A Stunning View of Lollapalooza from 3.2km Away
Galaxy S23 Ultra's Zoom Feature Captures Social Media's Attention Again
A video filmed from a high-rise observation deck about 3.2 kilometers away from the stage at the major music festival "Lollapalooza" in Chicago, United States, has gone viral on social media. What is even more remarkable is that the footage was shot using a smartphone.
According to the Hindustan Times on August 12 (local time), influencer Brian released a short video on his Instagram account, along with the caption, "If you have Samsung, you don't need to go to Lollapalooza."

The video captures the scene at the concert held in Grant Park, Chicago, in July, featuring singer Dominic Fike on stage. At first, it appears to have been filmed near the stage, but as the camera gradually zooms out, the audience and the surrounding area of the venue come into view, eventually revealing the high-rise buildings in downtown Chicago.
In the final scene, even a spider on the observation deck window where the videographer stood is clearly captured, surprising viewers. It was confirmed that the video was filmed from the 94th floor of the "360 Chicago" observation deck, located in the heart of Chicago.
After the video was released, it garnered over 6 million views on social media, and related posts received more than 500,000 likes. In the comments, Brian revealed that the device used to film the video was Samsung Electronics' "Galaxy S23 Ultra."
The Galaxy S23 Ultra, released in February 2023, is equipped with a telephoto lens capable of up to 10x optical zoom. With the "Space Zoom" feature, it can zoom in up to 100 times. Thanks to this function, it was possible to vividly capture the concert stage even from a great distance.
This video is being regarded both domestically and internationally as "a case that challenged the limits of smartphone camera technology," and it has also increased interest in Samsung Galaxy products. It is reported that among some domestic fans, there is a growing trend of renting this device specifically for attending concerts.
Online users who watched the video showed enthusiastic interest, commenting, "It's not a smartphone, it's on the level of a telescope," "I am once again impressed by the power of Samsung products," and "I think I'll switch back to Galaxy."
The official Samsung Electronics Mobile US account also drew attention by commenting on the video, "Wherever you are, you can have the best seat," adding the hashtag '#withGalaxy'.
