it perfect for worry-free use at the beach or around water.

The materials used in the Samsung Galax S23 Ultra are recycled or repurposed glass and PET film as part of their commitment for the environment, an eco-conscious materials. I think this is their first eco-friendly produced model.


 

Another feature is the S-pen of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, that makes it a lot easier when doing some details works on arts or simply writing because you prefer to write rather than type it, especially if you have a huge hand.

Battery Life and Charging

Under normal usage, the battery of the Galaxy S23 series can last for approximately two days. However, if you frequently engage in activities such as photo and video shooting, movie watching, gaming, music streaming, and internet browsing, the battery life may reduce to around 12 to 14 hours or even less.


 

When it comes to charging, the smartphone can reach a full charge within 1 to 1.5 hours. If you're planning a gig or an event, make sure to plug in your Galaxy S23 series device 2 to 3 hours beforehand to ensure it's fully charged.

Price and availability

Of course, all quality products entails good materials and most of the times good materials and technology comes with a price. So, if you have read about the features and its capacity, I'm sure prices does not matter at all as long as you get the quality and the performance you need.

For the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it is priced at ₱89,990.00 for the 512GB capacity or you can go lower with its 256GB capacity for only ₱81,990.00. Just note that there's only an ₱8,000 difference for a 256GB storage capacity. So, if you're going to buy opt for the bigger storage capacity.

 
For the Galaxy S23 Plus it is priced at ₱68,990.00. Almost the same quality with just less of some special features. If you could not get the best, then go for the better, which is the Galaxy S23.

For the Galaxy S23 it is priced at ₱57,990.00, a good choice for a start.

Some stores have different freebies when you buy these smartphones.

Our final verdict   

So what we say about these smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series offers vloggers and tech enthusiasts, like us, a powerful tool for their content creation needs. With impressive camera capabilities, advanced operating systems, sleek designs, and other exciting features, these smartphones are a top choice in the market. Whether you prioritize capturing stunning photos, shooting high-quality videos, or enjoying a seamless user experience, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has you covered.

Remember great power comes with great responsibility and having this powerful tool for content creation gives us the responsibility to produce well-rounded content for the viewers!
