Samsung is rolling out the fourth One UI 7 beta update for its Galaxy S24 series, bringing exciting new camera features and the February Android security patch. Users in India and Korea are reporting the update’s arrival, adding functionality previously exclusive to the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Key Camera Enhancements in One UI 7 Beta 4
This beta update introduces significant camera improvements, including LOG video capture and AI filters, enhancing the S24’s photographic capabilities.
LOG Video Capture for Professional Results
The most anticipated addition is LOG video capture, a feature previously introduced with the Galaxy S25 series and mirroring Apple’s “pro” feature on the iPhone 15 Pro. LOG capture produces a flat, unprocessed video ideal for professional color grading and post-production editing. While initially appearing greyish, LOG footage preserves significantly more detail and dynamic range data compared to standard video formats. This provides editors with pristine sensor data, allowing for greater control over the final look. Software like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve is typically required to edit LOG footage effectively. This feature is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra and can be enabled within the Advanced video options in the camera settings. Conveniently, Samsung’s Gallery app offers a “Correct Color” option to automatically adjust LOG videos without needing specialized editing software.
AI Filters for Creative Control
The entire Galaxy S24 series also benefits from new AI filters, similar to photographic styles on current iPhones, offering granular control over temperature, contrast, and saturation. Notably, users can create custom filters by selecting an image from their gallery. The AI then analyzes the chosen image’s color profile and aesthetics to generate a unique filter.
Additional Improvements and Bug Fixes
Beyond the camera upgrades, the beta update addresses several issues identified in previous versions. These fixes include UI errors on the lock screen and Always-On Display (AOD), quick panel UI errors, alarm grouping issues, fingerprint sensor stuttering, and disappearing elements. The update also includes the February Android security patch.
Conclusion
The One UI 7 Beta 4 update significantly improves the Galaxy S24 series’ camera capabilities, introducing features previously limited to newer models. The inclusion of LOG video capture and AI filters empowers users with more creative control and professional-grade editing options. Alongside these enhancements, the update addresses various bugs and improves overall system stability. While currently in beta, these features promise a more refined and powerful camera experience for Galaxy S24 users upon the official One UI 7 release.
