One UI 8.5 is equipping the Samsung Camera app with White Balance feature in Photo mode. The new adjustment tool is currently under development and expected to be applied in a future One UI 8.5 Beta build.

A new leak by PhoneArt suggests that One UI 8.5 could bring a new way to manually adjust white balance in the standard Photo mode.

Tests show that changes made with the slider do not apply correctly to the captured images. This is expected in early test builds, where features are added but still require polishing.

Until now, manual white balance on Samsung phones has been limited to Pro mode or Expert RAW app, requiring more steps. Bringing it to the Photo mode would make it accessible for everyday shooting without switching modes.

Users can access it by opening the Camera app, switching to Photo mode, tapping the settings icon with four dots, and selecting the WB option. This opens a slider that allows adjustments from around 3,000 Kelvin up to 10,000 Kelvin.

Under indoor lighting, the camera often produces cooler tones when warmer ones would be more accurate. Manual adjustment lets users correct these errors on the spot or apply a specific color temperature for creative effect.

The latest version of One UI 8.5 adds a function to the default camera. This kind of detail may only be easily found by me.

Samsung has not confirmed when this white balance option will become active. The company is preparing the second One UI 8.5 Beta, which is likely to include other camera improvements, such as expanded options in Pro mode.

One UI 8.5 is also being prepared to bring back missing features like Single Take and Dual Recording through the Camera Assistant app. Given the current state, the WB tool may appear in a later Beta build once it works reliably.
