Camera settings to maximize your Galaxy S25 Ultra photography skills
The Galaxy S25 Ultra brings a new Ultra wide angle tagged with new camera features, and we brought you some settings to maximize your photography and videography skills with this flagship.
The S25 Ultra equips a quad camera system including a 200MP main lens with f/1.7 aperture. The 50MP telephoto camera provides 5X optical zoom and the 10MP secondary telephoto brings 3X optical. And you will see a brand new 50MP ultra-wide angle camera with f/1.9 aperture and 120-degree field of view. In addition, the company has put a new enhancement in night time videography compared to the previous model.
On top of that, you have a new camera app, with a minimalistic design, which focuses on providing you the utmost focus on the viewport. This new app is user-centric and enables you to see all essential features on the screen without creating any disturbance.
By default the app works great but its settings section has more potential to capture high quality photos and record better videos.
Note: These camera settings are not limited to the Galaxy S25 Ultra or photography.

Resolution
Galaxy S25 Ultra has three photo resolutions – 200MP, 50MP and 12MP but the phone is set to 12MP by default. If you want to take high resolution photographs, switch this resolution from the top toolbar.
You should know that using higher resolution may limit some features such as filters.
Similarly, you can increase the video resolution at up to 8K or Super Steady mode to increase image stabilization.
Camera ratio
You can customize the width and the height of the photos and videos. The default mode is set to 3:4 but you can change between 1:1, 9:16 and full.
Samsung Camera Ratio and Timer
Timer
Since Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S-Pen no longer has air actions, you can set a timer to capture a photograph with up to 10 seconds reverse countdown.
Shot suggestion
The phone’s AI can improve the shot as soon as you point the camera at the subject with on-screen guides. This feature is disabled by default in the camera settings.
Capture speed
S25 Ultra comes with post-capture photo optimizations. Its setting is set to Maximum by default but once you change it to minimum, the capture button rapidly becomes available for the next round due to minimum post-capture optimizations.
However, you can keep this setting if you want Samsung to enhance your shots.
Samsung Camera Settings Quality Optimization
Create GIFs
If you want to create quick GIFs, go to Camera > Camera settings > Swipe Shutter button to and select Create GIF.
HEIF
If you take a lot of photographs and want to keep your phone’s storage efficient, then choose this image format. However, it’s not supported on every platform and editing apps.
Pro mode
If you are using Pro Mode for extra control over your shots, then switch to RAW image format. It will give you more detailed output for advanced image editors.
Motion photo capture
You can now choose two different motion photo capture settings. To change this setting, go to Camera Settings and select your preference.
Selfie
Choose to capture images as previewed on the screen to save images as shown on the preview screen. This option is available in the Camera settings as “Save selfies as previewed”.
Videos
Auto FPS
This setting will let you record bright videos in low-light with auto optimizations to the frame rate after you select the video mode. There are a bunch of video settings stationed under Advanced video options.
You can switch the video format, record videos in high bitrate, or even enable audio playback during video recording, which used to stop as soon as you press the record button.
Tracking auto focus
This feature will let you keep the rear camera focused on the selected subject even if they move. Enable this from the Camera settings by tapping on the slider.
Composition guide
This feature will show you horizontal and vertical guidelines to help you get a grip on your subject in the viewport. You can choose how much area the subject will cover in your viewport.
One UI 7 lets you customize these composition guides for a personalized user experience.
Location tags
Another feature that’s off by default is the Location tag, you can tag each photograph with location metadata, that will stay within those pictures for memory and make them easy to search.
Shooting method
Galaxy S25 Ultra can capture photographs with voice commands, palm gesture, and even volume button but you can expand the scope of this capturing by enabling a virtual shutter button that you can drag and drop anywhere on the app screen within the reach of your thumbs or fingers.
Settings to keep
This setting is built for those who want to retain their camera settings when the app closes. For example, you can leave the app on video mode and the app will greet you with the same mode when you launch the app next time.
Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra have introduced exposure settings, which you can now also retain in each session.
Supported settings to keep are different and you can enable or disable them separately.
Conclusion
Some of these camera settings are exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series and One UI 7, and you can tweak them to get a better photography and videography experience on the go.

Galaxy A36
The Galaxy A36 offers a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It runs on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip with 6GB of RAM, and comes with 128GB of storage (no microSD slot).
Moreover, the phone features IP67 water resistance and a 5,000mAh battery with fast 45W charging. It has a triple rear camera setup – 50MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide camera, and 5MP macro camera. The front camera is 12MP.
Galaxy A26
The Galaxy A26 shares many features with the A36, like the 6.7-inch screen and 5,000mAh battery. However, it uses Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chip instead of the Snapdragon.
The phone has a triple rear camera setup of 50MP, 8MP, and a 2MP macro sensor. The Galaxy A26’s front camera is 13MP, and it includes a microSD card slot for extra storage. It features a 25W charging speed, slower than the Galaxy A36.
A new set of Galaxy S25 Edge renders have appeared online and revealed information about the upcoming device, including its design as well as specs.
Winfuture has shared a bunch of material about Galaxy S25 Edge starting with the launch date, which could happen next month, but an exact date is not shared.
The phone will equip a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 2400 x 1000 pixels resolution. The display is flat on all side, rounded corners, and a hole punch to feature a selfie camera. The front appearance is identical to the Galaxy S25 and S25+.
The S25 Edge will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The other three models from the lineup also have this chipset, enhancing the processing capability over Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It means that the phone will also support all of the latest Galaxy AI features.
Unlike its S25 siblings, the Edge model will offer two rear cameras, including a 200MP main sensor. The secondary will a 12MP camera, probably for ultra-wide angle photography. It was previously rumored to bring ALoP camera, a next-generation telescope lens, but this tech remains unconfirmed in the renders.
The S25 Edge is 5.8mm thick, which excludes the camera bump. However, achieving a thin form factory would require the company to sacrifice an important aspect – battery.
This minimized size wouldn’t allow Samsung to in-built a large capacity. Hence, the source suggests that the mAh size in S25 Edge will be, 3900mAh. This is fairly low compared to the S25 Plus with 4,900mAh.
Interestingly, the phone has three variants Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Icy Blue. These names indicate that the phone will be using a titanium design similar to the S25 Ultra.
With each popular model, Samsung has developed a tradition of offering online exclusive colors, and we can hope the same for the S25 Edge.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will soon make its way to the global customers and a dummy version of the device has revealed a massive upgrade in a side by side comparison to the S25 Ultra.
A Korean YouTuber has published a video featuring S25 Edge dummy, actually two dummies of the unreleased device, and explained some upgrades over the high-specs Samsung flagship.
Starting with looks, the YouTuber had two dummies, one in white and the other in all-black color. The rear side is plain as standard S25 model, with a more clear look at the vertical camera integration.
The phone has two lenses and their outlook is similar in size. The camera bump is only visible for design purpose, consisting of an LED flash.
The overall appearance is quite identical to the standard S25 and S25+. Notably, the black version has all colored appearance including a black frame, which blends into the rear.
The dummy was measured in real-time with a digital scale, revealing a 5.84mm thickness, around 2.4mm thinner than the S25 Ultra (8.2mm).

In a head’s down, side by side comparison, the S25 Edge looks impressively slimmer than the S25 Ultra. That’s not it, there’s more to observe in this shot.
Look at the components, the decreased thickness cannot be achieved without components and Samsung affirmed this in the short teaser at Unpacked 2025.

The teaser showed redesigned spare parts for this flagship. The look at the bottom of the device reveals trimmed charging port, the Sim Tray, and reshuffled speaker location.
A rear shot suggests that the phone has a slight less width than the Ultra, but the difference doesn’t look much in the video.

Another thing to note is that the device is smaller than the S25 Ultra, which is due to the smaller screen size at around 6.5-6.7-inches. The Galaxy S25 Edge dummy looks quite compelling with its design cut over S25 Ultra.
Conclusion
The new design upgrade will improve the in-hand experience for Galaxy S25 Edge users but we’ll have to wait for an official release date.
Samsung is preparing the Galaxy S25 Edge for a debut, featuring new colors, including an all-black variant that looks better on its slim form factor.
Tipster Max Jambor has shared some information about the potential color options for this upcoming Galaxy device, including Black, Gray and Blue.
Max also posted an image consisting of three wallpapers, which probably belongs to the S25 Edge, as he was talking about the three colors in a prior post.
Yesterday, a Korean YouTuber published a video based on S25 Edge’s dummy model and revealed that it’s only 5.8mm thin, which is about 2.4mm thinner than the S25 Ultra, Samsung’s latest flagship.

The dummy model showed new developments that Samsung has brought to the device, thanks to reinvented components to give this phone desired dimensions.
The YouTuber showcased a black Galaxy S25 Edge dummy with a full color body, including a similar color frame. On the other hand, the white model has an aluminum color frame.
Samsung may have more colors for the Galaxy S25 Edge, but we’ll have to wait for an official release to know more about the device.
