6. Clip objects from pictures and videos

8. Download Expert RAW for astrophotography
Download Samsung’s Expert RAW – an advanced camera feature to shoot and edit pictures. Expert RAW images are uncompressed digital images with multi-exposure HDR. Its biggest benefit is the camera clicks a multi-frame 16-bit raw image with finer details. It also provides more flexibility to edit pictures using Lightroom or Photoshop. Expert RAW also aids in choosing astrophotography, where one can capture the night sky for four to ten minutes. Also, one can use the additional Sky guide, which indicates the location of the constellations and clusters easily.

9. Opt for fast charging
The Galaxy 23 can be charged using both wireless and wired methods. To ensure the device is up-to-date, it’s recommended to update its software. Speed charging is possible by using a Samsung fast charger and turning on the Fast Charging feature (available on certain phone models). Please note that this feature only works with Samsung-approved adapters. Use compatible chargers that support wireless charging. For the fastest charging experience, use a power delivery USB that supports super-fast charging.

10. Activate new security features in case of loss or theft
Secure confidential and private folders by signing into Samsung Knox. Go to secure lock settings and set it up to automatically wipe the data in case of a specific number of failed login attempts. Be cautious while setting this up so that the data is not erased accidentally. In the Secure lock settings, one can lock the network, which ensures that the network settings cannot be changed. In case of theft, it makes it easier to locate the phone. Ensure the PIN is complex, as expert hackers can open biometric locks.
