Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 brings support for several new features to enhance the Galaxy Camera experience and one of them is the Natural Density (ND) filter. This feature was once exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series, introduced with the first One UI 6.1-based update. And now, it is available on the Galaxy S23 series and Fold 5, enhancing mobile photography.
The ND filter allows amazing control over the lighting in photos, mirroring the functionality of professional camera filters. This is especially useful for outdoor settings where lighting can vary considerably.
