Galaxy Z Flip 5’s Nightography Magic: Capture the night in stunning clarity
The new Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphone is equipped with Nightography features. It’s a Samsung concept that combines hardware and software, as well as Artificial Intelligence, to capture photos and videos in any light, even in very low light conditions.
Whether you want to capture a photo at night or in darker places, Nightography comes into play to preserve all the rich details of the moments that matter most in your life, reducing the effect of grainy or blurry photos that you are sure to experience.

With Nightography on your Galaxy device, you don’t have to resort to additional lights or choose to leave your camera flash on. To create even more fun photos, position your Z Flip 5 at a distance and capture your reactions day and night hands-free, or using the camera controller via Galaxy smartwatches.
For instance…
You were invited to a birthday party at night! It is likely that lights, spotlights, and even the candles on the birthday boy’s cake will serve as a support to illuminate the place, but at the same time cause noise that could interfere with the result of the photo.
Shake-free photos
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and its cover screen allow you to preview and select your portraits in Flex Mode. Even with your foldable phone closed, it is very simple to adjust the color tone, or favorite or delete them facially with the quick view on the Flex Screen.
Superstabilization and Auto Framing
Allied with Nightography are also the Camera Superstabilization and Auto Framing features of the new Galaxy Z Flip 5. No one will be left out of your photos, as the Flex Camera on the smartphone’s external screen creates the ideal framing, keeping everyone in the scene.

Vivo beats Google and Samsung in the Android 15 rollout race. The Chinese phone maker started releasing the Stable Android 15 update to select models. This is surprising as Google has yet to push the update to Pixel phones.
Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 is rolling out to Vivo X100 series, Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, and iQOO 12. It brings wonderful new features and enhancements. Notably, the company has scheduled the deployment for September 30.
September is almost finished and there’s no One UI 7 Beta announcement. Google could update Pixel phones with Android 15 in mid-October. Meanwhile, Samsung will be holding the 2024 Developer Conference on October 3.
Google usually debuts Android 15 first, then other OEMs follow. Last year, Oppo and OnePlus kicked off the rollout shortly after Google. Things are just different this year as the owner of Android is stuck and a vendor kicked off the release.
Pixel phones currently running Android 15 QPR Beta build. The company has ended the Beta Program and shifted Pixels to either Android 14 or QPR Beta. Users who didn’t wipe data are still stuck on Android 15 Beta, awaiting the Public build.
Vivo’s Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 update comes with AI Eraser in Gallery – similar to Google’s Magic Editor. The Live Transcribe is also included as an accessibility tool, letting users follow conversations in real time.
The new software also adds partial screen sharing for enhanced privacy during presentations or collaborations, and native support for satellite connectivity, enabling communication in areas with limited or no cellular coverage.
