Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X: AI-derived photo editing features
Do you remember Samsung launched the Galaxy Enhance-X app back in July 2022, bringing AI-powered photo editing tools to Galaxy users? Today, we are exploring all features and AIR capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X app!
Galaxy Enhance-X
Samsung’s Galaxy Enhance-X app comes with various features and an AI-derived Photo remaster. Galaxy phone’s Gallery Photo Remaster uses an AI engine that automatically detects where’s the need for remastering to create the optimal photo.
Beyond that, Galaxy Enhance-X allows the user to select the remastering engine to remaster the photo. You can get this app on compatible Galaxy devices through the Galaxy Store app (link here) and benefit from Samsung’s excellent photo editing tools.
Thanks to the AI engine base of Galaxy Enhance-X, Samsung offers various experiences by providing functions that were not introduced to users due to different existing limitations in advance, and actively receiving feedback from the Members app.
Features
Magic
Galaxy Enhance-X utilizes deep learning and AI algorithms to enhance photo quality with a single touch. It automatically detects errors present in photos, such as noise, blur, and loss of detail, and applies appropriate AI image quality improvement algorithms to improve photo quality.
HDR
High Dynamic Range can enhance image quality expression by intelligently analyzing highlights, shadows, overall brightness, contrast, etc. without losing quality with a single click. Use the Galaxy Enhance-X HDR option to expand the dynamic range of brightness your picture can express.
Upscale
Images shared from social media apps or friends are usually compressed. Samsung’s Galaxy Enhance-X app boosts the resolution up to 4x for photos under 1MP and removes compression noise for crisp images.
Moire (wave pattern) fix
When you take a picture of your laptop, TV, or monitor screen with your camera, you may have noticed a high-frequency repetitive pattern of wavy lines called “moire.” The Enhance-X app detects and removes moire patterns in photos to give you clear, sharp photos.
Shadow removal
[Instance] When capturing food indoors in bright light, the shadows cast on the plate, disappointing picture results. The Enhance-X uses an AI engine to identify the shadows in your photos and removes them to greatly improve faulty photos.
Availability:
The enhanced Galaxy Enhance-X app can only be installed on the latest Galaxy S23 lineup because image processing through AI requires complex arithmetic processing and requires high-end hardware performance, coming to the S22 series and select A series phones soon.
Gallery Photo Remaster:
Image Enhancement: Magic, HDR, Bright, Focus Enhancement (Deblur), Lens Distortion Correction, Upscale ( Super Resolution ), Vivid
Remove Artifact: Improve Moire, Remove Reflective Objects, Remove Shadows, Remove Motion Blur
Image Enhancement:
Slim (beauty function), portrait (light effect in portrait mode)
Enhance-X has the advantage of providing the user with the desired function as soon as the photo result is executed, even if the image is not taken through a Samsung camera.
Now, if you have dark photos, bright photos, or photos with unwanted blur and reflections in your gallery, take advantage of the Enhance-X feature to make your photos more pleasing.
How to install: First of all, the Enhance-X app can be easily accessed through the App icon by running the Galaxy Store app installed on the mobile phone, then searching for and installing the Enhance-X app.

Apple faces US DOJ lawsuit over alleged iPhone monopoly
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Apple, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ accuses Apple of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The suit claims Apple has restricted third-party app growth, limited cloud and game-streaming services, forced continued iPhone purchases for messaging, diminished non-Apple smartwatch functionality, and prevented third-party digital wallet use.

In a press conference, US Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted issues such as the App Store’s fee system, degraded third-party accessory experiences, and relies heavily on Messages. The case, backed by 16 state Attorneys General, could have significant implications for Apple’s business practices and the broader tech industry.
The US DOJ said in a release about the suit:
“Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others.”
Apple also responded by defending its innovation and user-focused approach, warning that the lawsuit could hinder its ability to deliver the seamless technology integration users expect. Check the entire response of Apple below.
“At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love — designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets.
If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple — where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.”
