Multiple reports say Samsung is testing whether a camera feature associated with the Galaxy S26 could be added to the Galaxy S25 series via a future One UI 9 software update. Android Authority reports that an internal One UI 9 test build indicates the “Horizontal Lock” mode—described as gimbal-like stabilization—may be backported to the Galaxy S25 lineup. NDTV similarly reports that Samsung could enable a “Horizontal Lock” option in Super Steady mode, which is expected to improve video stabilization by keeping footage more steady along the horizontal axis. NDTV also cites a reference spotted in an internal One UI 9 test build for the Galaxy S25+ and mentions a specific build identifier, DZG4.
The reports are based on information found in internal software test materials and do not confirm final availability, timing, or whether the feature will reach all Galaxy S25 models. No pricing or official rollout details are provided in the sources.
