  • One UI 8.5 is required for the rollout, which brings the camera-tuning app beyond Samsung's Galaxy S, Z and Note lines to cheaper A and M phones.
  • Camera Assistant adds controls such as auto lens switching, focus-over-speed, focus peaking, shutter-button remapping, HDR10+, audio monitoring and optional OIS disablement.
  • Some features will still vary by device because the full toolkit depends on each phone or tablet's camera hardware.
