Samsung SmartThings Matter 1.4

Last month, Samsung SmartThings introduced several new features, including Home Insights, Daily Routines, Quick Remote, and Automatic Hub Backup. Now, a new report suggests that SmartThings might soon support Wi-Fi routers with the upcoming release of Matter 1.4.

Matter has been part of SmartThings for a few years, and the upcoming 1.4 version is expected to arrive next year with some exciting new features.

Matter 1.4 

Matter 1.4 details have been arrived today. It highlights the “Enhanced Multi-Admin” feature, which makes it easier to control Matter-enabled devices across different smart home ecosystems at the same time.

It shows that you could use a Matter device with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and SmartThings all together without any hassle.

Moreover, the update also improves device compatibility. For example, Wi-Fi routers can now work with Matter and SmartThings. They can also act as Thread Border Routers to help connect devices and simplify the setup process.

With this, Wi-Fi routers, modems, and other devices like set-top boxes will be controllable through the SmartThings app.

Matter 1.4 supports energy devices like solar panels, electric water heaters, heat pumps, solar system inverters, and batteries for battery energy management. It can even take local electricity prices into account and help you optimize your home’s energy use to save on costs.

However, the support for security cameras is expected to be added in a future update, Matter 1.5. As Samsung was quick to adopt Matter 1.3, we can expect SmartThings to add 1.4 support sometime in 2025.

Unlocked Galaxy S23 November 2024 update

Google wants more third-party Android apps to support RAW photo capture. The company is preparing to upgrade the CameraX API. Following the update, Samsung users will also be able to capture RAW photo through third-party Android apps.

AndroidAuthority spotted that CameraX 1.5.0 will bring two new ImageCapture class output formats: OUTPUT_FORMAT_RAW and OUTPUT_FORMAT_RAW_JPEG. That said, RAW capture support will expand to more Android apps.

  • OUTPUT_FORMAT_RAW: It captures a single RAW image.
  • OUTPUT_FORMAT_RAW_JPEG: It captures both a RAW and a JPEG image.

CameraX API is mainly used by camera apps that users use for social media sharing purposes. Despite this fact, Google intends to allow developers to support their apps with RAW capture functionality for an elevated photography experience.

At present, it’s unknown which Android apps will add RAW capture support. CameraX API will upgrade first, allowing developers to make changes. You can expect some of the most popular camera apps will join the party with RAW support.

Expert RAW

Developed by Samsung, the Expert RAW app allows Galaxy smartphone users to capture RAW images. These pictures are heavily editable given storage without any software-level processing and compression.

The company has made Expert RAW a stunning application. It has recently added an Astro Portrait feature that allows you to be framed with an astrophoto in the background. The application continues to evolve with the addition of new functions.
