Tipster: One UI 8.5 to Introduce Metadata-Heavy Watermarks and Vivid Photo Mode

The rumored update links two watermark styles to a brightened photo tuning available only when the watermark is enabled on Galaxy S25-series devices, Z Fold 7 models.

Samsung could make your Galaxy photos brighter soon… but the hidden catch could annoy you

Overview

  • A tip by @UniverseIce, as reported by SamMobile, suggests One UI 8.5 will add two new watermarks embedding extended metadata such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, date and time.
  • One watermark option appears in the top-left corner and the other in the bottom-right, with a dedicated camera-app shortcut to toggle between them.
  • The new watermarks activate a vivid image tuning that boosts brightness and saturation, drawing comparisons to Vivo’s Bright mode on the X200 Ultra.
  • Users cannot enable the vivid tuning separately; it only applies when either metadata-rich watermark style is turned on.
  • The features are expected first on Galaxy S25-series phones and Z Fold 7 devices, though Samsung has not yet confirmed the report.
