Plus, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera system also boasts advanced AI features², allowing for exceptional low-light performance and vibrant, true-to-life colours. With intelligent scene recognition, the AI adjusts settings for optimal lighting, contrast, and colour, ensuring stunning photos every time³.

And features like portrait mode, super steady video, and real-time image processing make every shot look professional.

Low light photography is all about capturing stunning images in conditions where natural or artificial light is minimal. Imagine photographing a beautiful sunset, a cityscape at night, or a candlelit dinner. The challenge lies in capturing the right details without the picture becoming too dark or grainy¹.

Enter the Galaxy S25 Ultra; designed to make low light photography an absolute joy. With its innovative Night Mode and Nightography features, this smartphone transforms night-time scenes into vivid and detailed photos. Night Mode intelligently combines multiple exposures, balancing the light and ensuring every part of the image is well-lit and clear.

Nightography takes it a step further by leveraging advanced AI² and sensor technology to enhance low-light performance. This ensures that even in the darkest environments, your photos are bright, sharp, and full of detail. Whether you're capturing a starry night sky, a bustling cityscape, or a cosy, dimly lit moment, the Galaxy S25 Ultra makes low light photography effortless and exciting.

Image stabilisation is a technology designed to reduce blurriness in photos and videos caused by camera shake. It's particularly useful when shooting in low light or with long zoom lenses. Samsung's Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) is a standout feature in the new Galaxy S25 series. OIS works by physically moving the camera lens or sensor to counteract movement, ensuring your shots remain sharp and clear.

The benefits of OIS are significant. It allows for longer exposure times without the need for a tripod, leading to better low-light performance and more stable video recording. With the Galaxy S25 series, OIS helps you capture professional-quality images effortlessly, even in challenging conditions. Whether you're documenting a night out or filming a scenic landscape, OIS ensures your photos and videos are always crisp and steady¹.
