Samsung is shaking things up with the Galaxy S25 series, and its standout camera trick—AI Filters—is already turning heads. Powered by Galaxy AI, this slick feature lets you craft custom photo filters, adding a stylish, personal twist to your shots. The best part? Samsung’s not keeping it exclusive. The company’s already rolled it out to the Galaxy S24 series with the latest One UI 7.0 beta and has big plans to bring it to a wider lineup of Galaxy devices. Here’s the scoop.
AI Filters: A Game-Changing Camera Boost
AI Filters are all about creativity with a tech twist. Using Galaxy AI, you can tweak colors, tones, and effects to design filters that match your vibe—think Instagram-worthy shots without the third-party apps. It’s a welcome upgrade for photography buffs and casual snappers alike. Samsung first teased this feature with the Galaxy S25, but the fourth beta of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 quietly dropped it for the Galaxy S24 series under the name “AI Filter.” Now, it’s poised to expand even further.
Beyond AI Filters, the Galaxy S24 Ultra snagged another S25 perk: LOG video recording. This logarithmic profile delivers pro-grade flexibility for video editing, though it seems tied to beefier hardware—sorry, S24 and S24+ owners, you’re out of luck for now.
Which Devices Are Next in Line?
Samsung’s feeling generous. According to SamMobile, the AI Filter feature is “most likely” headed to Galaxy S and Z series phones launched since 2021 with the One UI 7.0 update. Assuming it’s not a resource hog (and early signs suggest it isn’t), here’s the lineup that could get the upgrade:
- Galaxy S Series: S21, S22, S23, S24
- Galaxy Z Fold Series: Z Fold 3, Z Fold 4, Z Fold 5, Z Fold 6
- Galaxy Z Flip Series: Z Flip 3, Z Flip 4, Z Flip 5, Z Flip 6
The Galaxy S24’s beta rollout supports the theory—this feature might not demand cutting-edge hardware, making it a feasible treat for older models. LOG video, though? That’s a tougher sell for anything below the Ultra tier.
Want in? Once One UI 7.0 hits stable, check Settings > Software Update on your eligible device. Samsung’s beta program just wrapped, so the official release can’t be far off.
What’s Next for Samsung’s Camera Push?
Samsung’s camera software glow-up feels like a jab at competitors like Google’s Pixel, which has long flexed its AI photography muscle. AI Filters are a fun, accessible flex, and if Samsung delivers them across its 2021-and-up portfolio, it’s a savvy move to keep loyalists hooked. Still, the jury’s out on whether LOG video will stay an Ultra exclusive or trickle down with future updates.
With One UI 7.0’s stable version on the horizon, we’re eager to see how these features land—and whether Samsung has more S25 surprises up its sleeve. How will Google or Apple counter? Stay tuned.
