Samsung has given its Galaxy Enhance-X app a surprising makeover, and this one is not just about moving buttons around. As reported by Android Authority, Samsung has quietly released the Galaxy Enhance-X version 16.3.00.31, bringing a redesigned interface and a bunch of new editing features for photos, videos, and documents.

This update is currently live, and listed on the Galaxy Store. With this update, Samsung is trying to turn Enhance-X app into something a lot more flexible than its previous iteration.

What’s new with the Galaxy Enhance-X app?

The biggest immediate change is the layout. Samsung has now split the app into a three-tab interface, which includes Plugins, Home, and History. Plugins is exactly what it sounds like, Home is where the main editing happens, and History keeps track of previously edited files.

The new plugins are where things get fun. Samsung has introduced a modular plugin system, and there are three available right now. This includes CinematicGlow, which adds a soft dreamy diffusion effect, FilmStyle, which brings nine film-inspired filters, and SkyGuide, which identifies stars, constellations, and other celestial objects in night-sky shots. These plugins are downloaded separately through the Galaxy Store and then appear inside Galaxy Enhance-X as add-on tools.

The dedicated tab for this also gives Samsung room to keep expanding the app without turning the base experience into a bloated mess. Trying it on my Galaxy S26, the experience was pretty clean and intuitive.

What else does it offer?

The update also brings expanded photo, video, and document editing tools. The Photo tools section now includes things like blur fixing, reflection removal, HDR, sharpening, and more, while the Face editing section lets users adjust smoothness, tone, eyes, and jawline. On the document side, Samsung has added Doc tools that can automatically clean and crop scans, convert and combine files into JPEGs or PDFs, and even let users add filters, translate, draw, crop, and add text.

For more functionality, there is also batch editing that lets users process multiple photos or videos at once. Meanwhile, the new History tab keeps everything organized in standard file formats like JPEG, MP4, and PDF. All of this basically makes Samsung’s Galaxy Enhance-X into a more interesting editing app.

Better quality, smaller file size, and no status bar. iOS 27's video frame feature beats screenshots on every count.

If you've ever been on vacation and chose to record video instead of taking photos only to avoid missing the fun moments, thinking you’d pause and take screenshots later, you might have ended up questioning your decision later. 

You see, the process involves multiple steps, starting from hunting for the right frame, pausing, and taking a screenshot. If it doesn’t look good, you go back to the video, pause somewhere else, and try taking another screenshot. You see where I’m going with this?
