Samsung's 'Super Steady' Video Feature May Come to Older Flagships

Samsung's highly praised "Super Steady Video Stabilization" feature, known for its gimbal-like smoothness, may soon be available on older flagship phones. This feature, which uses extensive software cropping and gyroscope data to keep footage level with the horizon, is reportedly being tested in an internal build of One UI 9 for the S25 series.

One user shared findings from a One UI 9 internal test build (DZG4) on X, formerly Twitter, revealing the "Super Steady Video Stabilization" on an S25+ model. This suggests Samsung is considering bringing the feature to the S25 series via the One UI 9 update. While the feature provides impressive stability, it can slightly impact video quality due to the necessary cropping.

Samsung has not officially confirmed the rollout of One UI 9 for the S25 series or the availability of this stabilization feature for older devices. However, if the S25 series receives it, other older flagship models might also get the update in the future.

In addition to stabilization, the One UI 9 test build also revealed a new feature called "My FanCam." This AI-powered tool automatically identifies and tracks subjects in videos, recomposing the shot after recording to keep the main subject centered. Unlike existing Auto Track technology, My FanCam can adjust framing even if the subject wasn't initially centered during recording.

Samsung is expected to unveil its new foldable phones, rumored to be the Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, and Z Flip8, on July 22nd. These new devices are anticipated to be the first to feature One UI 9, with My FanCam potentially debuting alongside them.
