Features
Auto HDR
Galaxy users are now able to On or Off the HDR functionality, which was set on Auto mode until the One UI 4.1. Through the Camera Assistant, you can turn On or Off the HDR for advantages including:
- HDR ON: Saturated bright areas are well expressed in backlight conditions by synthesizing multiple photos
- HDR OFF: If you want to get a photo with a slightly brighter background
Soften pictures
You can use the Camera Assistant app to select the texture of your photo and shoot it. Just turn on the Soften pictures option when you want soft photo skin expression and soft hair expression, and turn it off when you want detailed and vivid textured photos.
Auto lens switching
Lenses that have been automatically switched in respect of ambient brightness and distance to the subject can also be selected and used by the user through the Camera Assistant app.
- Auto lens switching ON: At 3x or higher, it automatically switches to a wide-angle lens when illuminating a dark or close-up object, allowing digital zoom to achieve well-focused and bright shots.
- Auto lens switching Off: Even when shooting in low-light or close objects at 3x or higher, clear optical zoom photography is now possible with a telephoto lens without changing the lens.
Video recording in Photo mode
You can now enable and disable the touch-and-hold shutter button feature to stop/start recording video. If you have experienced the inconvenience of recording a video when you accidentally press and hold the shutter button when capturing a picture, just turn on the Video recording in the Photo mode toggle.
Number of pictures after timer
When setting the timer by setting the number of shots (1, 3, 5, 7 ), you can more conveniently take continuous pictures from a distance without pressing the shutter button. We recommend you use Number of pictures after timer feature when you want to take a set of pictures without pressing the shutter button.
Faster shutter
When enabled, the Faster shutter feature of Camera Assistant app allows you to capture a series of pictures in super-fast speed. For now, the Faster shutter feature is available for the wide-angle lens only, but, we expect, Samsung will extend this support to other lenses as well including ultrawide and telephoto.
Camera timeout
With default settings, when the camera is turned on, it will turn off automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity. Well, with the Camera Assistant app, you can adjust the length of time the camera app stays for your convenience (1, 2, 5, 10 minutes).
Clean preview on HDMI displays
When the device is connected to an external display via HDMI, this function allows only the pure preview screen, excluding the user interface of the camera app, to be output via HDMI.
The initial version of Camera Assitant is just awesome, while we surely assume more futuristic and useful additions in near future.
Samsung revealed its Project Infinity, which aims to make your Galaxy devices safer against cyber threats. Android is vulnerable due to its open-source nature, making regular security updates necessary for your Galaxy phone’s security.
Project Infinity of Samsung is a classified operation, working on safeguarding Galaxy devices and users around the clock for safer operations. Samsung Newsroom has recently published a blog post, revealing insights from specialist meetings.
Cyber Threat Intelligence
Samsung’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) taskforce is a reconnaissance unit within Project Infinity along with the Red (RED), Blue (BLUE), and Purple (PURPLE) Teams, which go beyond lab conditions to identify real-world dangers.
- RED and BLUE perform proactive attack and defense functions, seeking out vulnerabilities and taking measures against them.
- PURPLE is a special operations unit that acts as both a sword and shield for specific critical areas.
It’s worth noting that Samsung has deployed RED, BLUE, and PURPLE teams in various countries including Vietnam, Poland, Ukraine and Brazil. CTI is dedicated to identifying potential threats and stopping hackers from taking control of your device.
“Once we spot these kinds of threats, we collaborate with developers and operators to lock everything down for preventing attacks,” said Ranger, a CTI member.
Samsung Security Updates
Earlier this year, Samsung announced it to support flagship Galaxy devices for seven years. The new policy applies to all flagship Galaxy devices launched after the Galaxy S24 series. It’s the longest software support offered by any mobile brand.
These updates mean customers can safely use their phones for longer. As cyber threats become more common than you think, security updates are much more crucial to safeguard your Galaxy from any potential threat of vulnerability.
