One UI 7.1 may bring these Galaxy S25 Camera features to older phones

Samsung detailed the Galaxy S25 family’s new camera and editing features. Most of the new camera features debuted in the Galaxy S25 series may come to older phones with the One UI 7.1 update.
The One UI 7.0 update is expected to include plenty of useful features. However, Samsung would keep some features exclusive to the new flagships for a specific period before expansion.
Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 series is designed to be user-friendly and offers significantly enhanced features. The S25 Ultra gets a new 50MP ultrawide camera that is integrated with AI capabilities.
The Expert RAW app now includes a virtual aperture functionality in order to unlock DSLR-like aperture adjustments directly on the Galaxy S25 series camera.
The HDR feature is now enabled by default and offers brighter, more realistic videos. The Log Video feature has also been added, which makes it easier to color-grade videos after recording.
Here are the new features:
High-Resolution Close-Ups (Ultra)
The new 50MP ultra-wide sensor, four times larger than before, captures highly detailed and vivid images of both distant and close subjects.
Video Features
- 8K 30fps video now supports ultra-wide (0.6x) shooting.
- Instant Slow-Mo engine improves lens transitions during zoom changes (1x, 3x, 5x) in video recordings.
- The Zoom Rocker UI is available in standard video mode for smoother and controlled zoom adjustments.
Filters
Six new film-style filters (Soft, Sharp, Intense, Subtle, Warm, Dark) with a retro aesthetic have been added, alongside improved versions of the existing four filters, offering a total of 10 filters.
Customize filters with fine adjustments for color temperature, contrast, and saturation in 50 levels. Besides, AI-based custom filters allow you to create professional-grade photos tailored to various environments supported on the S25 series.
Log Video
Log format videos can now be saved during recording (available in standard and Pro Video modes). This format expands the dynamic range for professional-grade videography, supporting up to 8K 30fps.
Besides, you can apply 3D LUTs to Log videos for quick and precise color grading. Samsung Log LUTs (1D and 3D LUTs) are available for download from the Samsung Developer Portal for PC editors like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro.
10-bit HDR
The Galaxy S25 series allows you to experience lifelike visuals with 10-bit HDR, enabled by default for higher dynamic range. Hybrid Log Gamma is supported for compatibility, while HDR10+ is available via Camera Assistant.
Thanks to Samsung’s 10-bit tone algorithm processing, HDR video snapshots are sharper and more vibrant on the Galaxy S25 series.
Expert RAW and Virtual Aperture
Expert RAW’s new Virtual Aperture feature lets you control depth of field, offering DSLR-level aperture adjustments from F1.4 to F16 across 22 levels. Enhanced long-exposure shots are also supported with two new digital ND filter levels (2048, 4096).
Motion Photo
There’s a feature letting you capture 1.5 seconds before and after pressing the shutter button by default, with an option to save 3 seconds before the shot. Once done, you can easily and effortlessly merge Motion Photos into a seamless video clip.
Pixel phones like AI-powered Best Face selection recommend the best face for up to 5 people (3 suggestions per face) to further improve your photographs.
Single Take
Last but not least, the Single Take’s time machine tool saves up to 5 seconds of footage before pressing the shutter button. A snapshot button lets you capture 12MP stills during recording, viewable in the gallery’s Single Take section.
Samsung said it’s working to optimize the new Camera features for older Galaxy models. The One UI 7 update may be released next month, while the One UI 7.1 is likely to be revealed in Q2 2025.

Will you get the Samsung One UI 7 update in February 2025? [Updated]

Where is the One UI 7 update for my Samsung Galaxy device? YES, this is the most trending question among Galaxy users all around the world.
You see it everywhere – on tech forums, X threads, and YouTube comment sections. People are desperate for the new features, better security, and fresh look of One UI 7. This update is not just about making things run smoother, it is about new AI stuff that could change how we use our phones.
But since Samsung rolls out One UI updates at different times for different phones and countries, everyone’s wondering: when will I get it?
The stable version of One UI 7 was released at the same time as the new Samsung phones, the Galaxy S25 series. These phones were unveiled on January 22, 2025, and come with One UI 7 pre-installed. However, for those not upgrading to the S25, if you’re holding onto your Galaxy S24 or earlier models, the stable update is now in sight.
The stable update for existing devices, including the S24 series, which has been in beta testing and has received multiple beta builds, is expected to start rolling out in late February 2025. There’s also talk about the 4th beta build for the Galaxy S24 series before the stable rollout. However, we still do not have confirmation on when there will be a stable or beta rollout for the Galaxy S24 series or other older Galaxy devices.
I have also confirmed with Samsung Support in the US, that they have no idea about the One UI 7 release date. You can read the statement below.

Keep an eye out in February if you’re on the Galaxy S24 series or other eligible devices, as that’s when Samsung is expected to start expanding the stable update’s availability.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs S24 Ultra: Side by Side Comparison – Looks and Dimensions

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has some new design upgrades and we’ve put this phone side by side with S24 Ultra and stacked over each other to show you the closest comparison.
S25 Ultra vs S24 Ultra – Top and Bottom
S24 Ultra’s top and bottom view shows a flat surface with arcs on both ends, creating angular corners. The new device also has a flat top and bottom but with curved corners and a lower width. On paper, the S25 Ultra is 77.6mm and the S24 Ultra is 79mm wide.
The top contains a secondary microphone and an air vent hole with reduced space in the new phone. The GPS antenna is slightly moved to the left.

The bottom has two main antennas, offset from the previous position. The SIM card tray hole is now on the opposite side of the S24 Ultra, followed by the microphone. The USB Type C (charging/headphone) port remains the same.
Samsung has increased the speaker width, which may improve the sound. Another thing to notice is S-Pen’s head is thinner in the new flagship.
S25 Ultra vs S24 Ultra – Left and Right
The S25 Ultra has flattened the curved frame and it contributes to a slim form factor at 8.2mm. These two changes bring the new device to 218 grams in comparison to Galaxy S24 Ultra with 233 grams weight.
The right side has volume and power buttons and more antennas. The left side has no physical keys.

S25 Ultra vs S24 Ultra – Front
With those round corners and a flat frame, the S25 Ultra offers a more visually appealing front. This decluttering of extra width has created room for a 6.9-inch AMOLED display within an identical height (162.8mm) as the S24 Ultra (162.3mm) with a 6.8-inch screen.
Unfortunately, both phones have the same panel and there are no significant changes to find in terms of quality or brightness.
The new device uses Corning Gorilla Armor 2 + anti-reflective glass ceramic for better protection. To be mentioned, the anti-reflective protection was introduced with S24U.

S25 Ultra vs S24 Ultra – Back
S25 Ultra and its old version have the same rear frosted glass finish. The cameras are organized on the top left including an ultra-wide angle, a main camera, and two telephoto cameras. The setup also consists of a laser autofocus sensor and an LED flash.
These lenses have bigger crows glued on top. In my opinion, the S24 Ultra’s rear camera crowns look way better than these dark circles. However, many of you might prefer the new camera crowns.

Conclusion
In comparison to the S24 Ultra, Samsung has refined the design and the grip comfort for Galaxy S25 users. The phone offers a larger screen at the same dimensions and reduced weight. Overall, it’s a substantial improvement over last year’s device.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra running One UI 7 but has one big security flaw

Samsung’s latest offering, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, features cutting-edge hardware and a refined software experience with its Android 15-based One UI 7 pre-installed. However, with the excitement, there’s a significant concern after its launch.
Everyone loved the S25 Ultra’s speed, camera, and how well it works with One UI 7. But, there’s a big security problem that might spoil the fun.
In recently released February 2025 Android security patch details, Google disclosed a serious zero-day vulnerability that has been actively exploited. This vulnerability (which can be identified as CVE-2024-53104,) affects how Android devices handle video frames, potentially leading to memory instability that hackers could exploit. Google has encouraged all Android users to update their devices promptly to reduce this risk.
Unfortunately, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still running on the December 2024 security patch, leaving it vulnerable to this known exploit. This is particularly important because, unlike previous updates, it was urgent due to the active exploitation of the vulnerability.
Not having the newest security update on my S25 Ultra put me and other users at risk without knowing about it. This shows how important it is to get software updates quickly, especially for phones that are supposed to be the best in security (Sorry Knox!) and user experience.
Samsung now needs to act fast. The company must send out a quick update to fix this security vulnerability. People bought this phone expecting it to be very safe, so Samsung should keep its promise by protecting it from known threats.
Samsung usually reacts quickly to these problems, but the company is slow this time with the S25 Ultra (the S24 users crying in the background), which is concerning to me. The South Korean company needs to not only fix the issue but also keep their customers clearly informed about security updates.

In the end, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is great, but this security problem is a big mark against it. Users should watch for updates and install them right away. Samsung needs to make this fix a priority to keep users safe and keep its top phone’s reputation intact.
I reached out to Samsung for the official response on this but didn’t receive any confirmation yet.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Unboxing and First Impressions

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is being delivered and we now have an unboxing and first impressions experience with this new flagship, which appears to be slightly different from the previous model.
S25 Ultra Unboxing
The retail box’s dimensions are identical to last year’s S24 Ultra and highlight the frame and the S-Pen with white outlines. The box includes:
- SIM ejector tool
- USB-C to USB-C cable
- A quick start guide
- Galaxy S25 Ultra
That’s typical Samsung flagship stuff.

S25 Ultra First Impressions
The first look at the device goes to its shape, specifically, its outline. The trimmed corners are the center of discussion, which stands different from the S24 Ultra. The Titanium Silverblue color is prominent in the frame and frosted in the back due to the rear glass.
The sides are flat and the Titanium has a texture that doesn’t slip out of the grip. Some people might argue that the phone looks similar to an iPhone but that illusion ends when you get a hold of this device.
Actually, it feels more like S24U with flat and round experience. That’s it. One major change in hands-on experience becomes certain with its round corner, sitting well on the palm.

As a S24 Ultra owner, I also experience weight differences, a plus point for this new S25 Ultra. The weight and the design would no longer matter if you put on a protective cover, which most of the consumers would do.
On the other hand, the S-Pen is all the same, it’s similar to the last version, except for the lapsed Bluetooth functionality.
The camera system has a makeover with those new bold rings on top of the lenses. However, the internals remain the same for main and telephoto cameras, while increasing ultra-wide angle to 50MP. A major overhaul in the camera app made it easy to navigate features while decluttering the viewport.

Furthermore, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite shows its impact on performance and the phone is providing fast response in every touch input on the screen. It is loaded with One UI 7.0 software out of the box with generative AI features, which might amuse some customers.
Conclusion
The initial impression on this device shows a descent upgrade from last year. With that said, we conclude the unboxing and hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra but this flagship has a lot to explore, please stay updated with us for more detailed explorations.
