Here’s how Samsung One UI 4.1-based AI Stereo Depth Map works on Galaxy S22?
Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, users have been thinking about its features. And now, we have our hands on the latest Galaxy S22 series including the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and the most powerful Galaxy S22 Ultra. So, we can freely say that Samsung has done a great job whether it is about the hardware or everything is great about the software.
One thing that looks better than last year is the cameras. While the standard Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus feature new sensors, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is also much improved in terms of both hardware and software. One of the highlights of the new One UI 4.1-based AI Stereo Depth Map in the Galaxy S22 series.
Samsung One UI 4.1-based AI Stereo Depth Map is one of the many new camera features in the Galaxy S22 series of smartphones this year. It is a software-based feature that relies on AI algorithms to enhance image output when a photo is clicked using any of the three Galaxy S22 series smartphones.

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a major role in this. Samsung is using AI algorithms to create an Advanced Depth Map of the scene you are about to capture on your Galaxy S22 smartphone. The depth map is used to accurately calculate the distance between the different elements in the frame and your smartphone camera.
For those who use portrait mode images, you will definitely admire this feature. When taking pictures in portrait mode, the camera applies an artificial background blur to create a separation between the subject and the background.
Occasionally, the blur is not very accurate because the depth of intake received by the software is not accurate. As a result, some items such as hair, glasses, clothing parts, etc. become blurred in the background.
Samsung has solved this issue by bringing its advanced AI Stereo Depth Map feature. It maps out small elements that are not in focus and ensures that they are in focus with the subject. The whole idea of this feature is to never end up with focus shots or parts of a blurry image.
This is one of the many new camera features introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. 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 reinforces the concept of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Galaxy S24 and S23 series are seemingly One UI 7 Beta phase I devices in the US. Samsung could release the Beta Program after two weeks. But recently, Samsung published One UI 7 Beta forums on the US community for the Galaxy S24 and S23 series.
It has been discovered that Samsung has published the One UI 7 Beta forum for the Galaxy S24 and S23 series in the US. It’s a big development, hinting at the imminent Beta Program launch for the corresponding models in phase I.
Recently, tipster IceUniverse revealed that the Beta may take two more weeks before release. It seems Samsung has entered the final phase of testing. The company may finish testing Beta 1 of Galaxy S25 by mid-November.
The Galaxy S24 series will be the first to get One UI 7 Beta this year. Meanwhile, we could see a swift expansion, covering select older flagships such as the Galaxy S23 series. Recent foldable models would also enjoy the Beta experience.
Publishing a Beta forum isn’t a quite new development by Samsung. The company publishes respective landing pages on the community every year. The forums will keep Beta participants aware of the latest news and updates.
Recently, we revealed the possibility of One UI 7 Beta debut after November 21. Samsung will hold SDC24 Korea on the 21st, where it could also announce the Beta Program release or drop some good news about the same.
After Beta testing this year, the final version will be introduced early next year. The new software will debut alongside the Galaxy S25 series. We expect the flagship launch in January and the One UI 7 rollout to start in February next year.
Samsung announced its Q3 2024 earnings with consolidated sales of 79.1 trillion won ($57.2 billion) and an operating profit of 9.18 trillion won ($6.6 billion), down by 1.26 trillion won from the previous quarter.
The MX (Mobile) Division saw a 13% improvement from the previous quarter given the launch of new Galaxy phones. The DS (semiconductor) division grew 3% from the previous quarter due to an increase in high-end memory sales.
The Korean tech giant also revealed that sales increased by 7% QoQ, achieving record-high quarterly sales. Gross profit reached 30 trillion won, slightly up from the previous quarter due to the expansion of flagship sales in MX.
Samsung continued its active R&D investments, recording an all-time high of 8.87 trillion won in quarterly R&D expenses. DS Division’s one-time expenses were larger than the gap between Samsung’s operating profit and market consensus.
Key Details:
- Memory Business: Profits decreased due to a reduction in inventory evaluation recovery, one-time expenses like incentive provisioning, and currency impacts from a weaker dollar.
- System LSI: Sales increased through maximizing revenue and minimizing inventory, although performance declined due to increased one-time expenses.
- DX Division posted sales of 44.99 trillion won and an operating profit of 3.37 trillion won.
- VD posted increased sales and profit from both the previous quarter and the same period last year.
- Home appliances improved performance year-over-year.
Galaxy S25 Series
Apart from earnings results, Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S25 series will launch in the first half of next year. The company vowed to introduce an enhanced Galaxy AI experience for consumers to elevate their everyday tasks.
Official: Samsung Galaxy S25 to redefine everyday AI with bold new features
For the first time, Samsung officially discussed the Galaxy S25 series. Today, the company announced its earnings results for the third quarter. Samsung also revealed that the Galaxy S25 series will enhance Galaxy AI with bold new features.
Samsung says the Galaxy S25 series will be released in the first half of next year with an enhanced Galaxy AI experience. The launch timeframe should be January 2025, but we would get genuine information by the end of the year.
Galaxy AI has proven a big hit this year, and Samsung is planning further enhancements to the Galaxy S25 series. We expect new features with deeper integration across the operating system in the Galaxy AI next year.
Samsung aims to enhance the Galaxy AI experience to drive innovation in everyday life and expand sales by strengthening marketing and experience programs. The next upgrade to Galaxy AI will create a wide gap with its Apple counterpart.
Given Galaxy AI advancement, the MX Division would pursue sales growth and profitability improvement centered on flagships. This includes the latest S25 series and foldable phones as well as Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Book, and Galaxy Buds/Watch.
Samsung’s mobile business will continue to maintain solid sales of its AI smartphones. Expect various sales promotions during the holiday season, which would push annual flagship sales growth to double digits.
MX Earnings in Q3
The MX and Networks businesses posted KRW 30.52 trillion in consolidated revenue and KRW 2.82 trillion in operating profit in 3Q24.
Overall market demand for smartphones grew modestly as the residual effects of global inflation slowed the recovery in consumer spending.
