Samsung has just launched its newest Galaxy S Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S26 FE. It succeeds the Galaxy S25 FE and brings several hardware and software upgrades over its predecessor. One of them is Super Steady video recording with Horizontal Lock.
The Horizontal Lock feature was introduced with the Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier this year. It works with the rear-facing primary camera. You need to enable it before starting a recording. Once you enable it and start the recording, it keeps the horizon level throughout the video, even if you rotate the phone.
In other words, no matter how much you rotate the phone while recording, the video will have the same orientation. This makes Horizontal Lock particularly useful for recording action and adventure activities, where the phone may move or rotate frequently.
You can enable Horizontal Lock by opening the Camera app, switching to the Video mode, and tapping the Super Steady icon (the running person-shaped icon). Then, tap the icon showing a running person with a diagonal slash through it to enable Horizontal Lock.
The Galaxy S26 FE offers a faster processor, a more advanced front camera, and new Galaxy AI features over the Galaxy S25 FE. You can check out the phone's pricing and availability here, and its software update policy here.

I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
