Have you ever captured a moment that felt epic, only to look at your phone and see a photo that just doesn't do it justice? We've all been there: the blurry action shot of your dog, the perfect group photo ruined by a single blink, or the sunset that looks flat and lifeless on screen. What if you could fix all that with just a few taps?

Four Samsung Galaxy S25 phones in different colours

The latest Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra are here, and they're packed with a suite of AI tools that might just be the upgrade you've been waiting for. With Galaxy AI(1), Samsung has integrated artificial intelligence directly into the photography experience, making it one of the first phones where these features feel truly intuitive and powerful.

A Smarter Camera for Every Moment

At its core, the Galaxy S25’s camera system is impressive on its own, featuring a versatile triple-lens setup with a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. But the real magic happens when this hardware is combined with Galaxy AI.

The camera intelligently adapts to your environment.

  • In low light: Whether you're in a candle-lit restaurant or capturing the last light of dusk, the advanced Nightography(2) algorithms kick in. This feature significantly reduces noise and enhances clarity, giving you crisp, vivid photos without the usual graininess. It’s the difference between a beautiful memory and a blurry, "you had to be there" shot.
  • In bright light: The S25 also prevents overexposure in bright conditions. It balances highlights and shadows perfectly, even when shooting against a bright window or reflective surfaces. Say goodbye to washed-out selfies and hello to studio-quality lighting, anywhere.

Your Creative Toolkit Powered by AI

While the AI functionality are woven throughout the entire S25 user experience, the camera's editing tools are where the power of Galaxy AI truly shines. Here are a few standout features that will change the way you edit photos.

1. Generative Edit and Object Eraser

This is the feature you'll wonder how you ever lived without. With Generative Edit(3), you can easily manipulate your photos. Just circle an object to select it, and you can move, resize, or delete it completely.

Did someone walk into the background of your perfect vacation photo? Poof, they're gone. Are distracting power lines ruining your landscape? Erase them in seconds. The AI doesn't just delete the object; it intelligently fills in the background to match the rest of the image, making the edit look completely seamless.

You can also get creative with features like Portrait Studio, which uses Galaxy AI to transform your portraits into stylized avatars, perfect for sharing on social media.

2. Sketch to Image

Unleash your creativity with Sketch to Image(4). This tool lets you draw doodles or trace shapes directly onto a photo, and then the AI refines your drawing to blend it realistically into the image. It’s a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your pictures, whether you're adding a heart around your pet or turning a simple photo into a unique meme for your group chat.

We’ve all experienced the endless scroll, trying to find that one specific photo from years ago. The Galaxy S25's Gallery app(5) solves this problem with powerful multimodal AI.

By understanding both images and natural language, the app lets you search for photos using descriptive phrases. You can search for "cats in superhero Halloween costumes," and Galaxy AI will instantly find every relevant picture in your library. No more digging through thousands of photos to find a memory—your conversations can keep flowing, and your fries can stay hot.

The Verdict: A Genuinely Smart Photo Experience

The intelligence layer that Samsung has added to its already impressive camera hardware feels like the final piece of the puzzle. For both casual photographers and serious enthusiasts, the S25 offers tools that are both incredibly powerful and surprisingly easy to use.

Crucially, these features aren't hidden away in complicated menus. The updated user interface makes discovering and using AI tools a breeze, meaning you don't need to be a tech expert to create share-worthy shots. By focusing on a seamless user experience, Samsung has created a phone that empowers you to be more creative and finally capture the photos you've always envisioned.
