Galaxy S22 will get these One UI 6.1.1 Camera/Gallery features
Samsung Galaxy S22 seems ineligible for the One UI 6.1.1 update. The company yesterday announced the expansion of the new OS to older Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S24 started getting it, while the S23 series will join the party on September 12.
Korean community moderator revealed One UI 6.1.1 camera and gallery features for the Galaxy S22 series. While the entire suite of Galaxy AI isn’t confirmed, for now, consumers will be getting pretty much content from Samsung’s book.
Galaxy S22 series will get enhanced Live effects, Motion Clipper, Portrait Studio, Sketch to Image, and Overlay Translation. These are the features that will also be available on Galaxy flagships launched in 2023 and 2024.
One UI 6.1.1 features arriving on S22 series
1) Live effects: You can enjoy photos with people and animals in them in three dimensions.
2) Motion Clipper: You can create moving stickers and GIFs by long-pressing on a Motion Photo to select it.
3) Portrait studio: You can save your photos by selecting from a variety of styles through AI generation.
4) Sketch to Image: You can add a sketch drawn on top of your photo by creating an image.
5) Overlay Translation: The company provides natural translation results by maintaining the text and background color of the original image and improving readability by overlaying it on the image.
It’s worth noting that the Korean tech giant hasn’t announced the release date for the S22 series. However, the new features will likely be distributed as part of the September 2024 update rollout for eligible models sequentially.
Galaxy S25 vanilla model could use MediaTek Dimensity chip. This wild rumor comes after Samsung adopted Dimensity chipset across the Tab S10 lineup. It is being said that the cheapest S25 model could be equipped MediaTek chip globally.
Samsung will debut the Galaxy S25 series in early next year. Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is all set to be used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 base variant could make use of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor.
The reason is, cost…
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 reportedly costs 20% less than the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Samsung could cancel the Exynos 2500 chip in the Galaxy S25 series. Hence, the Dimensity 9400 could be a good option to keep the dual-chip strategy alive.
It seems Samsung is exploring ways to diversify its mobile chip supply chain. Exynos SoCs could stay away from mainstream flagships until reaching the performance benchmark. As MediaTek is doing good, the base variant should get it.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 shares the same fabrication tech as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The US tech giant has fueled its Oryon architecture which brings a major push to overall performance but results in higher costs.
There are rumors of Galaxy S26 cancellation due to low demand for small flagship. The company could make this chip difference to clot the Plus and Ultra sales. However, these all are just assumptions as the official launch is far away.
Dimensity 9400 could feature Arm’s all-new Cortex-X925 CPU and Immortalis G925 GPU. Arm revealed that the target frequency of the X925 is 3.6GHz and higher. Immortalis-G925 GPU is designed to offer the best gaming and AI experience
