Samsung recently rolled out the latest One UI 7 Beta update for the Galaxy S24 series and it brings a new way to record videos, as per a report. The new iteration of the Android 15-based operating system (OS) is said to enable support for capturing LOG (logarithmic footage) videos on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra. As per the South Korean technology conglomerate, this allows users to record a wider dynamic range where the luminance of both very dark and very bright areas is captured by the camera sensor.

Additionally, the One UI 7 Beta 5 update is also said to fixe issues related to Now Bar, lock screen, Notification History, and more.

Support for LOG on Samsung Galaxy S24 Series

According to a SammyFans report, all three Galaxy S24 series models — the base model, Plus variant, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, now get support for LOG video capture with the latest One UI 7 Beta 5 update. This feature was first reported in the One UI 7 Beta 4 update but was only said to be available on the Ultra model from last year.

Samsung says this video recording format retains more image data compared to standard filming, allowing greater flexibility during post-production. It is claimed to reduce the production time while also enabling improved options for controlling colours, shadows, highlights, colour tones, and other image data. Samsung LOG offers a 10-bit HEVC codec which is said to enable better accessibility to codec compatibility and storage.

While the company introduced LOG video capture with the Galaxy S25 series in January, it is also rolling out support for older devices, starting with the Galaxy S24 lineup following the release of One UI 7 Beta 5.

Alongside this new feature, the update is reported to contain fixes for several reported issues. Samsung says it fixes an intermittent display error of the Now Bar controller. It also rectifies problems which caused icons to appear small on the Widget Setting screen, operation failure of the Gallery Edit button, and partial Font/Image overlap issues.

Further, the update is reported to improve media playback to display as a real-time notification, Quick action menu spacing, a Notification History operation error fix, along with other system improvements.

Previous reports also suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip from Qualcomm, along with 12GB of RAM. It is expected to run on One UI 7, which is based on Android 15, and offer support for Galaxy AI features.

Thanks to the showcase at MWC 2025, we know that the phone will be equipped with a dual rear camera setup. It could feature a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. The smartphone is expected to sport a 6.65-inch display, and it is expected to be the slimmest model in the Galaxy S25 lineup, with a thickness of 5.84mm. 

It’s worth taking these details with a grain of salt, as none of these specifications have been confirmed by Samsung. However, if the claims about their imminent debut next month are accurate, we can expect to learn more about these smartphones in the coming days or weeks.
