Galaxy S25 brings six new RAW image editing options

Among Samsung’s three newly launched flagship smartphones, only the top-of-the-line model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, offers an upgraded camera setup. The other two devices in the series, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+, carry over the same camera hardware from their predecessor.

However, all three phones come with new software features for cameras to improve image and video quality, as well as, offer more convenience. We already discussed how these phones can record LOG videos. As it turns out, they also offer more editing options for RAW images.
