Samsung is developing a new camera feature for the upcoming Galaxy S27 smartphone. According to industry insider kro_roe, the company intends to utilize artificial intelligence to eliminate lens flares and various optical artifacts from captured images.
Lens flares from bright light sources like street lamps, car headlights, or the sun are a common issue in mobile photography. Traditionally, manufacturers address this by applying specialized physical coatings to lens elements. For instance, Sony and Vivo integrate Zeiss optical technologies, such as the T* coating, to reduce unwanted reflections and improve image contrast.
Samsung plans to adopt a different strategy by relying on computational photography. The company will implement AI algorithms designed to detect and remove optical artifacts during the image processing stage. The insider reports that this technology has demonstrated high effectiveness in internal tests.
The source of this information, kro_roe, previously provided accurate details regarding the beta testing schedule for the One UI 7 software update.
