One UI 8.5 could make it easier to use pro camera controls

The camera app's Pro mode in One UI 8.5 may let you save custom settings presets and share them with other Galaxy phones.

On many Samsung smartphones, especially mid-range and high-end models, the Camera app offers a Pro mode. It lets you customise many aspects of the camera, such as focus length, shutter speed, exposure level, ISO value, Kelvin value, and white balance, enabling you to get the photo you want.

Well, with One UI 8.5, when you use the Pro mode and customise various camera aspects, you will be able to save those settings as a preset and load the preset the next time you want to capture a photo with the same camera settings. It may even let you share the preset with other Galaxy phones.

According to Android Authority, One UI 8.5 contains strings of code suggesting that the Camera app’s Pro mode will let you create a preset of the settings you customized in it. It also contains strings of code suggesting that you can share those presets with other Galaxy smartphones using Quick Share.

Samsung is expected to debut One UI 8.5 on the Galaxy S26 series. Several existing Galaxy devices are then expected to receive that update later. However, reports suggest that the launch of the Galaxy S26 lineup has been postponed, so the release of One UI 8.5 may have been pushed back as well.
