Can you post some examples. The OP's 3x didn't look too bad to my eyes.
Some low light pic stock vs gcam
Anyway, not really pleased with the low light performances of this device...

Now a little experiment, trying to shoot in 50mpx.

Lot of noise here, did You turn on HDR+E or just HDR? It makes difference, if HDR+E, set number of frames to 50 in Additional Settings->HDR Number of frames, it will make image less noise. You can also switch to matteo18 lib for night shots(lib patcher settings), it's better lib for night shots. I must do some test again, i think my results with GCAM was better.Some low light pic stock vs gcam

Here is yet another impressive shot showing off the Resolution of the Camera / Sensor system of the Galaxy S23 Ultra:
Zoom in to full size, and pay attention to the 3 watches on the wall (just behind the back of the man to the left)
Zoomed in, you can see the Hands on the Watch!

DEFINITELY NOT
This time You should be happy with results in night.Share nm on and off, turn on scene optimizer when using nm off, also turn on soft pic to medium
Night shots MI10 Ultra 50 MPIX vs S23 Ultra 200 MPIX. Samsung tends to overexposure photos, especially in night. Xiaomi shot is with daylight config, so image can be even better.

Ive seen latest ice universe photos, he has different firmware, they are significantly better then current firmwares especially night mode ones
Firstly thanks for posting so many samples. The thing is , the more I look the more I'm impressed - even on this latest sample, the Samsung shot appears much brighter, while Xiaomi shot is a bit under (to my liking anyway). What impresses me is when resized to the same size of the Xiaomi (to compare apples with apples), there is a huge amount of details, even with that silly Samsung aggressive image treatment (sharpening etc). Then, that 'overexposed' shot reveals the lantern details one would expect to be completely lost.Night shots MI10 Ultra 50 MPIX vs S23 Ultra 200 MPIX.

resized, darkened a notch
So that sensor has a big potential - not as true 200MP as the final image, yet a very good 50 or so (not a big fan of '12MP vision').
Honestly these photos doesn't seem to be taken from a smartphone...Ive seen latest ice universe photos, he has different firmware, they are significantly better then current firmwares especially night mode onesNight shots MI10 Ultra 50 MPIX vs S23 Ultra 200 MPIX.

Just wait 1 week or so or use gcam, problem solved.
