Samsung One UI 4.0 vs One UI 4.1: Improved Object Eraser
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S22 series come with some significant improvements that most Galaxy users like in their cameras. We’re talking about pro-photography-level features that allow you to take some amazing photos, at least Samsung promises.
However, when reflections or dark shadows on the glass spoil your image, Samsung has a quick and easy solution to that problem. The new and updated Object Eraser with One UI 4.1 in the Galaxy S22 series allows you to eliminate these annoying issues with photos using a single button.
Samsung One UI 4.1 Object Eraser
Samsung One UI 4.1-based Object Eraser automatically brightens dark, shaded areas in a photo with a simple button press or press to erase shadows in the image more accurately. Similarly, the new “Erase Reflection” button can be used to reduce those annoying reflections with a single tab.

Samsung’s Object Eraser entered the Galaxy S21 last year and Samsung continued its development last year. Object Eraser is a tool found in the Samsung Gallery app on Galaxy phones that uses AI to make touching photos a smooth and free experience.
With the new update, Samsung features can give better competition to Google Magic Eraser. This means that whatever the best Android phone you have, you can easily touch up those photos with a few taps.

Disappointingly for a while, Samsung’s camera UI made some significant changes to the way to manage zoom and direct lens access in One UI 4.0. Now instead of the abstract tree icon, the app will let you know what zoom level the camera is set to when flat out.
It is easy to recap and avoids confusion and makes you wonder what each toggle actually changes when you want to change the lens, trim, or get a zoom shot.
However, as part of the Labs section, additional editing tools allow you to select any image object and apply similar effects to the context-awareness removal tool in Photoshop. “Object Eraser” allows you to remove specific parts or objects in the image with software that tries to adjust and replace selected objects.
How to use Object Eraser on Samsung phone?
Before you use the One UI 4.1-based Object Eraser feature, you will get the ability to drag what you want to remove from the image, a quick evaluation of the image. The end result can vary from image to image and depends largely on the quality of your content, frames, and suspicious image.

- Tap on the pencil icon to open the image editor.
- Next Tap on three dots in the upper right corner of the Gallery app, then tap Labs.

You can also hide playing content for easy access when you want to focus on another app or UI section.
How to use Object Eraser?
- If the Object Eraser is enabled, return to the image with the object you want to remove.
- Scroll to the right of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and tap the New Object Eraser icon.
