Samsung launches cool Sketch to Image feature with One UI 6.1.1 Galaxy AI
Samsung made a major breakthrough in its new Galaxy AI. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 debuts a cool Sketch to Image feature powered by Galaxy AI in One UI 6.1.1. Galaxy users can even use it with S Pen to create stunning images just by simple sketch.
One UI 6.1.1-based Galaxy AI allows users to create complete images with the Sketch to Image feature. The feature is integrated into certain Samsung apps to deliver easier access. You just need to take your S Pen, create a simple drawing, and wait for the AI magic.
Galaxy AI will completely transform the sketch drawn by you using S Pen or hand. The sketch drawing will utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning. It will add graphic elements and colors based on the original sketch to generate a relevant image.
Sketch to Search is all about letting users explore their artistic potential. Samsung’s advanced Galaxy AI transforms simple sketches or drawings into a completed image. It is expected to work on images too, allowing you to bring an object by just sketching it.
For instance, take an image of a “camel in the desert” from your Samsung phone’s Gallery app. Trigger the feature, and draw an object of a man wearing a cap or specific attire. Boom, your image lacking a human object will have it, all thanks to Galaxy AI.
Samsung is expected to bring this feature to Galaxy S24 Ultra and select other models later this year.
Samsung today launched the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 foldable phones, Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro earbuds, Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra smartwatches as well as the Galaxy Ring. One UI 6.1.1 and One UI 6 Watch have many new features for Samsung consumers.
Don’t Miss:
DXOMARK honored Galaxy Z Fold 6 as the world’s best camera foldable. The firm is often criticized for its camera performance reviews, especially for Galaxy phones. Samsung’s latest foldable is ranked at the top of the camera chart.
Seeing a Galaxy device leading the camera ranking at DXOMARK seems surprising. The reviewers haven’t evaluated the OnePlus Open, Oppo Find N3, and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro. That is why, Samsung’s foldable has reached the top spot on the chart.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 shares the top rank with the Pixel Fold on the DXOMARK camera chart. Both devices scored 133 points, with Google’s leading given audio, display, and battery evaluations. DXOMARK hasn’t published the selfie camera score of the Z Fold 6.
The review notes mention that the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s cameras have “good exposure and fairly wide dynamic range”. In addition, good detail and low noise in bright light were mentioned, and details in long-range telephoto shots.
Additionally, DXOMARK pointed out that the Fold 6 features good depth estimation in bokeh shots and mostly accurate video exposure with a wide dynamic range. Nice colors in videos were mentioned too, and effective video stabilization as well.
Reviewers noted that the phone lags in general camera performance over its rivals in its price segment. If DXOMARK had evaluated foldables from China, things would have been opposite – the same way as bar-type phones.
Camera specifications:
- Primary: 50MP sensor, 1.0µm pixels, 23mm equivalent f/1.8-aperture lens, dual pixel PDAF, OIS
- Ultra-wide: 12MP sensor, 1.12µm pixels, 12mm equivalent f/2.2-aperture lens
- Telephoto: 10MP sensor, 1.0µm pixels, 66mm equivalent f/2.4-aperture lens, PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom
