Galaxy s25 ultra introduces a camera system with 200 MP wide angle and ultra wide angle 50 SM, adding in turn 50 MP (5x optical zoom) and 10 MP (3x optical zoom) telephoto lenses, as well as a 12 MP front camera ideal for selfies and high-quality video calls. This deployment allows you to capture scenes with an unprecedented level of detail and clarity, even in low-light conditions, thanks to improved Nightography technology and the AI-powered ProVisual engine.
Artificial intelligence automatically selects the best image of each burst, optimizes colors and reduces noise in videos. It even allows correct closed eyes in portraits or editing facial expressions to achieve perfect photographs. In addition, you can apply light filters personalized by transferring the atmosphere of a favorite photo to the new captures.
In the video field, the S25 Ultra adds for the first time the recording in LOG format, allowing greater flexibility in professional editing with logarithmic colors and better resource management in post-production. The function has also been implemented Audio Eraser, which automatically removes unwanted sounds from videos, and advanced editing tools with AI-powered creative suggestions.
For less experienced users, AI provides real-time framing assistance, composition suggestions, and automatic modes ideal for food, portrait, landscape, or pet photography. The quality of the S25 series cameras makes them a go-to choice for both content creators and discerning amateurs.
One UI 7 and Galaxy AI: A new dimension of artificial intelligence
The arrival of One UI 7 redefines the concept of custom software on mobile devices. This version introduces advanced functionalities based on multimodal AI that understand and process voice, text, images and context in real time, making interaction with the phone a much more natural and personalized experience.
Galaxy AI's notable features include:
- Automatic call transcription and real-time translation: Ideal for communicating in other languages or generating notes and summaries of conversations.
- Circle to Search: Allows you to search for information on screen by simply circling the element you want to consult with your finger, now with music recognition and advanced contexts.
- Now Brief: Smart lock screen that learns your routine and provides updates to your workouts, calendar, translations, and music without switching between apps.
