Samsung introduced astrophotography mode with the Galaxy S22 series and then brought it over to the Galaxy S23 series. The feature enables you to take high-quality, long-exposure images of the night sky, provided you have a clear view. The constellation overlay function also helps locate nearby stars and celestial bodies.
