Samsung Galaxy S21 One UI 5.0 Camera features:
Help guide in Pro mode:
One UI 5.0 brings significant changes to Camera Pro mode. If you’re a casual photographer or a hobbyist just starting out, Pro Mode now has useful tips for you. When you open the Pro camera mode after installing the One UI 5.0, you will see an “i” icon.
When you tap on this icon, your phone’s camera will guide you on how to capture perfect shots. It will show you some helpful tips for basic photography elements like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, focus, and more.
These tips convey a short definition of the aspect and ideal values you should set for the best Pro mode photography results.
Histogram in Pro mode:
A Histogram is also a new feature of One UI 5.0 Camera Pro mode. It has been added to the viewfinder to let you better understand the light distribution at a glance.
With this, the company is making it easy to capture stunning photos and videos and understand each lens by fostering experimentation on your phone’s camera. Now you can capture great photos and videos according to the lighting and environment around you.
Easy zoom with one hand:
When focusing on a subject it’s difficult to zoom in or out as you can lose your perfect angle if the camera moves. Samsung is now making it easier to zoom in/out. One UI 5.0 has minimized the zoom bar so you can zoom in and out with a single swipe using one hand.
Camera Watermark:
One UI 5.0 is installing the Camera Watermark feature to Galaxy smartphones. The company has even made the Camera Watermark feature very customizable. The upgrade allows consumers to enable custom or date and time watermarks.
You can also choose to display the date and time of the shooting, phone model information, as well as information specified by you on your picture. There’s also the ability to select the Watermark Alignment between Left, Right, and Center.
Telephoto lens in Food mode:
Samsung smartphones come with a dedicated Fode mode to capture food pictures. It is based on forms that identify food to achieve the best blur when capturing pictures.
The new software is adding Telephoto lens compatibility on the Food mode. You can now capture better close-up shots of food using the telephoto camera lens.
Easy filter selection:
The company is making it earlier to select filters on the Camera, photo editor, and video editor mode with One UI 5.0 upgrade. All filters are now available in one list, so you can find the perfect filter for your photo or video at once.

In addition to South Korea and Germany, Samsung has now launched the Android 14-based One UI 6 Beta in the US. Users of carrier-unlocked or T-Mobile branded Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, or S23 Ultra smartphones can now sign up to get the Beta firmware via OTA.
It’s worth mentioning that the One UI 6 Beta is only available for T-Mobile and carrier-unlocked Galaxy S23 models in the US. This means Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, and other carrier users have no other option than waiting for the official rollout.
One UI 6 Beta comes with a redesigned Quick Panel, which looks stunning and well-crafted for accessibility. The animations are also tweaked but require further optimization as the current situation of transition effects is not up to the mark.
In a recent Newsroom article, the South Korean tech giant confirmed that the One UI 6 Beta is equipped with more new customization capabilities. The design is simple and eye-catching, which will surely enhance the everyday operations of Galaxy devices.
