Samsung One UI 5.1 Image Clipper feature spotted in Galaxy S23 Ultra
The awaited Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones are here with the most advanced internals and the fresh Android 13-based One UI 5.1 software. The Galaxy S23 running One UI 5.1 includes so many new features; one of them is the “Image Clipper”.
You might be familiar with the Apple iOS 16’s photo cutout feature that lets iPhone users copy any object from the picture and paste it anywhere. This feature is now available in Samsung Galaxy as well.

Currently, we do not know whether the company will bring this feature to older Galaxy phones with the One UI 5.1 update. However, we will not have to wait much to know this as the One UI 5.1 rollout is not far away.
One UI 5.1 Image Clipper feature:
The One UI 5.1 Gallery app comes with a new Image Clipper function. It provides users with the ability to extract the subject of a photo from background elements and paste it to Messages, Telegram, Notes, and more.
It digitally cuts out the main part of the photo so that you can share it on its own or paste it into another image with an entirely different background. This feature is based on machine learning to recognize certain objects in your photos, such as popular landmarks, flowers, plants, certain pet breeds, and even birds and insects.
Not only that, but your Galaxy phone can identify almost anything as a distinct subject of a photo, whether it’s a person, a street sign, a household appliance, or a random object lying on a table. Isn’t it insane?

How to extract object from pictures:
Using the Image Clipper function to extract objects from pictures is as easy as you copy any text and paste it into messages.
All you need to do is select a picture from the Gallery >> view One screen >> Long-press the object to cut. Your phone will automatically identify and cut the object. Now, you can copy the cut object to the clipboard, share it, or save it as an image.
Samsung is expected to hold the next Unpacked event in January next year. After leaked hands-on, new live images of the Galaxy S24 Ultra have surfaced, showing off design changes over its predecessor.
In the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung is not heavily tweaking the overall look and design. While the display is ditching curved edges, the rear design looks a lot identical to the S23 Ultra, which is hard to compare.

As you can see in the image showing the phone’s bottom, the speaker grille has ditched the holes in favor of a single linear cutout. The company has also flattened out the bottom of the S Pen.
Notably, the Galaxy S24 Ultra makes use of a titanium frame instead of aluminum, while other models follow the older frame strategy.
With the S22 Ultra, Samsung introduced an island-less rear panel design, which became Galaxy’s signature design in 2023. All Galaxy phones released in 2023 follow the same design strategy, with the same set to happen next year with the Galaxy S24 series.
Well, a new rumor says that Samsung is set to redefine the Galaxy image, with notable design changes expected to be made in Galaxy S25. Tipster Revegnus says that Hubert H. Lee, a former designer at Mercedes-Benz, is working to redefine the design language of Galaxy, starting with the S25.

To recall, Hubert H. Lee has been leading Samsung’s Galaxy design department (Head of the Mobile eXperience Design Team) since December 2022. The company’s OLED 2.0 tech is expected to bring a significant upgrade to the Galaxy’s innovation journey!
Looking forward!
Apple completely ditched the display notch with the iPhone 15 lineup this year. Well, Apple is expected to launch iPhone with under-display camera technology after 2026. The company’s camera supplier has reportedly begun the development of under panel camera.
TheElec sources say that LG Innotek was found to have begun advanced development of UPC. The company is developing a special lens called the “Freeform Optic” lens to overcome the limitations of the existing under-panel camera tech – insufficient light quantity.

It is reported that Apple received under-display camera samples for iPhone from related companies but evaluated its performance as unsatisfactory. However, the US tech giant plans to apply Underpanel Face ID to the front of the iPhone before applying UPC.
By applying a freeform lens, the thickness of the peripheral lens can be controlled, thereby reducing the aberration of the optical system and optical module and increasing the light ratio around the optical system and optical module, the image quality of the area can be improved.
It’s worth noting that Samsung has been applying UPC to the internal screen of the Galaxy Z Fold series since 2021. The camera specifications are still low, with the UPC applied to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 and this year’s Z Fold 5 limited to 4-megapixel.
