A lot has been said about the impressive capabilities of our phone cameras when it comes to capturing photos. However, they are also quite effective at recording videos. Unfortunately, unwanted background noise can often be captured when filming.

The Audio Magic Eraser is a valuable feature that leverages artificial intelligence to eliminate unwanted noise from recorded videos. While this tool is currently exclusive to Google Pixel 8 and later models, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, it now looks like a similar tool could be coming to Samsung devices.

According to leaker Ice Universe on Weibo, the manufacturer of the Galaxy S24 series is working on an audio eraser tool that may be included in the next version of One UI 7. They also shared a screenshot showing the feature in action.

Google’s Audio Magic Eraser utilizes advanced machine learning to identify and isolate sounds like speech, music, and background noise. This technology lets you selectively reduce or eliminate distracting sounds while preserving important audio. For example, you can quickly lower the noise of a crowd at a concert or the wind in a scenic video, all while keeping the voices clear and audible. Audio Magic Eraser functions like a virtual sound engineer, refining your videos to make them more enjoyable to watch and listen to. The result is cleaner, more professional-sounding videos with enhanced audio quality.

According to a screenshot, Samsung’s version could offer similar features, such as the ability to adjust the volume of voices, wind, and other sounds. The tool could also incorporate volume sliders, allowing you to fine-tune the audio levels in your videos manually.

Samsung has begun circulating the first beta version of One UI 7, which will introduce Android 15 to compatible devices. A public release of this software update is expected in the coming weeks. The “next” version of One UI 7 that Ice Universe mentions would not be available until later.

When might that happen? Samsung could likely launch a newer version of One UI 7 alongside its upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to be revealed as soon as next month. If this occurs, any audio eraser tools from Samsung may be exclusive to these new devices. The Galaxy S25 series is anticipated to include the standard Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Assuming this rumor is accurate, this is significant news for Samsung device owners. Any time companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung improve video-recording capabilities, it benefits both amateur and professional videographers.

Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 series brings a few improvements, especially for the flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra. While the new ultrawide camera, improved build, and thinner body may be the ones that stand out the most, one particular feature could offer the best quality of life improvements.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra comes equipped with the same 45W charging speeds as its predecessors, although overall charging speeds have been improved by around 3-4% over last year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra. Alongside this, however, Samsung has also equipped the Galaxy S25 Ultra with compatibility for the Qi2.1 wireless charging standard, making it the first smartphone to support the next generation of wireless charging.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge cameras

Samsung fans can finally rejoice as we have something truly different with the Galaxy S25 series. No, it’s not the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, or the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but rather, the new Galaxy S25 Edge. Yes, Samsung has revived its Edge branding, and in many ways, it follows the essence of the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S7 Edge of years ago.

After the credits rolled at Samsung Unpacked last week — and as some people made their way to the exits — the company pulled off an interesting one more thing. It wasn’t a teaser like the Galaxy Ring last year, but rather it was an announcement — of sorts, at least — of the new Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera has the same 200-megapixel main camera, 50MP telephoto for 5x optical zoom, and 10MP telephoto for 3x optical zoom as the Galaxy S24 Ultra. What’s new, outside of the processor and software driving it, is a new 50MP wide-angle camera. Samsung has collaborated with Qualcomm on a special Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor and uses plenty of AI in the camera for improved results.
