Samsung reveals which One UI 7 camera features are coming to your Galaxy phone
Refreshed camera app UI and custom filters for many models
The One UI 7 update features a completely new camera app interface as one of its main changes. The UI redesign places important controls at the bottom of the screen for improved one-handed usability, most helpful on big phones like the Galaxy Ultra series and tablets.
The new custom filter feature, which came with the Galaxy S25 series, is also coming to these same models. It allows users to generate personalized photo filters using their own images — a feature somewhat similar to Apple’s Photographic Styles, but with more customization options.
Galaxy S25 features trickling down to older flagships
- Log video and exposure monitor: This feature will only come to the Galaxy S24 series. Log video recording is aimed at content creators and allows for greater control during color grading in post-production.
- Motion Photo: Coming to the S24 series, S24 FE, and the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, this captures a few seconds of video before and after a photo is taken.
- Best Face: Samsung’s take on Google’s “Best Take” lets you replace someone’s face in a group shot with a better expression from a burst of photos. It’s coming to the Galaxy S23 and S24 series, Z Fold 5 and later, and Z Flip 5 and later.
- Audio Eraser: A standout new feature, Audio Eraser reduces unwanted background noise in recorded videos — and it’s heading to devices like the Galaxy S24 FE, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and the Tab S10 series.
- Slow-motion video with the ultrawide and telephoto cameras: This enhancement is also limited to Samsung’s more recent phones, including the Galaxy S24 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 6/SE, Galaxy Z Flip 6.
- Auto Trim for videos: Using AI, Samsung Studio can now automatically trim clips for better composition and pacing. This feature is coming to the S24 series, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and the Tab S10 series.
- Updates to the Expert RAW app: Now you have two additional ND filter strengths for better long-exposure shots. While not strictly part of One UI 7, this update applies to 2023 flagship phones — excluding FE models.
- Improved RAW photo editing: More fine-grained manual control over aspects like exposure, contrast, saturation, and noise reduction. These options are coming to the Galaxy S22 series and newer, Z Fold 4 and newer, and the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Generative AI editing and RAW image upgrades
Samsung’s One UI 7 also improves the suite of generative AI editing tools. When removing an object, for example, the phone will now also remove its shadow more effectively.
A good sign for older Galaxy devices
Samsung’s commitment to bringing newer features to older devices — including some mid-range models and tablets — helps extend the value of Galaxy phones over time. While some capabilities remain exclusive to the latest hardware, it’s encouraging to see such a wide rollout of camera tools, especially those powered by AI.
