The Galaxy Enhance-X App Is Now Available on @SamsungMobileSA Premium Smartphones #GalaxyEnhanceX

Hi Guys,

Expanded from its beta phase as seen on the Galaxy S23 series, Samsung’s Galaxy Enhance-X app is now available for a wide range of premium Galaxy smartphones via the Galaxy Store. This new image editing app lets users freely customize and remaster their photos, especially in those moments when an unwanted stray shadow, a lens distortion or a lighting imbalance nearly ruins an otherwise great shot.

Powered by AI, Galaxy Enhance-X offers comprehensive one-tap image enhancement as well as the flexibility to adjust specific features, including HDR and Moiré effect. This flexibility allows users to bring out the best in all of their photos.

Powerful and Precise Photo Editing

For those times when you feel your photo needs a more general, all-around lift, Galaxy Enhance-X’s Magic feature is a one-stop solution able to make comprehensive yet intuitive enhancements to your picture. With just a tap, the Magic feature will leverage deep learning and AI to automatically refine any visual noise, blur and low details, significantly improving the image quality — instantly.

Galaxy Enhance-X also provides users with a broad range of tools with which they can customize their images. HDR, for example, analyzes highlights, shading, brightness and contrast, expanding the dynamic range of the image and making its lighting richer without sacrificing quality. Like many of Galaxy Enhance-X’s features, it also offers different levels of intensity — from 0 to 4 in HDR’s case. Furthermore, the images we receive via social media or other messaging apps often come to us compressed after having been uploaded online. For such cases, the Upscale tool boosts the resolution of images under 1MP by up to four times for consistent, sharp detail.

To target specific areas with precision, Galaxy Enhance-X has functions like Fix Moiré and Remove Shadows. With Fix Moiré, users can smooth out the repetitive, wavy patterns that often occur when taking photos of laptop, TV or monitor displays, and, because shadows can sometimes find their way into photos even in well-lit, indoor environments, Remove Shadows isolates and removes them for bright, bold images free of intrusive silhouettes.

Galaxy Enhance-X’s capabilities don’t just stop at those pictures taken within the past 10 minutes. The Old Photo tool harnesses generative AI to restore and bring extra clarity to old or damaged photos. While optimizing, Old Photo is also sure to maintain any face details, such as expressions, exactly as they were in the original photo, so the resulting shot is clearer and more accurate.

Other leading Galaxy Enhance-X editing functions include Brighten, Fix Blur, Sharpen, Remove Reflection and Fix Lens Distortion, while the Portrait and Face feature help specifically optimize the lighting and balance of portrait shots.

Even Better Image Editing Control at Users’ Fingertips

With Galaxy Enhance-X, users have the freedom to choose the precise changes they make, resulting in ideal images made possible through new levels of customizability. Furthermore, the app’s powerful AI tools can perfect previously-taken or downloaded images on top of those captured with the native Galaxy camera app.

Launching officially on June 20 for a range of premium Samsung Galaxy smartphones1, Galaxy Enhance-X is a new level of image innovation that brings personalized customization to every user as well as any photo.

Download the Galaxy Enhance-X app by following this link.

1 Available on Galaxy S23 series, S22 series, S21 series, S20 series, Note20 series, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Z Fold2, Z Flip 5G and Z Flip LTE devices operating on One UI 5.1 or above.

@SonyXperiaZA Launches Xperia E5 #XperiaE5 #Smartphone

Hi Guys, 

Sony Mobile Communications unveiled Xperia E5 - a fun, easy-to-use smartphone with advanced Sony performance and camera technology, at an accessible price point. 

“Xperia E5 is a no-compromise approach to smartphone capability at this section of the market” said Tsutomu Sato, Director of Product Marketing, at Sony Mobile Communications. “It’s the perfect device for those seeking affordable access to the performance, camera technology and design more often associated with high-end mobile devices.”

Performance you can rely on, with three elements providing the power to do more - fast processor, large memory capacity and up to two day's battery life. 

• Underpinning the combination of performance and power is the MediaTek MT6735 processor – its advanced Quad-core platform and fast 4G LTE capability, provide an immersive and vibrant multimedia, gaming and mobile internet experience.
• Downloading and storing content is also made simple, with a large 200GB memory expandable via microSD card, capable of securely housing essential apps, music, images and games. 
• Xperia E5’s battery is long-lasting so you can use it for up to two days between charges - downloading apps, streaming video and browsing social networks, all without regularly reaching for the plug socket. 
• Available in Graphite Black and White, this powerful feature set sits within a slim 8.2mm form factor, weighing only 147g - for a natural and comfortable hand fit.

Beautiful pictures, always - easier than ever to capture stunning shots with a smartphone

Not only does Xperia E5 make smartphone photography easy, both the 13 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras recognize what and where you’re capturing. Auto Scene Recognition analyses the conditions and whether you’re shooting a nouvelle cuisine dish or a selfie, it adjusts the settings accordingly for high quality shots - and with the additional option of HDR, you can be sure images look sharp and striking on the 5” HD display. The swipe control camera interface makes it easy to flick between modes, and the all-new “Share” button allows for instantaneous upload to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook with a few simple taps.

It just works - say goodbye to slow connections, freezes and never-ending downloads

“Smart Cleaner” works diligently in the background to ensure maximum power is available to your Xperia E5 at all times - automatically removing unused processes and cache data. The result: a fluid experience and longer-lasting device. 

Introduced at the heart of the 2016 Xperia portfolio, “Xperia Tips” is your personal assistant – intelligently attuning to your preferences, providing relevant and timely on-screen advice to help you get the most from your Xperia E5. And, the re-imagined “Introduction to Xperia” helps you get set up and started within minutes, with account sync, seamless content migration from previous devices and personalized app recommendations. Xperia E5 launches locally in August 2016 with a recommended retail price of R3,999.00

Cheers!!!

New Image Capture features on #Lumia #Denim @MicrosoftSA

Hi Guys,

One of the amazing things about modern technology is that improving it doesn’t always mean having to invest in new hardware. Sometimes a software update is all it takes to turn a piece of hardware’s performance from good into great, or from great into unbelievable. That’s the case with the Lumia Denim update, which brings a range of new imaging features to the Lumia 830, Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520 – in addition to new features like live folders and smoother and faster internet browsing.

Chief among these new imaging features is the Lumia Camera app, which complements the existing default camera app by making it even faster and easier to capture crystal clear, properly exposed images, even in low light or high contrast conditions.

If you’re more interested in what you’re shooting than what your camera’s settings are you’ll love Rich Capture, a feature that automatically decides whether or not to apply exposure compensation, whether or not to use the flash and if HDR (high dynamic range) is needed to accurately capture a particular scene. Meanwhile, if you’re the sort of person who wants full control over your handset’s camera the Lumia Camera app is ready to oblige. Swiping up on the shutter release button brings up a range of onscreen controls, allowing you full control of focus, shutter speed, white balance, exposure compensation and ISO.

Switch to video mode, and those setting options change to controls for white balance, focus and exposure compensation. And what would an imaging update be without improved selfie capture? A new setting called “auto selfie” lets you use the rear camera to take a selfie and trigger it by blinking to set off a three-second self-timer.

The Lumia Selfie app then lets you apply a range of filters and corrections to your selfies, from brightening the eyes and softening the skin tones to giving your self-portraits a vintage feel or even putting your face on a fake magazine cover.

Lumia devices aren’t just great at capturing stills, they’re masters of video capture, too. A new feature called Moment Capture combines the best of both worlds by letting you shoot high-definition video by simply holding down the camera button. Video is captured at 24 frames per second, and each frame can be saved as a high-quality still image.

Another welcome addition is the ability to capture images as RAW files. RAW files are bigger than conventional images because they contain all of the data captured by the camera sensor. They’re the negatives of the digital photography world because they can always be reprocessed to produce different effects.

Most mobile phone cameras only capture and store images as JPG files, which means the phone has to make processing decisions and throw out some of the original data when saving the image. This limits how much you can do to a photo because it’s already been compressed by the time you come to edit it. With RAW files you have full control over the final image, and you can reprocess images down the line if you want to achieve a different effect.

If, however, you don’t want to fiddle with processing your pics and are quite happy with JPGs alone, you’ll be pleased to know the algorithms your Lumia device uses to process JPGs has been updated, too, to ensure the best possible results, regardless of shooting conditions.

Lumia cameras have always produced impressive results because of their combination of top-notch optics (the physical lenses that make up the camera), high-quality sensors (that capture and record the light the lenses help to focus), speedy autofocus and the best in image processing software. I am still in love with the #Lumia1020 which is not part of this update though but considering the improved camera capabilities with Denim updates, you can do wonders with mobile photography.

The Lumia Denim update maintains this tradition of excellence and makes the existing, already outstanding camera hardware found on the Lumia 830, Lumia 930 and Lumia 1520 even better and more flexible, helping you capture images as you really see them. If you have any of these three devices, go ahead and become a better, improved and motivated photographer to capture the whole world in your pockets.

Cheers!!!
