- Samsung’s Galaxy S24 phones have the ability to colorize black-and-white images.
- This feature was first revealed for Google Photos back in 2018 but has yet to land on the service.
- Samsung’s colorized photos are far from perfect, but this feature is still impressive as it’s running on-device.
Google announced a rather cool feature for Google Photos back in 2018, promising to let you colorize black-and-white photos. We’re still waiting for this feature to come to Google’s photo platform after all these years, but it looks like the option is now available on the Galaxy S24 series.
Tipster Ice Universe noted on X that the Galaxy S24 range indeed lets you colorize black-and-white snaps via the gallery app. We were able to confirm this functionality on a colleague’s Galaxy S24 Ultra and put it to the test. It’s also worth noting that this feature works locally, so you don’t need an active internet connection (a win for privacy).
