Unlock the Galaxy S25's full photography potential with Galaxy AI1. It works behind the scenes in the camera and Samsung Gallery app to improve your photography and help it stand out. Here are eight Galaxy AI tools to enhance your photos beyond simply pointing and shooting.

Hidden Feature 1: Generative Edit

You snap a photo, and then you realize there's a garish lampshade taking up half the background. Use Galaxy AI Generative Edit2 in the Samsung Gallery app to tap or outline an object for removal.

Hidden Feature 2: Translate text

When you're traveling and can't figure out what the sign says because it's in a different language, snap a photo and ask Galaxy AI to translate it. Long-press on the text within the image in the Samsung Gallery app, or directly in the camera app. Once it's selected, look for the Translate option for quick help.

Hidden Feature 3: Instant Slow-mo

Kids and pets move too fast to try to capture the moment in any other mode but automatic. Galaxy AI allows you to edit a photo and add effects like slow motion, even after recording the video. Long-press while playing back a video in the Gallery app to activate Galaxy AI Instant Slow-mo3, then lift your finger to stop. When exported, the slow-motion effect will appear in the timeline.

Hidden Feature 4: Enhanced resolution zoom

AI-enhanced zooming is automatically available on all models in the Galaxy S25 range once you pinch to zoom in. This superior zooming capability uses a combination of optical and digital zoom to produce a sharp image from a distance. Pinch and zoom beyond 3x on the Galaxy S25/S25+ and beyond 5x on the Galaxy S25 Ultra to start using it.

Hidden Feature 5: Help with Photo Edits

With the S25, there's no need for a professional, or third party apps, to make expert-level photo edits. Galaxy AI powers up Photo Assist4, which analyzes photos and offers style suggestions. Photo Assist can help remaster an image to improve contrast and brightness. Or use it to adjust the background blur on a portrait.

Hidden Feature 6: Nightography

Galaxy AI enhances Samsung's low-light photography and videography capabilities. When taking a photo or video in low light using Night mode, Galaxy AI Nightography5 automatically utilizes multi-frame processing to improve the image's brightness and makes the key details of your shot stand out.

Hidden Feature 7: Scene Optimizer

Galaxy AI Scene Optimizer is designed to automatically adjust photos based on what suits the frame. For instance, if it's a landscape photo, the colors will appear more vivid. If it's flowers in bloom, Scene Optimizer will subtly enhance the blur around the petals to achieve a portrait-like effect.

Hidden Feature 8: Portrait Studio

Portrait Studio6 is a part of Galaxy AI Photo Assist. It can transform your images into a variety of looks, from watercolor to comic book style. It's an effortless way to add an artistic effect without requiring any professional software.

One last thing. If you have somehow missed the buzz throughout the internet tech sphere, Samsung has recently launched their latest foldable wonder – the Galaxy Z Fold7.

With major hardware upgrades, such as a 200MP camera sensor, an impossibly svelte 4.2mm thin unfolded chassis, and stunning (2184 x 1968) 8” main display, there’s a lot to get excited about.
