On the 1st, multiple domestic online communities featured a post titled "Samsung Galaxy phone causing a sensation overseas." The post included an 18-second video capturing Taylor Swift's concert performance.

The video was uploaded last month on the Instagram account of a Taylor Swift fan, 'queen.taylor.swiftie.' The account owner wrote about the video, "Samsung (Galaxy) S23 Ultra should use this as an advertisement. It's truly insane." They also highly praised the Galaxy S23 Ultra, saying, "The quality is on a whole different level."

The videographer was watching Taylor Swift from a high vantage point in a vast concert venue, so at the beginning of the video, the singer appears like a tiny dot. However, by using the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 'Space Zoom' feature, which can magnify up to 100 times, the video zooms in to show Taylor Swift's face and passionate singing as if watching right in front of her. As of the 1st, this video has received over 1,497,000 likes and more than 4,100 comments.

One netizen who saw the post commented, "iPhone users might say it's an unnecessary feature, but if Apple introduces this feature in the iPhone 29 Pro Max, they would scream like children." Other comments included, "Try taking a picture of the moon at night. It's insane," "Time to switch to Samsung," and "As an iPhone user, I envy the S23's camera quality and zoom." Additionally, a netizen presumed to be a BTS fan wrote, "This is why Yoongi (Suga) said 'Only Galaxy (Galaxy only).'"

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is Samsung Electronics' highest-spec premium smartphone. It features the highest-ever 200-megapixel camera in smartphone history and a 6.8-inch Quad HD 120Hz edge display.
