Samsung One UI 4.0 vs One UI 4.1: Improved Object Eraser

Samsung’s latest Galaxy S22 series come with some significant improvements that most Galaxy users like in their cameras. We’re talking about pro-photography-level features that allow you to take some amazing photos, at least Samsung promises.
However, when reflections or dark shadows on the glass spoil your image, Samsung has a quick and easy solution to that problem. The new and updated Object Eraser with One UI 4.1 in the Galaxy S22 series allows you to eliminate these annoying issues with photos using a single button.

Samsung One UI 4.1-based Object Eraser automatically brightens dark, shaded areas in a photo with a simple button press or press to erase shadows in the image more accurately. Similarly, the new “Erase Reflection” button can be used to reduce those annoying reflections with a single tab.

Samsung’s Object Eraser entered the Galaxy S21 last year and Samsung continued its development last year. Object Eraser is a tool found in the Samsung Gallery app on Galaxy phones that uses AI to make touching photos a smooth and free experience.
With the new update, Samsung features can give better competition to Google Magic Eraser. This means that whatever the best Android phone you have, you can easily touch up those photos with a few taps.

Disappointingly for a while, Samsung’s camera UI made some significant changes to the way to manage zoom and direct lens access in One UI 4.0. Now instead of the abstract tree icon, the app will let you know what zoom level the camera is set to when flat out.
It is easy to recap and avoids confusion and makes you wonder what each toggle actually changes when you want to change the lens, trim, or get a zoom shot.
However, as part of the Labs section, additional editing tools allow you to select any image object and apply similar effects to the context-awareness removal tool in Photoshop. “Object Eraser” allows you to remove specific parts or objects in the image with software that tries to adjust and replace selected objects.
How to use Object Eraser on Samsung phone?
Before you use the One UI 4.1-based Object Eraser feature, you will get the ability to drag what you want to remove from the image, a quick evaluation of the image. The end result can vary from image to image and depends largely on the quality of your content, frames, and suspicious image.
- Open the Gallery app.
- Select an image with an object you want to remove.
- Tap on the pencil icon to open the image editor.
- Next Tap on three dots in the upper right corner of the Gallery app, then tap Labs.
- Then Tap the switch next to Object Eraser to enable the feature.
You can also hide playing content for easy access when you want to focus on another app or UI section.
How to use Object Eraser?
- If the Object Eraser is enabled, return to the image with the object you want to remove.
- Scroll to the right of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and tap the New Object Eraser icon.
- Tap the object you want to delete. The object is highlighted in purple. You can press to highlight0 multiple objects at once.
- Press Erase to remove each highlighted object from the image.

Galaxy Watch users, get ready: Gemini is officially coming to Wear OS

Samsung users, get ready for Gemini AI on your Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch. Google CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that Gemini will be expanding to a range of devices, including tablets, cars, headphones, and watches.
Google has upgraded Android phones with its AI-powered Gemini Assistant. It has replaced the famous Google Assistant on compatible Android devices. Now, Google is looking for segmental expansion for its Gemini chatbot.
Currently, Google Assistant is still available on smartwatches, Android Auto, smart displays, and more. As the official confirmation is here, we can expect Gemini replacing Google Assistant on devices sequentially by the end of the year.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai used the firm’s Q1 2025 earnings call to announce Gemini’s expansion:
“We’re upgrading Google Assistant on mobile devices to Gemini, and later this year we’ll upgrade tablets, cars and devices that connect to your phone, such as headphones and watches” – Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Gemini for Wear OS just got official confirmation, but clues first appeared on the web earlier this year. Back in January, Android Authority found that Gemini is under development for smartwatches running Wear OS.
The revelation also shed light on a handful of aspects, such as how Gemini would work on smartwatches. Google is expected to tease or drop hints at the functionality on Wear OS at the I/O 2025 event scheduled in May 2025.

Samsung’s delayed One UI 7 update hampered Android 15 uptake?

One UI 7 marks Samsung’s best upgrade and the worst rollout. The official release has just begun for select models, with completion expected by July. The One UI 7 update delay may have also hampered Android 15 numbers.
Google released the Android distribution share earlier this month. The revised data now mentions Android 15, while Android 14 is the most widely used version. There’s a lack of specific month data, yet let’s figure out the difference.
Android distribution data, reported through Android Studio, shows Android 15 on just 4.5% of devices as of early April 2025. Meanwhile, Android 14 powers 27.4% of devices, making it the most widely used version.

Android Distribution as of April 2025 | Via – 9to5Google, Source – Android Studio
Back in May 2024, Android 13 led with 20.9% of devices, while Android 14, the latest at the time, was on 13%. This shows Android 14’s growth over the past year, but Android 15’s slow start stands out, probably due to delayed One UI 7.
Samsung’s Android 15-based One UI 7 update rollout faced significant delays. Google released Android 15 last October, but Samsung’s Beta only began in December. The Stable rollout didn’t start until mid-April 2025 for the latest flagships.
With over 50 Galaxy models set to get One UI 7, the staggered schedule may have kept Android 15’s numbers low. By July 2025, Samsung expects to complete the One UI 7 rollout. As more devices update, Android 15’s share would grow.

Samsung schedules July Unpacked in NYC to launch Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7

Samsung is reportedly considering holding an Unpacked event in early July to introduce the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, with the venue under consideration being NYC (New York), USA.
According to Korean media, Samsung may launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 at early July Unpacked in NYC, US. The company appears to be returning to New York for the Unpacked event amid rising risk from President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.
Recently, it was revealed that Samsung America has donated $350K to the Trump inauguration committee. The company has donated over triple the amount it contributed for the same purpose in the first term of President Trump.
If Unpacked happens in New York, it will mark the first time in three years, since 2022. At present, the company is preparing to finalize the NYC as the Unpacked venue, where it will introduce several products, including foldable phones.
An industry insider familiar with Samsung’s plans said, “In recent years, second-half Unpacked events have been held in cultural hubs like Seoul in 2023 and Paris last year. This time, it’s set to return to New York, the quintessential cultural city, after three years.”

The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. In terms of design, the devices would be sleeker and lighter. The next Flip phone will have a Moto Razr-like cover screen, the biggest ever in Samsung’s history.
In a major shift, Samsung would introduce Android 16-based One UI 8 with the Z7 series. The company is aligning the new One UI debut with Google’s timeline, giving its foldables another edge over bar-type phones for a sales jump.
In addition, the Galaxy Z7 series models are highly likely to uplevel Galaxy AI capabilities, optimizing them for both vertically and horizontally folding smartphones, creating synergy between hardware and software.
