Earlier this year, Samsung's 'Go The S-tra Mile' photography contest was first introduced together with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series

To kickstart the contest, Samsung invited six professional photographers to capture the beauty of Malaysia's hidden gems using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Looking at the final showcase from all the contest participants, it's safe to say that the Galaxy S series continues to impress with its innovative camera features.

For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series features a 200MP camera that brings out spectacular details in every photo. The smartphone series' Nightography feature also enables users to take crisp and clear night selfies, portraits with stunning bokeh effects, as well as sharp videos with reduced noise even in low light environments.
