Turning a photo from day to night in seconds. Restoring missing parts of objects in images, like a bite taken out of a cake. Seamlessly merging multiple photos into one cohesive image. These creative capabilities once required professional skills or hours of editing. Now they’re possible in minutes, directly from your Galaxy phone, simply by asking in your own words.

That’s the next evolution of the Galaxy camera: an end-to-end experience with the brightest Galaxy camera system ever as the foundation.

Mobile cameras are moving beyond capture, as the latest Galaxy AI unifies advanced creative capabilities for capturing, editing and sharing in one intuitive platform. The result is a seamless experience and a more fluid creative process — eliminating the need to switch between apps or navigate complex tools, so creativity feels faster, simpler and more natural.

At the core of this evolution is the belief that creativity should not be limited by technical skill or experience. From shooting to editing, the Galaxy camera has quietly redefined what’s possible. Now anyone can create cinematic videos, track stars across the night sky or capture richly detailed photos, even in low light. And with natural, multimodal input, editing becomes as simple as describing what you have in mind in just a few words.

Stay tuned for the easiest and most user-friendly Galaxy camera experience yet, unveiling next week at Galaxy Unpacked February 2026.

For more than a decade, people all over the world have consistently enhanced their productivity and creativity by turning to Galaxy smartphones. Chief among them, the Galaxy S Ultra series, which is built on a legacy of innovation of our Galaxy Note series has become synonymous with boundless creativity and is loved by countless Galaxy fans.

With its incredible power, expansive screen and iconic S Pen, Galaxy S Ultra is renowned for helping people seamlessly follow their inspirations or capture ideas anytime, anywhere – even without unlocking the phone and digging for a note-taking app.

Creativity Like Never Before

Last year, Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, ushering a new era of mobile experiences. This groundbreaking technology helped the Galaxy S Ultra series evolve into an even more indispensable tool for maximizing creative freedom. And now, your creativity is about to reach new heights.

Sketch to Image, now integrated into Drawing assist, is now evolving. Utilizing more than a single input, like drawing with S Pen or your finger, it is becoming a multimodal experience. Now you can breathe life into your ideas by sketching them, writing out a description of the image you want with text, or using the voice command say what to draw. If you can envision it, Galaxy AI can help you create it.

Let’s say you want to really let your imagination run wild. You can draw a cat using S Pen and then, with multimodal Galaxy AI, you can type a “spacesuit” to put your cat in a space suit and visualize them in outer space. Or maybe you’re thinking about your dream home. Using the S Pen, you make a quick drawing of the façade. But maybe you’re not sure where you want your dream home to be. Simply type some possible locations, like “by the beach” or “in the mountains” and Drawing assist will help you see your future home in a new light.

From Note to Ultra and Beyond

This level of creative freedom is built on a legacy of innovation that began in 2011, when we introduced the Galaxy Note to redefine what was creatively possible on a smartphone. That power and spirit of innovation lives on through the Galaxy S Ultra series, and it continues to evolve with Galaxy AI.

With One UI 7, Samsung’s first integrated AI platform, your phone will become a true AI companion that understands natural language through text and speech, as well as images. It will be a new standard of multimodal mobile AI that enables incredible creativity. But this is just a preview. Tune into Galaxy Unpacked on January 23, 2:00 AM PH Time to see how the next Galaxy S series can truly unleash your creativity. Join us as we unveil a new chapter in mobile AI – premium Galaxy innovations that bring seamless convenience into every moment of your life. The event will be streamed live on Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, and Samsung’s YouTube channel beginning at 2:00 AM PH Time.

But for users of the Samsung Galaxy A and S series, after-hours photography provides the perfect opportunity for you to flex the features of your camera, including the Pro Mode¹ and Night Mode², to take a variety of creative shots – from slick light trails that capture the energy of your city to ethereal shots of the sky and moon.

And if you needed a nudge to plan an after-dark photography outing with your friends, let it be the upcoming Blood Moon on May 26!

To get you ready for this once in a (blood) moon occasion, here are some pro tips for the ultimate night photography outing.

Optimize your smartphone’s settings

When light levels are low, leveraging the right settings become imperative to a successful shot. For users of the Samsung Galaxy A and S series, there are two key functions you should be acquainted with:Pro Mode and Night Mode.

Night Mode uses multi-frame processing to produce a clear photo in low light instantaneously, while Pro Mode gives you control over individual settings that affect light levels before you snap a photo, such as ISO (exposure), shutter speed, and aperture.

To have both modes readily available on the main camera screen, do this:

• Open the Camera app and swipe to the ‘More’ tab at the bottom
• Drag the ‘Pro’ and ‘Night’ icons down to the panel for easy access (see below)

Besides Pro and Night Mode, the Camera app has other features to experiment with to take creative shots. (Screengrab from Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G)

Night Mode

If you find manual settings overwhelming, start by playing around with the night mode function first. Once you become more familiar with this function, you can start fiddling with other functions in Pro Mode for a more nuanced control.

Pro Mode

Once you’re more confident taking photos in low light areas, take your night photography to the next level by playing around with the ISO (exposure) and shutter speed settings in Pro Mode.

Practice and familiarize yourself with the settings by taking the same photo with different values for each setting. For instance, try taking a night shot on your smartphone with an ISO 400 camera setting, and gradually increase the ISO value for subsequent shots to understand the differences.While toggling with shutter speed and ISO can better illuminate your night shots, note that your smartphone should also be super stable when taking the photo. If not, your image could turn out blurry. To prevent this, invest in a simple tripod to stabilize your phone, or prop the phone against a sturdy surface to minimize image blurring.

1. Shutter speed: Determines how long the camera spends taking the photo.
Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of a second. When light levels are low, pick a slower shutter speed to let the camera sensor capture more light.

2. ISO: Determines the camera’s sensitivity to light.
Pick a higher ISO value (upwards of ISO 400) for better image clarity when there is very little light. This increases the camera’s sensitivity, allowing the right exposure to be achieved with less light.

Practice and familiarize yourself with the settings by taking the same photo with different values for each setting. For instance, try taking a night shot on your smartphone with an ISO 400 camera setting, and gradually increase the ISO value for subsequent shots to understand the differences.

While toggling with shutter speed and ISO can better illuminate your night shots, note that your smartphone should also be super stable when taking the photo. If not, your image could turn out blurry. To prevent this, invest in a simple tripod to stabilize your phone, or prop the phone against a sturdy surface to minimize image blurring.

Time to Get Inspired with Night Photography

Now that you’re familiar with your smartphone’s camera settings, it’s time to put your newfound knowledge into practice!

Fly to the Moon with Space Zoom

Those planning to document the total lunar eclipse this year will be happy to know that they can now take night photography to the next level with the Space Zoom feature on the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Powered by Samsung’s first-ever dual-tele lens system to deliver greater clarity to shots, Space Zoom on the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G lets you capture clear shots even when you are far away from the action – like the upcoming blood super moon³.

As always, a tripod will be your key ally. Find a good, stable spot to plant your tripod, point your camera to the moon and slowly zoom towards it until the round shape fits snugly into your frame. Once this is done, tap on your screen to adjust the exposure automatically. Don’t forget to secure a prime viewing spot in advance as well!

While the 30x zoom can snap a clear picture of the bright moon (left), max out the zoom to make the most of the Space Zoom function (right). (Images taken on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G)

Create an Amazing Light Show

Look out for areas that have some form of light, but not too much! Examples include street lamps, storefronts, or car headlights, which can provide contrast against the darkness and help make an image pop!

If you’re shooting a scene with multiple light sources, try heading into Pro Mode and switching from auto to manual focus to generate a cool, abstract camera effect.

Achieve a bokeh effect of glowing orbs by defocusing the lens when taking the picture. (Image taken on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G) Settings: ISO 1600, Shutter speed 1/50s; scroll left in Manual Focus mode to blur lights

You can also create light streaks with your smartphone camera if there are moving vehicles around. To do this, set your ISO value low and increase the shutter speed to at least two seconds. Don’t forget to stabilize your smartphone with a tripod or lean it against some structural support as well!

Light streaks are plenty of fun – look out for moving lights from vehicles. (Image taken on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G) Settings: ISO 50, Shutter speed 2s

Capture Stunning Night Mood Scenes

As you explore your surroundings, find a reflective surface that can illuminate the scene in a unique way. Again, toggle your smartphone’s shutter speed for greater control over light.

But if you’re looking to have fun with reflective surfaces, toggle your smartphone’s shutter speed settings in Pro Mode (right) to give you greater control over the light. (Images taken on Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G) Settings (for right photo): ISO 1600, Shutter speed 1/50ss

Enhance Your Photo with Post Production Magic

After snapping your pictures, remember to fine-tune them on your desired editing app before posting them on social media!

Enhance the vividness of your photos and achieve the desired mood by toggling with contrast, white balance and saturation.

Ultimately, night photography is a fun way to make the most of the advanced features built within your Galaxy A and S series smartphones, so be bold with the camera settings and explore all possibilities!

Level up your smartphone photography game at night on May 26, when a total lunar eclipse will bring about an enchanting blood moon* in our skies!

Night photography offers countless opportunities for smartphone photographers to express their creativity – from light streaks generated by moving vehicles to enchanting images of the sky.

Read on to find out how you can make the most of the Night Mode and Pro Mode features on your Samsung Galaxy A and S series to take magical night shots – without the need for professional equipment. If the skies are clear, you might even be able to snap the blood moon in its full glory!
