With One UI 8, older Galaxy foldables like the Z Fold 6, 5, and 4 will soon gain improved Capture View tools, Favorites tagging, and smarter gallery access
New Camera Features Debut on Galaxy Z Fold 7
Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy Z Fold 7 brings with it several camera software upgrades that improve the photo-taking and post-shot experience. These enhancements are part of the One UI 8 package and are designed to make managing your images faster and more intuitive.
Now, Samsung has officially confirmed that these features won’t stay exclusive to the Fold 7 for long.
What’s New in the Z Fold 7 Camera Experience?
1. Smarter Capture View Interface
- After taking a photo or video, the selected media appears in the center of the screen
- Users get quick access buttons directly below the image to:
- Mark as Favorite
- Share instantly
- Delete with a tap
This layout allows you to review and manage content on the fly—without needing to open the Gallery app separately.
2. New Favorites Feature in Capture View
- You can now mark your favorite photos or videos directly from the Capture View screen
- These files are instantly saved to the Favorites section in the Gallery app
- Makes it easier to quickly find highlight moments, especially after events or trips
More Devices Will Get the Upgrade
Samsung has confirmed that these camera features will expand to more foldables with upcoming One UI 8 updates. Supported models include:
- Galaxy Z Fold 6
- Galaxy Z Fold 5
- Galaxy Z Fold 4
This ensures that older premium devices continue to benefit from software-driven innovation, not just new hardware.
Why It Matters
These enhancements are small but impactful:
- Better content curation on-device
- Faster access to favorite moments
- Streamlined sharing, ideal for creators and power users
- Improved multitasking that matches the large-screen experience of foldables
By extending these features to more models, Samsung continues to show its commitment to long-term software support—a growing demand among premium users.
What to Expect Next
- Rollout will begin after One UI 8 reaches stable status on eligible foldables
- Samsung may further refine the Capture View experience, especially with AI-driven sorting and smart albums
- Similar features may eventually trickle down to non-foldable Galaxy flagships, like the S24 or S25 series
