We have got a working GCam port for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which was recently launched. The phone is a mid ranger phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
It comes with a quad camera setup, out of which the primary camera is 200MP, 10MP Periscope Telephoto sensor, 10MP telephoto sensor and a 12MP ultrawide lens. The stock camera captures decent photos but not like this Galaxy S23 Ultra GCam port. Try it and see the difference by yourself.
