Samsung appears to be planning to bring at least one new camera feature to the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the One UI 9.0 update. The company's 2025 flagship phone is set to receive the Virtual Reflector feature, which was originally introduced with the Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year.
Tipster Fahad Ali Javed recently managed to flash an internal One UI 9.0 build onto a Galaxy S25 Ultra and discovered that the phone's Expert RAW camera app includes the Virtual Reflector tool. The feature is designed to enhance portrait shots by letting users adjust the direction and intensity of lighting on a subject.

Virtual Reflector feature spotted in Galaxy S25 Ultra's stock Camera app in leaked One UI 9.0 firmware
By emulating a professional photographer's physical reflector used with studio lights, the virtual tool helps improve images captured in uneven lighting conditions.
When accessed within the Expert RAW app, the Virtual Reflector allows users to fine-tune the virtual light's color (such as golden or silver), adjust the reflectance strength, and precisely control the angle of the light using an intuitive circular orb interface.
