One UI 8.5 upgrades Studio with HDR and SDR previews

Samsung may have brought a significant upgrade to the Studio app in One UI 8.5. Galaxy users will have an even better editing experience while creating movies using the built-in Studio app.

Galaxy S25 series may begin receiving One UI 8.5 update on Monday. Samsung plans to open the rollout on May 9 in North America. After missing the April 30 target, the company is probably considering May 4 for rollout.

In the latest build of Galaxy S25 Ultra, tipster Alfaturk spotted a new “Preview color” option inside the “Project settings” screen. The addition hints that the company has upgraded the Studio experience on its Galaxy devices.

The new “Preview color” option features three options for color range, including Auto, SDR and HDR. Selecting the preferred option will display content in preview in the selected color range, making editing more precise.

  • If you pick the Auto option, the preview will match the color range to the content of your projects.
  • Selecting SDR will force the preview function to use the standard color range for images and videos.
  • Lastly, the HDR option triggers the preview to show a wider range of color and contrast for brighter, more vibrant images and videos.

Samsung’s Studio app isn’t a widely used app for editing. It has a limited set of features that just deliver nominal tweaks. Users rely on third-party apps like VN and CapCut for video editing.

Still, Samsung’s upgrading Studio app with new capabilities is a welcome move. The addition seems silent, which might also have appeared on the previous versions of One UI software.
