Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is already available. Apr. 16 was the best time to test the camera phone of this model as it was the rising of the Pink Moon [2022]. Taking images of the moon is really challenging, as it requires zooming. You know what will happen if you zoom too much if you are using a smartphone, right?
Is it worth buying this Samsung smartphone? - "yea" or "nay?" Here's what the people say on Twitterverse.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 11: The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is displayed at Samsung 837 on January 11, 2021 in New York City.
The giant Apple competitor hailed from South Korea launched this "advanced handset" on Feb. 25. A day after, Samsung began shipping its new Galaxy models.
But, it seems like Galaxy S22 Ultra owners are not happy with one of the features offered by S21's successor. This is because the zoom cam function's captured photos are quite blurry.
The question here is, is the zoom feature of the S22 downgraded by Samsung?
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's Zoom Feature Actually a Downgrade?
Samsung did not confirm if it downgraded the zoom feature of its new Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, Twitter leaker Alvin (@sondesix) claimed that the feature is less efficient compared to the version offered by S21 Ultra.

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

@sondesix even released some video clips to show the actual performance of the new S22 Ultra model when the 20x zoom cam feature is activated.
Based on the footage, the successor of the S21 Ultra can capture close objects efficiently.
But, when it is focused on a very far subject, such as the moon, the image gets pretty blurry. You can watch the video clips by clicking the Twitter threat below.
