- Tipster Ice Universe claims Samsung has removed the famous AI-enabled Moon shot from the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
- This has been noticed after the recent One UI 6.0 update.
- But some users say that the feature is still available on their Galaxy S23 Ultra units.
Samsung’s top-end flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, has a feature that lets you capture almost-realistic pictures of the moon. This even became such a big issue with people saying the Moon shots are completely fake. Samsung responded saying it does use AI but the result is a mix of multiple images, and visual enhancements. The latest on it is that Samsung has apparently removed the moon shot feature after the latest One UI 6.0 update.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Moon shot not the same anymore
According to a post on X by tipster Ice Universe, Samsung seems to have removed the AI Moon feature from the Galaxy S23 Ultra. This is said to have happened after Samsung rolled out the One UI 6.0 update. The tipster also shared an image of the moon captured by his Galaxy S23 Ultra to show that the feature isn’t working. It isn’t officially confirmed though if Samsung has actually removed it.
if you go through the replies, there are some users who say that the feature is still working on their S23 Ultra. Some shared camera samples as well to show that the AI moon is still available on the device. It maybe that the feature isn’t working for some users but Samsung is yet to address it. There’s also no update from the tipster on this issue.
Samsung One UI 6.0 update
The One UI 6.0 update is a major one since it brings the latest Android 14 OS to Samsung phones. The update is also baked with AI features similar to what Apple and Google also offer. One of these is ‘AI Image Clipping’ that lets you cut objects from a photo and turn them into stickers. You can also resize the sticker after pasting them on another image.
The Galaxy Enhance-X app is also updated with photo-editing tools like sharpening older photos, and new AI features such as ‘Sky Guide’ that can identify constellations and stars from night sky photos.
One UI 6.0 update has started rolling out to several Samsung devices from the flagship to the mid-range segments.
