Features
Auto HDR
Galaxy users are now able to On or Off the HDR functionality, which was set on Auto mode until the One UI 4.1. Through the Camera Assistant, you can turn On or Off the HDR for advantages including:
- HDR ON: Saturated bright areas are well expressed in backlight conditions by synthesizing multiple photos
- HDR OFF: If you want to get a photo with a slightly brighter background
Soften pictures
You can use the Camera Assistant app to select the texture of your photo and shoot it. Just turn on the Soften pictures option when you want soft photo skin expression and soft hair expression, and turn it off when you want detailed and vivid textured photos.
Auto lens switching
Lenses that have been automatically switched in respect of ambient brightness and distance to the subject can also be selected and used by the user through the Camera Assistant app.
- Auto lens switching ON: At 3x or higher, it automatically switches to a wide-angle lens when illuminating a dark or close-up object, allowing digital zoom to achieve well-focused and bright shots.
- Auto lens switching Off: Even when shooting in low-light or close objects at 3x or higher, clear optical zoom photography is now possible with a telephoto lens without changing the lens.
Video recording in Photo mode
You can now enable and disable the touch-and-hold shutter button feature to stop/start recording video. If you have experienced the inconvenience of recording a video when you accidentally press and hold the shutter button when capturing a picture, just turn on the Video recording in the Photo mode toggle.
Number of pictures after timer
When setting the timer by setting the number of shots (1, 3, 5, 7 ), you can more conveniently take continuous pictures from a distance without pressing the shutter button. We recommend you use Number of pictures after timer feature when you want to take a set of pictures without pressing the shutter button.
Faster shutter
When enabled, the Faster shutter feature of Camera Assistant app allows you to capture a series of pictures in super-fast speed. For now, the Faster shutter feature is available for the wide-angle lens only, but, we expect, Samsung will extend this support to other lenses as well including ultrawide and telephoto.
Camera timeout
With default settings, when the camera is turned on, it will turn off automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity. Well, with the Camera Assistant app, you can adjust the length of time the camera app stays for your convenience (1, 2, 5, 10 minutes).
Clean preview on HDMI displays
When the device is connected to an external display via HDMI, this function allows only the pure preview screen, excluding the user interface of the camera app, to be output via HDMI.
The initial version of Camera Assitant is just awesome, while we surely assume more futuristic and useful additions in near future.
Samsung is reviewing LockStar for Galaxy S24 AOD customization. The Korean community’s moderator confirmed that the latest flagship phones don’t support personalization of the always-on-display using Good Lock’s LockStar module.
Thanks to the new screens, Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series brings an iPhone-like Always On Display feature. However, the company seemingly missed bounding it with Good Lock for customization. As a result, users are facing issues tweaking it through LockStar.
However, the latest input confirms that Samsung is considering LockStar support for Galaxy S24 AOD. This will allow users to renovate the always-on-display functionality on their device in various aspects including removal of certain elements.
LockStar doesn’t support AOD customization in the Galaxy S24 series. While an internal review is underway, a possible release may happen shortly. Meanwhile, the moderator hasn’t shared any specific timeline regarding the availability of the support.
Good Lock’s LockStar is one of the most popular plugins for Galaxy customization. Not only the lock screen, the LockStar also lets users tweak the AOD function. The suite will likely add support for the newly released phones well before July Unpacked.

Huawei is making a stunning comeback in its home ground. The company scored a 70% year-on-year growth in its smartphone sales in China in the first quarter. At the same time, sales of Apple dropped by over 19%, reports Counterpoint Research.
The report highlights that the Chinese phone maker is set to outpace Apple in China. As Apple is already facing heat, it’s alarming for all smartphone vendors including Samsung. After Apple, Huawei’s next target will be Samsung which leads the Global market.
Huawei, which was at 9.3% in the first quarter of 2023, jumped to 15.5% in Q1 this year. Apple led the Chinese market in 1Q23 with approximately 20% market share slipped to 15.7% in the first quarter of this year, dropping to the third spot in China.
Earlier, IDC pointed out that Apple is facing a market decline as it lost momentum in China. The local government’s push for local vendors is also helping Huawei to eat Apple’s market. Well, Vivo and Honor were the top two brands by market share.
“Apple’s sales were subdued during the quarter as Huawei’s comeback has directly impacted Apple in the premium segment,” said Ivan Lam, senior research analyst at Counterpoint.
