Samsung has launched the One UI 7 beta update for its Galaxy S23 series, though availability is currently limited to select countries. While the initial beta introduces a range of new features, one notable omission is the highly anticipated Samsung Log video recording capability—a tool designed to enhance post-processing flexibility for videographers.
Is the Galaxy S23 Ultra incompatible with Samsung Log?
Samsung first introduced the Log Video feature in the latest Galaxy S25 Series, which comes pre-loaded with the Android 15-based One UI 7.0 skin. And the company recently expanded access to its Log video feature via the One UI 7 Beta 4 update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Many had expected this feature to debut on the Galaxy S23 Ultra with the first One UI 7 beta release, but it remains unavailable on the older flagship series. Speculation now suggests Samsung may exclude the S23 Ultra from receiving the feature entirely, though the reason behind this decision remains unclear.
What Is the Samsung Log Video Feature?
The Samsung Log video feature allows users to record footage in a flat, uncompressed color profile. This format preserves greater dynamic range and detail, similar to how RAW files function for photos, enabling advanced color grading and editing during post-production. The feature is particularly valuable for creators seeking precise control over their final video output.
Will the Galaxy S23 Ultra get the Samsung Video Log feature later?
While the Log video feature is absent in the current One UI 7 beta, Samsung could still introduce it in future beta updates. The company often rolls out enhancements incrementally during beta testing, prioritizing features still in development. However, with no official confirmation from Samsung, Galaxy S23 users are left wondering whether this professional-grade tool will ever arrive on their devices.
For now, the absence of Samsung Log on the Galaxy S23 series highlights a potential divergence in software support between Samsung’s latest and previous-generation flagships. Stay tuned for updates as the One UI 7 beta program progresses.
