TL;DR
- Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update could bring major upgrades to the Camera app.
- The changes include LUT presets for LOG video and 3D capture features.
- APV video support also appears, with conversion available in the Gallery app.
Samsung’s next big software update, One UI 8.5, is shaping up to be a major one. We’ve already spotted a bunch of interesting features that might arrive, and we’re not the only ones investigating. If these findings from others tinkering around with the build are anything to go by, the Camera app is about to get some pretty interesting upgrades.
SammyGuru spotted a couple of X posts highlighting the camera settings in testing. The first comes from user @achour_hm, who shared a short video showing new LUT (Look-Up Table) options in the stock video editor. LUTs are basically presets that change the look of your video, not dissimilar to how filters on your pictures work. In the clip showing the settings in French, the same scene flips between different moods, including Standard, Blockbuster, Initiatique, and Thriller.

Should this make the stable release, it would be an easy way to give LOG video, which usually looks dull and flat, a more polished or dramatic finish without professional software.
That’s not all, with developer @LaidBackDev_ posting several screenshots of code strings found while decompiling the One UI 8.5 camera app. The findings point to 3D capture and APV (Advanced Professional Video) support coming to the app, with the strings in the code mentioning 3D photos and videos you can view on a VR headset. They also hint at some limitations, such as it only working with the wide-angle lens, no option to shoot GIFs or burst photos while it’s on, and that the app may prompt you to add more light or rotate your phone before capturing.

According to the user and two more of their code-string images, APV also shows up directly in Samsung’s Gallery app, with an option to convert APV videos into the more common HEVC format. That suggests Samsung isn’t just experimenting with the feature but actually preparing the whole pipeline for its use.
Like when we manage to spot strings of code hidden away in unreleased builds, these discoveries don’t guarantee the features will ship in the final One UI 8.5 release. But if they do, Galaxy owners could be getting some handy new tools for both casual and professional shooting.

Sounds Nerdy Insights
- What’s interesting here's how Samsung is stepping up to tap into the creator community with this update. Giving users pro-style tools can really enhance the way we communicate through visual content.
- Plus, with features like LUTs, they’re making high-quality video production accessible without needing an editing suite – which could really inspire everyday users to try their hand at filmmaking.
- This move also places them in direct competition with brands focusing on camera capabilities, which might push them to keep innovating down the line.
- Think about it—more people using their phones for clearly, professional gigs means happier users who can share directly from their device and elevate their social media game.
- I’m curious how this will play out among creators currently relying on dedicated cameras versus those who see this upgrade and decide to stick with their phones.
- On a lighter note, just imagine if we all start sending around 3D photos—it could add a whole new layer of fun to sharing memories!
- Overall, it's exciting to think about how these potential updates could touch everything from vloggers to just folks wanting to add a creative edge to their Instagram feed. It feels like a bright spot in tech that actually speaks towards empowering users creatively rather than just style over substance!
