Samsung's One UI 8.5 update promises to be one of the most exciting releases yet, particularly for mobile photography and videography enthusiasts. Recent leaks and code inspections reveal that they intend to supercharge the Galaxy Camera app with both creative tools and pro-level features that should make photography and videography even more exciting than before.

New LUT Filters in Video Editor

A leaked video shared on X revealed new LUT (Look-Up Table) options inside Samsung’s stock video editor. LUTs work like advanced filters, instantly giving your footage a distinct look. The presets spotted include:

- Standard

- Blockbuster

- Initiatique

- Thriller

For creators, this means LOG video—which often looks flat—could be transformed with cinematic moods straight from the gallery, without needing third-party software.

3D Capture Support

Code strings uncovered by developer @LaidBackDev_ point to a new 3D capture mode. This feature would allow Galaxy users to shoot 3D photos and videos, viewable on VR headsets.

However, the leaks also hint at some limitations:

- Works only with the wide-angle lens

- No GIFs or burst shots in this mode

- May require better lighting or device rotation prompts

If finalised, this could be Samsung’s boldest step yet into immersive media.

Advanced Professional Video (APV)

Another notable discovery is APV (Advanced Professional Video) support. Strings found in the Camera and Gallery apps suggest:

- Dedicated APV recording inside the Camera app

- Ability to convert APV videos to HEVC in the Gallery app

- Full integration across Samsung’s editing pipeline

This positions Samsung to offer cinema-grade shooting controls right on its smartphones.

Should You Expect These Features?

As with any leaked build, there's no guarantee all these tools will make their way into One UI 8.5 when released officially, but Samsung appears to be testing and baking code into their system as part of an extensive rollout preparation plan.

If they arrive, Galaxy users could see a huge boost in creative flexibility, whether for casual filters or professional video production.

Key Takeaway

One UI 8.5 isn’t just about cosmetic tweaks—it could redefine mobile content creation. With LUT filters, 3D capture, and APV, Samsung is turning the Galaxy Camera into a tool for both casual users and serious filmmakers.
