Samsung appears to be moving full speed ahead with its next major software milestone, One UI 8.5. Following the rollout of Android 16-based One UI 8 across its flagship Galaxy lineup and mid-range A and M series devices, the company is now preparing to introduce several new features designed to enhance user experience. Among the most anticipated additions is a powerful Pro camera preset system, which would let users save and reuse their preferred shooting configurations — a significant upgrade for photography enthusiasts.
According to findings from an APK teardown of a leaked One UI 8.5 build by Android Authority, Samsung is developing functionality that will allow users to save multiple Pro camera presets. These presets would include detailed settings such as ISO, shutter speed, white balance, focus type, and exposure levels. Once saved, users could easily switch between these presets without having to manually readjust each parameter before taking a shot — streamlining the entire process for those who frequently capture photos in varying environments.
In addition to simplifying camera customization, One UI 8.5 is also expected to integrate Samsung’s Quick Share app into this feature. This would allow users to share their personalized Pro camera presets with friends or colleagues using other Galaxy devices. The inclusion of Quick Share support could make it easier for professional photographers or content creators to collaborate, maintaining consistency in shooting styles and quality across devices.
While Samsung has yet to officially announce the update, One UI 8.5 is rumored to debut early next year, likely arriving first on the Galaxy S24 series before expanding to other models. If these camera enhancements materialize, they could mark a meaningful step toward closing the gap between smartphone photography and dedicated camera systems — offering Galaxy users even greater control and flexibility in their creative workflows.
