Here’s how Samsung One UI 4.1-based Adaptive Pixel works on Galaxy S22?
Samsung Galaxy S22 Series! This latest series of smartphones win the hearts of the users. The Galaxy S22 device comes with some impressive new features and modifications. In fact, smartphones are equipped with many new hardware and software changes, such as a new chipset, S pen, and an improved display.
But, this year there is a great gap in the camera segment in terms of hardware and software. With the addition of the new sensors, Samsung has focused on some software-related features. One of them is the new Adaptive Pixel technology. The Adaptive pixel technology is one of the many new camera features in the Galaxy S22 series this year.
Image processing and camera optimization play a huge role in defining the output quality of a smartphone camera and this is where such features come into play. Let’s try to understand what is the Adaptive Pixel feature in Samsung’s new smartphones and how it can benefit you as a Galaxy S22 user.
One UI 4.1-based Adaptive Pixel feature
The One UI 4.1-based Adaptive Pixel feature allows device cameras to capture more detail in low light and at the same time balance colors even in low light. Both phones also come with “advanced VDIS technology” that reduces vibration.
Furthermore, Pixel Binning is a great way to save storage space on your smartphone and it also allows the sensor to capture more light as the effective size of the pixels is larger. However, there are also benefits to taking high-resolution photos.
Adaptive Pixel on Galaxy S22 Ultra!
When you capture an image through a 108MP sensor, the captured detail level is very high. It cannot be duplicated or matched by your software. Hence, Samsung came up with a hybrid solution called Adaptive Pixel.
Adaptive Pixel is a smart way to retain details from a 108MP sensor while reducing pixel file size. This is done by capturing two images instead of one each time you click on the image. The phone takes one shot in 108MP mode and the other in 12MP mode.
After capturing one or more images in each resolution, some software processing takes place in the background to merge them into one image. The end result is an image that is very light, not too large in size, and has enough detail.
Due to the powerful chipsets and image signal processors in modern smartphones, all this happens in the background and in the blink of an eye. If you take pictures regularly and zoom in on them, the Adaptive Pixel will definitely benefit you.
However, the Galaxy S22 series includes various new camera features and Adaptive Pixel is one of them. Features like these can make smartphone photographers lean towards the new Galaxy S22 Ultra, especially as the Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the most versatile camera phones and strengthens the concept of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
