The Galaxy S27 Ultra may debut with self-healing glass
Android Authority remembers the LG G Flex 2.
Leaked internal software suggests Samsung may bring the Galaxy S26 Ultra's portrait lighting feature to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The tool, called Virtual Reflector, appears in a One UI 9 build intended for the S25 series. Virtual Reflector mimics a physical photography reflector in software, brightening backlit subjects without overexposing the background.
Samsung has not yet confirmed a One UI 9 beta for the S25 Ultra, so the feature's fate remains uncertain. Recent leaks indicate Samsung is preparing more than a typical software update for the Galaxy S25 series, with camera enhancements like Horizontal Lock and My FanCam already in development. The Virtual Reflector feature, discovered by leaker Fahad Ali Javed, could provide the 2025 flagship with a valuable new tool for portrait photography in challenging lighting conditions, pending further confirmation from Samsung.
