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.
After OLED, Samsung is entering Apple’s CIS supply chain. Ming-Chi Kuo today revealed that Samsung could start shipping 48MP camera for Apple iPhone models as early as 2026. It’s a big blow to Apple’s conventional image supplier, Sony.
For years, Sony has dominated Apple’s iPhone camera supply chain. The entry of Samsung in the Apple iPhone 48MP camera supply is certain in early 2026. The source mentioned that Samsung had to form a dedicated team to serve Apple.
As Samsung’s supply could start in 2026, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 may still use Sony sensors. As the Korean tech giant preps for supply, Apple may have considered completing its agreement/contract with Sony for the iPhone camera.
Ming-Chi Kuo’s article reads:
- Samsung is expected to begin shipping 1/2.6-inch 48MP ultra-wide CMOS image sensors (CIS) to Apple for iPhones as early as 2026, breaking Sony’s years-long monopoly on supplying CIS to Apple. To this end, Samsung has established a dedicated team to serve Apple.
The gap of nearly two years would result in some changes in camera supply. The iPhone maker may also opt for a multi-vendor strategy to freeze prices. Having more than a single supply chain partner empowers the manufacturer during price negotiation.
Kuo notes that Samsung will supply a 1/2.6-inch image sensor for iPhone. The product will have a 48-megapixel resolution. It will likely be used as an ultra-wide camera in future iPhones, while others will still be from Sony.
Samsung announced its most anticipated foldable phones on July 10 in Paris. Yesterday, Honor launched the new Magic V3, which challenges the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a thinner design and some cool specs. The new Honor foldable is considerably thin compared to the phones available.
Honor’s new Magic V3 measures 9.2mm (camera bump not included) in its folded state. It goes further slimmer to 4.35mm when you unfold its 7.92-inch main screen. Oops, there’s a clearly visible hole for the camera on the inner display, with Galaxy Z Fold 6 featuring UDC for years.
The Chinese vendor managed to make its new foldable slimmer with an upgraded hinge of 2.84mm thickness. It won’t break before 500,000 folds while the frame is made from 7-series aluminum alloy. It’s the most highlighting spec that makes it superior to its Samsung counterpart.
Samsung reduced the weight of the Z Fold 6 to 239 grams but the Magic V3 weighs just 226 grams. Honor also brought IPX8 water resistance to the Magic V3, making it the first in the lineup to feature official protection against water insertion.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 packs a 4400mAh battery, but Honor’s Magic V3 has an edge here too. It boasts a 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both devices use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering robust performance and efficiency.
Honor Magic V3 comes with a 6.43-inch LTPO cover screen with FHD+ resolution. It’s also rated for 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports stylus input. Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 also supports S Pen input but on the inner panel only with a special pen crafted by Samsung.
In terms of optics, the Magic V3 features a 50MP primary with OIS, a 50MP Periscope with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. The cover and main screens also house 20MP front-facing cameras. It lacks under-display camera technology which arrived 3rd time on a Samsung Fold.
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition, a bespoke smartphone designed exclusively for athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It will be provided to around 17,000 athletes participating in Paris 2024.

Each device comes with 100GB 5G eSIM data and two years of international warranty. Athletes will receive their Galaxy Z Flip 6 Olympic Edition from July 18 with pre-loaded Paris 2024-themed apps and exclusive services
