The Galaxy S23 is the next generation of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, with the flagship being the Galaxy S23 Ultra. With a powerful camera system and high specifications, the Samsung device has entered the market to compete with the best smartphones in the world. Despite this, the line is still missing some features and with the next update, the South Korean company will add Highly requested feature: Portrait mode with 2x zoom.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Swe, Galaxy S23 Plus, and Galaxy S23 Ultra will receive an update in May with optimizations for HDR and low-light image capture. At the moment, the company has not confirmed when the 2x zoom portrait mode will appear on smartphones.
Users ask for 2x zoom in portrait mode as 1x zoom will be too wide and 3x zoom too narrow. The lack of 2x zoom limits the image-capturing options that Galaxy S23 owners can capture in portrait mode. As you can see in the image below (in Korean), Samsung has officially confirmed the update.

The novelty will reach the Galaxy S23 line in the next software update. Since the next update is already planned, it is expected that 2x zoom in portrait mode will appear on smartphones from late May to early June..

For those with a Galaxy S22 model: Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t confirmed if the Galaxy S22 line will receive an update with 2x zoom in portrait mode. Nothing prevents the South Korean manufacturer from releasing an update for the previous generation of its smartphones, since very often support for older models lasts for several years. Usually, some new items are exclusive to the latest models, while others arrive with a slight delay. It remains only to wait for confirmation from the company.
