- Samsung has added an Ocean Mode to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- This camera mode automatically takes a photo every two seconds while reducing blue tones and motion blur.
- Ocean Mode is only available to researchers as part of coral reef restoration efforts.
Samsung just announced the Galaxy S25 series, but the company also revealed that it implemented a rather cool camera mode on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Unfortunately, it’s not available to most users.
Samsung revealed at its Unpacked event last week that it developed a so-called Ocean Mode for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This mode “optimizes” underwater photography on the smartphone and is meant to let researchers take photos of coral reefs. The data captured by the phone in this mode can also be used to create 3D maps of coral reefs to assist with restoration projects by Seatrees and the University of California San Diego.
