Samsung Galaxy S26 could challenge iPhone with pro-grade video tools


Samsung’s APV codec will supposedly beat Apple's ProRes in storage efficiency.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series is shaping up to be a major shake-up for Android camera phones, and a new leak suggests it could finally give Apple ’s iPhone Pro models a serious rival in professional video. The report mentions support for LOG recording and integrated LUT (Look-Up Table) profiles, giving users the ability to shoot flatter footage for easier color grading and then apply or preview different looks right on the device. There are also signs of improvements for tools like Horizon Lock for steadier shots during movement, upgraded document scanning, more granular control over Motion Photos, and external drive support through USB-C.
