While the two features offer different camera experiences, both draw on expertise spanning foundational technology research, feature development, and user experience design.

As part of “The People Behind the Galaxy Z Series’ Camera Innovations,” Samsung Newsroom sat down with experts from Samsung Research and the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business to discuss the technical challenges and collaboration behind the two features.

A sharply defined subject against a softly blurred background creates a sense of depth long associated with professional camera lenses. Researchers have continued to explore ways to achieve this effect in smartphone video.

With the Galaxy Z series, Portrait Video recreates the distinctive depth and Bokeh¹ of a large-aperture lens². To make this possible, Samsung Research analyzed the optical characteristics of actual camera lenses and developed AI-powered video processing technology, while the MX Business optimized it for the device.

Samsung Newsroom spoke with YoungGeol Kim of the Visual Technology Team at Samsung Research and Sang-uk Park, responsible for camera development at the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business, about how Portrait Video evolved from a research concept into a Galaxy camera feature.

A New Level of Depth in Portrait Video

Q. What is Portrait Video? What has changed with the latest Galaxy Z series?

Park: Portrait Video keeps the main subject in focus while softly blurring the background, creating a cinematic look that makes the subject stand out.

On the Galaxy Z series, the degree of blur changes naturally based on the distance between the subject and background. Small background lights appear as soft, rounded Bokeh, much as they would through a large-aperture lens. This allows users to draw attention to the subject and capture videos with greater depth and atmosphere using just a smartphone, without the need for separate professional equipment.

Users can also shift the focus to a different subject or adjust the blur level after filming.

Q. What inspired the technology behind Portrait Video?

Kim: Photography has been my hobby for 25 years. That passion led me to camera technology research and development and sparked a lasting interest in the unique visual character of lenses.

As smartphone cameras advanced rapidly, photography benefited from a range of new features and improvements in image quality. Video evolved quickly as well, but I saw further potential in recreating the depth and background rendering of professional camera lenses. We proposed the idea during the research stage, just as the MX Business was exploring ways to help users create professional-looking videos more easily — paving the way for joint development.

Q. How did the teams collaborate to turn Portrait Video into a camera feature?

Kim: Existing solutions alone weren’t enough to achieve the natural lens rendering we wanted. At the time, Samsung Research’s technology was still in the research stage, so applying it to a product was not an easy decision. Even so, the MX Business recognized its potential and decided to commercialize it.

From there, full-scale testing and refinement began. We evaluated the technology on actual devices and exchanged feedback, turning it into a camera feature for users.

Park: To prepare the feature for real-world use, we had to shoot countless videos under a wide range of conditions and validate the results. Since the feature is centered on people, experts from both teams even served as models and filmed one another. We focused particularly on how naturally subjects were separated from their backgrounds and whether the blur and Bokeh looked right at different distances.

As we filmed each other, reviewed the results together and continued our discussions, what I remember most is how noticeably the results improved.

Large-Aperture Lens Rendering on Smartphones

Q. What is the key technology that takes Portrait Video to the next level?

Kim: The key is technology that recreates the distinctive look of large-aperture professional camera lenses in smartphone video. We used AI and optical analysis to make this possible.

Simply blurring an image is not enough to reproduce the depth and natural background rendering of a professional camera. Conventional blur softens an image by blending surrounding colors, but a large-aperture lens works differently. The degree of blur changes naturally based on the distance between the subject and background, while bright points of light spread into Bokeh that retain their shape and brightness. The shapes and textures of these out-of-focus areas are known as bokeh.

This requires accounting for both subject-to-background distance and how light spreads through an actual camera lens.

Recreating this effect on a smartphone required two elements. First, we analyzed how light spreads through a real large-aperture lens and the resulting bokeh characteristics, then converted the results into data. We combined this with AI-estimated distance information for the scene, allowing the system to adjust the degree of blur and bokeh size based on the distance between the subject and background.

Q. What technical challenges did the teams face when creating blur and bokeh on smartphones?

Kim: The biggest challenge was naturally rendering complex boundaries between the subject and background, such as hair or eyeglass frames. On smartphones, AI-estimated distance information alone isn’t sufficient to accurately distinguish fine boundaries. Even a small error can blur strands of hair or leave parts of the background sharp, making the subject look unnaturally cut out.

To address this, we combined AI-estimated distance information with boundary information from the original footage, allowing for natural separation between the subject and background even around fine details such as hair.

Park: Maintaining consistent results across different shooting conditions — including weather, lighting, subject movement, and distance — was crucial. We repeatedly filmed under a wide range of conditions and reviewed the results, improving unnatural elements through software optimization and additional AI training data. Building on Samsung Research’s technology, image quality experts from the MX Business also evaluated the results from a user perspective, further refining the feature.

Q. What did it take to make this complex video processing reliable and ready for use on the Galaxy Z series?

Kim: The biggest hurdle was reducing power consumption and heat generation without compromising quality. Video is a rapid sequence of images, so processing 4K video in real time requires significant computation.

That meant we had to prioritize. We preserved the processing essential to image quality while reducing computation in areas where users were unlikely to notice a difference.

As a result, we struck a balance between natural lens rendering and real-time processing, ensuring stable, efficient performance even during extended recording.

More Freedom in Video Creation

Q. What are some tips to help users get the most out of Portrait Video?

Kim: To make bokeh stand out, look for scenes with bright light sources against a relatively dark background. Sunlight sparkling through leaves, Christmas lights, or streetlights at night can spread softly into circular Bokeh, creating a more atmospheric look.

When filming a person, it’s best to avoid strong light from the front. Instead, position the light source behind or to the side of the subject. This can softly illuminate the subject’s hair and contours while making the background Bokeh more prominent. Reflected light or ambient sources like streetlights can help keep the face from getting too dark for a more balanced result.

Q. What reaction would you most like to hear from people who have tried Portrait Video?

Park: I’d like users, creators, and video professionals to be surprised by how easy it is to create cinematic video on a smartphone. I hope the natural blur, Bokeh, and post-capture editing features give them greater freedom to achieve the look and feel they want.

Kim: Ultimately, I hope people feel they no longer need to carry a separate professional camera. We will continue advancing the underlying technologies so they can create cinematic videos with just a smartphone.

Bringing the cinematic shallow depth of field and light rendering of professional camera lenses to smartphone video required extensive testing and collaboration to turn a research concept into a reliable product feature. Developed through the combined expertise of Samsung Research and the MX Business, Portrait Video expands the Galaxy video experience — giving users more ways to realize their creative vision.

When shopping for a new phone, you’ve probably read reviews and watched comparison videos in search of the “best” device.

While rankings can be helpful, they can’t answer the most important question: which phone is best for me? That answer depends on personal considerations like how you prefer to work, create and stay connected throughout your day.

Why Does Samsung Offer Multiple Foldable Form Factors?

The best foldable isn’t the same for everyone. That’s exactly why Samsung offers three distinct foldable designs with the new Galaxy Z series.

Whether you want to consolidate with a single mobile device that can power through your to-do list, a screen built for streaming and reading, or looking for something more compact and convenient, Galaxy Z series has options.

Through eight generations of refinement, Samsung understands what users want most from foldables. The new Galaxy Z series is the result of all that experience. Every device delivers in the areas users care about most: displays, durability, portability and performance.

As foldable smartphones move from niche innovation to an increasingly established category, there is an interesting story to be told about what it actually takes to build a phone that folds — and what years of developing the technology have taught Samsung about the future of mobile.

Samsung has been at the center of that evolution, from the first Galaxy Fold in 2019 to the increasingly refined Galaxy Z family today. Along the way, it has learned that successful foldables are not created by solving one engineering challenge. They require continuous learning across hardware, software, AI and, perhaps most importantly, human behavior.

Here are eight areas where Samsung has pushed foldables forward.

1. Making foldables more durable

The visible innovation may be a screen that folds, but making that possible requires solving challenges around durability, materials, display support and hinge engineering – challenges that simply don’t exist on conventional smartphones

Samsung’s new Flex Titanium technology in the Galaxy Z series uses a titanium-based display structure to strengthen the display support, improve durability and reduce crease visibility, while helping enable a thinner device¹.

2. Making the fold feel seamless and effortless

Years of development have shown that the hinge isn’t just a mechanical component – it affects how naturally a device opens, how thin it can be and how comfortable it feels in everyday use.

The latest Galaxy Z series combines refinements to the hinge mechanism, display tension and folding magnets to make unfolding smoother and more natural. On the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, this contributes to a device measuring just 4.1mm when unfolded.

3. Turning bigger screens into new possibilities

Samsung has learned that additional screen real estate needs to enable genuinely different experiences, not simply provide more pixels.

The Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a new 4:3 main display, which is optimized for immersive viewing and gaming, while rotating the device creates a 3:4 ratio suited to reading and browsing. The larger canvas also supports content creation and editing through experiences such as My FanCam².

4. Expanding what a foldable can look like

Consumer behavior has demonstrated that different people want different things from a foldable. Some want a larger workspace; others value compactness, self-expression or quick access.

Samsung now offers three distinct foldable experiences: Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra for productivity, Galaxy Z Fold8 for immersive discovery and Galaxy Z Flip8 for expression and quick interaction. These distinctions show how the form factor can be designed around different lifestyles rather than forcing consumers into just one definition of a foldable.

5. Making hardware and software work as one

A phone that physically changes shape also needs software that can change with it. The experience has to flow naturally between screens, orientations and modes.

Samsung has increasingly designed the software experience around the physical flexibility of the devices, from Multi Window, AI-powered multitasking with Now Nudge³ and Gemini Notebook⁴ on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, to a more capable FlexWindow on the Galaxy Z Flip8, where users can access apps, information and actions without unfolding.

6. Bringing AI into the foldable experience

The next stage of smartphone AI isn’t simply about generating an answer. It is about understanding what the user is doing and helping them move from information to action.

Agentic AI is integrated into the Galaxy Z8 experience, helping users move more naturally between information, apps and actions. On Samsung’s new foldable series, the expanded screens also create a natural canvas for AI-powered productivity, including Gemini Notebook, which can bring together information from different sources and help users organize and work with their thoughts and content in one place. And ultimately, get more done.

7. Removing the barriers to better experiences

Years of real-world use have shown that users prefer the least amount of hassle when it comes to using their devices. Adapting to a new device starts even before the first use, so switching devices itself needs to feel effortless.

The latest generation of the Galaxy Z series brings greater flexibility not just to how consumers use their devices, but how they move into the Galaxy ecosystem. With Smart Switch⁵, users can wirelessly transfer important data such as contacts, photos, messages, apps and settings from their previous devices, including from iOS. With One UI 9 on the latest Galaxy Z series, iOS device users can initiate the transfer simply by scanning a QR code, remove another barrier to switching.

8. Turning a new form factor into a complete ecosystem

Perhaps the central takeaway: every generation creates new questions around engineering, usability and consumer behavior. The experience of answering those questions, generation after generation, becomes an advantage in itself.

The new Flex Titanium display structure, thinner form factors, redesigned display ratios, more capable FlexWindow experiences and deeper agentic AI integration – all of these features, and more, show how the eighth-generation Galaxy Z Series represents the cumulative result of years of iteration and consumer insight.

Late morning, a dinner plan starts to take shape in your group chat. Everyone’s keen, but no one’s checked a schedule or picked a place — and this is exactly where plans usually stall. Now Nudge² catches them: when plans begin brewing in a conversation, it surfaces relevant next steps like checking calendars for a suitable date and time to keep things moving.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8’s unfolded main display, those suggestions sit right beside the conversation, so the chat can continue while your plan comes together – less manual effort but more progress.

Getting Things Done

How can my mobile phone help me finish tasks with less effort?

Knowing what you need to do is the first step. But having to toggle between three different apps can be a big obstacle. With the hassle of tab-switching and copy-pasting, it’s no wonder tasks get abandoned halfway. But with Galaxy AI on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z8 Series, when you need something, all you have to do is simply ask.

Gemini Intelligence can help you move from request to result in fewer steps: simply describe what you need in a natural voice or through text, or add screen or image context. App automation³ works across more than 40 supported apps and services — whether it’s looking up tickets, finding a nearby restaurant and making the reservation.  

On the Galaxy Z Flip8, such automation⁴ is even easier to access: the AI-ready FlexWindow lets you cue connected actions with a side-key press or a natural voice request. You don’t even have to open the device for Automation – you can cue and monitor progress directly on the cover screen. The dinner plan that began in your group chat an hour ago? That’s now a confirmed table.

Turning Scattered Information into Useful Outputs

Can my mobile phone help me quickly organize my meeting notes?

By afternoon, a long meeting has just ended, and the recap you owe your team lives everywhere at once — a voice memo, photos of a whiteboard, half-typed notes in two languages.

Gemini Notebook is that one, consistent workplace where you can collect, organize and develop your ideas. Whether your content is in notes, images, recordings, files, or document format, use Gemini Notebook to transform that content into meeting recaps, reports, visual summaries, infographics or audio overviews.

On the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, drag-and-drop in Split view makes your workflow even more direct and simple: retain your source material on one side of the 8.0-inch main display⁵, and see the finished recap taking shape on the other. Getting organized – even on the go – then becomes one shareable document with minimal time and effort.

Ending the Day a Step Ahead

Usually the day just ends — whatever didn’t get done rolls quietly into tomorrow, unexamined. This evening looks different. Dinner’s booked and the recap’s sent so you can wind down today and calmly look forward to tomorrow.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Switch is Samsung’s data transfer app¹ that allows users to move contacts, photos, videos, messages, apps, settings and more from an Android or iOS device to a new Galaxy device. With One UI 9 on the new eighth-generation Galaxy Z series, Smart Switch makes switching devices easier and more seamless than before. Quick Share has also been enhanced, making it easier to share files with friends, family and colleagues using different platforms.

Start Switching With Just a QR Code

With One UI 9, users no longer need to install the Smart Switch app separately on their iOS device. By simply scanning the QR code displayed on their new Galaxy, they can start transferring data through Smart Switch.

The updated Smart Switch also makes it easier to connect wirelessly. The two devices can connect without users needing to find the right cable or adapter before getting their new phone set up.

Bring More of Your Phone With You

With One UI 9, Smart Switch has expanded the types of data that can move from iOS devices to Galaxy. In addition to previously supported data such as photos, messages, contacts, calendars and apps, users can also transfer passwords and passkeys, call history, accessibility settings and eSIM information.

These may be less visible than a photo library, but they can make a big difference to how quickly a new device feels ready to use. A saved password means one less account to set up again. Bringing over accessibility settings can reduce the need to recreate a personalized experience. eSIM information can also be transferred, making it easier to continue using an existing mobile setup.

Make Galaxy Feel More Familiar

Whether switching to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8 or Z Flip8, users can make their new device feel familiar from the start. Beyond transferring data, they can adjust key settings such as Swipe gestures and Home screen layout to suit the way they use their phone. With the UI customization app Good Lock, users can also personalize the Home screen, app switching and more, giving them greater freedom to use Galaxy in the way that works best for them.

For those switching from iOS to Galaxy, these options can help recreate familiar ways of navigating and organizing their previous smartphone, reducing the adjustment that can come with moving to a new environment. This helps users settle into their new Galaxy more comfortably and naturally from the start.

Keep Sharing After the Switch

Changing smartphones does not mean everyone around a user changes theirs too.

Friends, family and colleagues may continue using different devices, which makes cross-platform sharing an important part of the experience long after setup is finished. Devices running One UI 9 and One UI 8.5 can benefit from an enhanced cross-device sharing experience² with Quick Share. With AirDrop compatibility, Quick Share makes it easier to share files between Galaxy and iOS devices.

Choosing a new smartphone should come down to the experience people want next. By simplifying how the switch begins, expanding what can move across and making it easier to keep sharing afterward, Samsung is reducing more of the practical barriers between smartphone ecosystems.

The result is a simpler way to move to Galaxy, while bringing more of what already matters along for the journey.

At Galaxy Unpacked this July, Samsung unveiled the newest additions to the Galaxy portfolio, continuing the legacy, innovation and leadership that have defined the foldable category across generations of the Galaxy Z series.

Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra combine intelligent capabilities with innovative form factors to deliver more personal and adaptive experiences while setting a new standard for the AI era.

Is it time for an upgrade? Here’s how the latest Galaxy Z series foldables unfold new experiences:

Thinner and Lighter

It’s no secret that Samsung is always working to deliver devices that integrate into your life seamlessly. Part of doing that is creating devices that feel comfortable and natural to use. New generations of Galaxy Z series foldables offer thinner and lighter designs, and when it comes to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip8, the difference is clear. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is thinner than Galaxy Z Fold7, and Galaxy Z Flip8 is nearly 0.5 mm thinner and 8 g lighter than Galaxy Z Flip7. The new Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet at just 201 g.[1]

Elevated Camera Experiences

Galaxy Z Fold8’s dual 50 MP cameras deliver consistent high-resolution detail across wide and ultra-wide perspectives.

We know that camera capabilities play a huge role in your decision to upgrade or not. So, year after year, we innovate toward offering the best camera experience possible with options that best suit your needs.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features the most powerful camera experience ever offered in the Galaxy Z series. The 200 MP Wide camera and upgraded 50 MP Ultra Wide camera allow you to take scenic shots in high-resolution detail. Plus, wider apertures on the Ultra-Wide sensor provide improved brightness compared with Galaxy Z Fold7. And the new My FanCam[2] feature gives you added versatility to reframe and track the subject of your video.

Galaxy Z Flip8 gives you the ability to go hands-free with FlexCam while the lens picks up true-to-life details, so your pictures are always authentically you. Plus, Super Steady now offers a Horizontal Lock[3] option to help keep your footage looking smooth.

Better Battery Life and Performance

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra’s larger 5,000 mAh battery helps users stay productive for longer, supporting a full day of work, creation and entertainment in a slimmer foldable design.

No one wants to be interrupted by a low battery while they’re mid-scroll, mid-call or mid-game. The 5000 mAh battery[4] on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra protects against that. Engineered to maintain a slim frame, the battery powers an expansive screen without compromising design, so you can enjoy up to 27 hours of video content before a quick refuel session with Super-Fast charging.[5]

When it comes to Galaxy Z Flip8, you get powerful performance to support all the ways you creatively express yourself. Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, Flip8 will help you to handle demanding days without breaking your flow. The advanced NPU delivers 41% faster AI performance compared to Z Flip7, while the improved GPU provides optimized graphics performance, and the CPU provides 30% faster processing.

Try Something New Entirely

Galaxy Z Fold8 is Samsung’s all-new foldable form factor. The shorter, wider design enables Galaxy Z Fold8 to shift naturally and fluidly to match the ways you enjoy content.

The 10:16 cover screen is ideal for scrolling social media, and the immersive 4:3 main screen is great for unfolding to enjoy movies and e-books.[6] Whichever you choose, optimized aspect ratios on both screens enable you to watch content exactly how you want. Plus, anti-reflection on the main screen and 3000 nits of brightness provide better clarity indoors or outdoors, while new Flex Titanium technology strengthens display support, absorbs pressure and impact, and reduces crease visibility over time for a better viewing experience.

But it’s more than just a new form factor. Galaxy Z Fold8 features powerful performance, dual 50 MP cameras and Fold-optimized AI experiences.

Ready to Make the Switch?

If you’re looking to boost your productivity, upgrade to Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra for a slim and sleek design with Ultra performance, a long-lasting battery[7] and an Ultra camera.

Leaning into creativity? Upgrading to Galaxy Z Flip8 will give you more ways to express yourself using Samsung’s most pocketable foldable.

And if you want a completely new experience, Galaxy Z Fold8 is great for discovery and made for scrolling, with a uniquely fluid form that shifts with the content you choose.

Managing warranties and coverage for a Galaxy mobile phone, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Buds, and Galaxy Tab can be a hassle. That’s where Warranty and care comes in. Introduced with One UI 9, it brings essential device management features together in one place, letting users check warranty status, run diagnostics, book repairs, and get support in just a few taps — all without leaving Settings.

Here’s a closer look at what Warranty and care, available with One UI 9 on Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8, and Galaxy Z Flip8 offers.

Check Warranty Status Across Galaxy Devices

Keeping track of warranty periods and expiration dates across Galaxy devices isn’t always easy. Warranty and care consolidates this information in a single hub.

Access Warranty and care instantly from Settings.

Available in Settings, Warranty and care displays information[2] about the device in use at the top of the screen — including remaining warranty period and eligibility for Samsung Care+ enrollment.[3] Below, users can find the same details for other Galaxy devices linked to their Samsung account, making it easy to check warranty and coverage status across their Galaxy ecosystem.

For added protection beyond the standard warranty, users can easily explore and enroll in a Samsung Care+ plan that matches their needs.

Resolve Device Issues with Diagnostics and Bixby

When something doesn’t feel quite right, quickly finding out what’s wrong can make all the difference. The built-in Diagnostics feature checks the device — including its battery, charging, sensors, touch response, and connectivity — to help pinpoint the issue and guide users to the next step, whether that’s a suggested solution or a repair request.

Bixby offers customized responses to your inquiries.

Users can also access Bixby[4] from Warranty and care to ask about an issue and get help on the spot. For example, if a user asks, “My battery is draining too fast. What should I do?” Bixby can walk them through possible solutions step by step. It’s a convenient way to get answers to everyday questions without switching screens.

Book Repairs and Check Estimated Costs in One Place

When professional help is needed, users can tap “Request a repair” to book a repair at a Samsung-authorized service center without having to make phone calls. All repairs are carried out by Samsung-certified technicians using genuine parts. If users are unable to visit a service center, they can start remote support from the same screen and get help directly on their device.

Warranty and care also makes device care service information easy to check. After selecting an issue, users can view estimated repair costs[5] for major parts alongside the cost of the same repair with Samsung Care+. This comparison helps users weigh their options and decide whether additional protection is worthwhile.

Repair estimates on main parts can also be verified. *Images simulated. Sequences shortened. Actual UI may be different.

Protect Device Value for the Long Term

By bringing warranty information, diagnostics, support and repair services together, Warranty and care gives Galaxy users a simpler way to manage their devices for greater peace of mind. Checking the feature during setup makes it easier to know where to turn if an issue comes up later — from running diagnostics and asking Bixby or a chatbot for help to requesting a repair. With these essential services close at hand, users can keep their devices in good condition for longer and help preserve their value.

For peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow, Galaxy devices are supported by professional care at nearby Samsung-authorized service centers, both at home and abroad. *AI generated visual simulated for illustration purposes only.
