Smart Photos and Videos Hacks
Show off your emoji
You can make your emoji dance when you get a call, jump for joy when you unlock it, and more with the AR emoji app. You can choose different emojis and different styles that suit your moods such as dance, fun, party, stylish, wakeup, and many more.
This is old but a neat customization feature that continues to provide its service with One UI 4.1 for Galaxy phones. You can use it to create an attractive call background or Lock screen if you don’t want to use any wallpaper.
To do this:
- Enter the AR Emoji Studio.
- Select one between three options:
- Create video
- Call Screen
- Lock Screen
- You can now create your emoji.
Make stickers with multiple emojis
To make your AR emojis more interesting, you can add a second emoji to your custom emoji stickers and choose different actions and expressions for each emoji. To use this feature:
- Go to AR Zone on your Samsung phone.
- Click AR emoji stickers.
- You can here, create your stickers.
Take quick videos
Using the Samsung camera app is very easy. You just have to open the app and select what features or mode you want to use. The two most common feature we use is capturing pictures and videos.
We do not have to select any mode to click photos, it’s set by default. Meanwhile, you can capture quick videos through the camera mode itself. To do this:
- Touch and hold the shutter button in Photo mode.
- Drag your finger to the Lock icon to continue recording without having a hold down the button.
Capture moments in burst shots or GIFs
You can capture a series of images or soundless videos that will loop continuously also known as GIF, from your Samsung phone’s camera itself. To do this: Go to Camera settings and choose whether swiping takes a burst shot or GIF.
- Open the Camera app.
- Swipe the Shutter button away from the preview.
- Drop the button when finished.
Keep the Shutter button within reach
Smartphones now come with very big screens, take Galaxy S22 Ultra as an example. This makes it a bit difficult to click photos, especially selfies, on a large screen phone.
Samsung allows you to move the Shutter button anywhere on the screen so you can reach it with either hand. You can hide it when you don’t need it. To do this: Tap the camera shutter button and move it anywhere on the screen.
Crop your videos
There are some parts in the video which we do not like or they are spoiling the look of the rest of the video. Samsung gives you the ability to crop videos without having to use any external editing tools.
To crop your videos, change the aspect ratio >> crop out unwanted parts >> adjust the tilt, and it’s done.
Save and revert edited images
When you save an edited image, it replaces the original image in the Gallery. What if you want the original image back? Don’t worry, Samsung has a solution for this as well.
No matter how many times you’ve saved an image, you can always tap Revert to undo everything and get the original image back. But, if you want to keep both – the original and the edited, you can tap Save and copy through the More options menu.
Make highlight reels easily
The best parts of the selected videos will be collected in a single highlight reel that’s ready to share. To do this:
- Select the videos you want to include.
- Tap More options >> Create >> Highlight reel.

In addition, the system LSI division appointed Vice President Choi Jin-hyuk as the head of the SoC business team. Vice President Choi plans to lead the development of application processor (AP) chips, which are Exynos.
Apart from this, Samsung has also divided the Foundry Division into two categories: Manufacturing and Technology. Technical organizations such as production process (Fab) and cleaning and diffusion were placed under the subsidiary.
- The message is for R&D personnel to communicate directly on the spot.
Samsung announced it’s honoring 300 public middle and high schools from all 50 states across the US as State Finalists in the 15th annual Samsung Solve for Tomorrow national STEM (Science, Technology (AI), Engineering, and Mathematics) competition.
The company will award over $2 million in prizes to 2024’s participating schools. For now, each State Finalist school has won a $2,500 Samsung technology prize package.
This is an initial milestone on the path toward becoming one of three National Winners that will each unlock $100,000 for their school.
- The full list of State Finalists can be viewed here.
“These State Finalist teams are answering that call by engaging technology for good, like their quick adoption of AI to power wide-ranging solutions that address not only pressing challenges in their communities but also global issues.” – Salman Taufiq, Director – Corporate Marketing, Samsung Electronics America.
Upcoming Competition Phases
Based on the activity plans, judges will select State Winners, who will be revealed in March 2025.

Apple has reportedly requested Samsung to revamp the iPhone DRAM memory design to boost AI capabilities. The company is said to be working to switch to a discrete packaging method for the low-power DRAM used in iPhones.
TheElec reports that the new iPhone DRAM design change by Samsung aims to meet the growing need for memory bandwidth driven by on-device AI and foldable phones.
Samsung’s new discrete packaging method places memory independently next to the system-on-chip. It allows better heat dissipation and more I/O pins, potentially boosting AI capabilities.
Meanwhile, it may not fully meet the iPhone’s needs for low communication latency. The company is also likely to implement the next-gen LPDDR6-PIM standard for enhanced AI performance.
Apple Intelligence (Source – Apple)
As Mobile AI evolves, Apple seems to have realized the continuously increasing requirement of high bandwidth memory on the iPhone to seamlessly run AI tasks and generative processing.
That said, Apple has opted for discrete packaging, which it has used in Macs and iPads. This method ensures memory is placed alone next to the SoC, allowing for more I/O pins and flexibility.
In discrete packaging, there is a larger surface area for heat to dissipate, and the heat generated by the SoC and memory does not overlap, which is generated during generative AI processing.
Apple reportedly aims to switch iPhone LPDDR to a discrete package format starting in 2026. The company apparently plans to separate LPDDR DRAM memory from the system semiconductor.
Previously, LPDDR was vertically stacked on top of the system chip in the PoP configuration. It is used in mobile memory to enable smaller IC designs compared to horizontal packaging.
