Mm Equivalent for Samsung S23 Default Lens?

[William Baroo]

I have a Samsung S23. Not the S23 Ultra, which has different cameras.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of lens I should get to replicate the focal length of the main lens on this phone? I don't mean the selfie lens. There are three lenses on the back, and one is the default lens. That's the one I want to know about. Not the zoom or the wide-angle lens.

What they call wide, is a 24mm lens. What we call the wide, they call the ultra-wide for some weird reason. I just got the 23+ a week ago or so. So far I'm impressed with the camera on it. I think it's better than the iPhone 14 I traded in for it.

I found that info myself. Now I wonder if 24mm on the phone is similar to 24mm on a full frame digital camera. Guess I can take some shots with both and see.

My wife and I both got new phones over the last year. When she wanted to upgrade, I asked what she wanted, and she asked for the S22+, since it was the most expensive Android I was willing to spring for. I got the S23 recently.

Now I'm getting into photography, and I realize we spent money without understanding what we were getting. Until two days ago, my wife had no idea the S22+ had three rear lenses that served different purposes. She thought they all fired at once.

I told her the camera stuff made the phone expensive, and I said she needed to learn a little bit about photography in order to take advantage of it.

We travel, and we've bought the phones. No point in settling for really bad pictures.
