I keep getting a ton of bullshit responses from a Galaxy s24u group I belong to.
I am familiar with current AI tech and how phone mfg's are trying to embed it into their phone tech.
I recently went out to the eastern Sierras and took some night shots, including a few of the moon.
I'm being told that my phone doesn't have the capability to take the quality of pic that I uploaded to the Reddit page, and that I either downloaded the moon shot from another site or AI was somehow involved.
Nevermind that I have all AI and optimization turned off one my phone and don't even have cell service in Death Valley, which is where I went for my pics, after which I went back to Lone Pine to stay.
Anyway, here's the photo I took. I also used a tripod and phone holder and timed the shot. Only post processing was in the camera app. Minor editing and added a little warmth and color for the craters, and a tiny adjustment in contrast.

So I’m looking to buy a new phone that can also take nice photos, and in my budget I had decided on Galaxy s24u, haven’t bought it yet. So if this is a shot from s24u I’m sold. What zoom did you use? What settings?
Samsung got caught with its pants down by programming the camera software to resolve to s clear picture of the moon when it detects thet the user is trying to take one. That was in phones like my S23 that I’m using now. Don’t know if it’s been addressed or not.
I have a pixel 8a,8pro,9pro XL and they do some AI stuff too…but it don’t have to. You can have it not do that and then if you want to,clean it up in post processing. They also shoot RAW files if you want. I suggest it though and then you can transfer them to a PC to use backyard,Photoshop, Lightroom, gimp etc etc.
