Solo, Gizmology – Last July, the Gizmologi editorial team took a road trip from Jakarta with the main destination being the city of Solo in Central Java, as part of the program My Gadget My Adventure. We visited iconic places and hidden gems in Solo and its surroundings while trying out the latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone.
Amidst the rich cultural heritage and architectural beauty of Solo, the Galaxy S25 Edge stands out as a device capable of capturing every detail with incredible precision. Equipped with a 200MP main camera, this Samsung flagship smartphone is the Gizmologi team's go-to tool for capturing the subtle textures of batik and the unique heritage buildings in the Laweyan and De Tjolomadoe areas.
As part of our My Gadget My Adventure travel program, we tested the Galaxy S25 Edge's camera capabilities in a variety of shooting scenarios—from the colorful, narrow alleys of Laweyan Batik Village to the vintage industrial buildings of a former sugar factory in De Tjolomadoe. The result? Sharp, clear photos that impressively capture the character of the subjects.
High Resolution for Sharp Textures
Using the 200MP High Resolution mode, the Galaxy S25 Edge successfully captures small elements like the fibers of batik cloth and the wood grain on antique doors. Even when zoomed in, details remain clearly visible without losing sharpness.
The ProVisual Engine technology ensures stable photos with minimal noise, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. We can see the batik motifs in their entirety and detail. This is especially helpful for content that seeks to deeply showcase the beauty of culture, such as that of Solo.
Tips for Travel Photography with the Galaxy S25 Edge
Here are some tips you can apply if you want to capture the beauty of batik and historic buildings with the Galaxy S200 Edge's 25MP camera:
1. Use High Resolution Mode During the Day
The 200MP mode is optimal for use in sufficient lighting, especially during the day. The results will be sharper and more realistic.
2. Use Grid Lines for Composition
Enable the grid feature in the viewfinder on the Galaxy S25 Edge to help create symmetrical compositions, especially when photographing architecture with strong line elements such as windows, pillars, or roof tiles.
3. Approach the Texture
For batik, try taking a closer shot to see the motif clearly. The Galaxy S25 Edge's camera is capable of capturing detail without blurring, even when the subject is close.
4. Use the AI Enhancement Feature
After shooting, you can instantly enhance your photos with the built-in AI Enhancement feature. Color tones become more vibrant without over-editing.
5. Angle Experiment
Don't hesitate to shoot from various angles—from below, above, or even sideways. This camera maintains accurate color and detail even from extreme angles.
Not Just a Camera, But a Cultural Documentation Tool
The 200MP camera on the Galaxy S25 Edge isn't just about high resolution. It's more than that, it's a crucial documentation tool for capturing Indonesia's rich cultural heritage. Amidst modernization, features like this bridge the gap between technology and the preservation of local heritage.
With its lightweight, slim design, and powerful performance, the Galaxy S25 Edge is the ideal travel companion. No need to lug around a bulky professional camera for stunning results. Just one device can capture everything perfectly.
For those looking to capture aesthetic moments during vacations or cultural explorations, the Galaxy S25 Edge is worth considering. Its combination of a 200MP camera, AI features, and slim design make it a go-to for today's content creators.
