When comparing Galaxy Enhance-X to the existing Remaster function within Samsung Gallery, the core functionality may not appear significantly different on paper, but it promises to deliver superior outcomes.
Once installed, Galaxy Enhance-X proves to be remarkably user-friendly. A single button labeled “Magic” initiates the AI analysis of the image, addressing issues related to blurriness, noise, and loss of detail.
Following this initial step, users gain access to various distinct functions for further refinement. These include Lighten, Face adjustments, Correct Blur, Correct Lens Distortion, Correct Moiré, HDR, Portrait enhancements, Reflection Removal, Shadow Removal, and Contrast adjustments.
Samsung smartphones and tablets that should receive Android 14 and One UI 6.0
The Face section offers additional customization options, such as skin smoothness, color tone, jawline refinement, and eye size. These features are particularly popular in Eastern markets but may be less frequently utilized elsewhere. The Portrait feature, on the other hand, provides a selection of diverse layers and styles to achieve captivating background blur effects.
Of notable interest is the image resizing feature, where Enhance-X can increase the resolution by up to four times for photos with less than 1 MP, eliminating compression artifacts and resulting in sharper images. For instance, an image originally with a resolution of 640 x 360 and less than 1 MP can be transformed into a high-resolution 2560 x 1440 image.
Download Available for Selected Galaxy Devices
The Galaxy Enhance-X app, which we remember was unveiled last year, is available for download in beta through the Galaxy Store. The size is about 135 MB and the version is number 1.0.76.

Circle to Search Will Soon Add On-Screen Translation
Samsung has already started rolling out its latest and is awaiting the One UI 6.1 software update to its 2023 flagship smartphones, which offers plenty of Galaxy AI features, including the most popular Circle to Search with Google, for which Samsung has already praised Google. Now Google is gearing up to upgrade this feature.
The Circle to Search feature permits you to search directly by just circling any image or text on the display without changing the app. Google plays the lead role in this Circle to Search feature, and now it is setting up to enhance the facilities within the Circle to Search feature for more convenience.
Google announced that Circle to Search will be able to translate content on the display in the coming weeks, leading to speculation. To access this feature, all you have to do is long-press the home button or the navigation bar to bring up Circle to Search, and tap the translate icon. Then, instantly, the Circle to Search feature will automatically detect the language of the content on the display and translate it to your preferred language.
With this upgrade, it will not be asked to draw a circle around it. For instance, if you open any PDF file that is in Japanese, you can convene Circle to Search, hit the translate icon, and it will convert the language of the menu to English effortlessly.
Presently, for translating content that is on the display, first you have to take a screenshot, then go to Google Translate, and then select that image. Then the app will detect the language in the screenshot and convert it to the preferred language. This seems pretty lengthy since for this you have to switch between applications, take a screenshot, then select, and more. Now Google is upgrading the Circle to Search feature, which will offer the facility to translate features seamlessly.
