Igeekphone 26 February: Tech media Android Authority published a blog post today (26 February), stating that on the Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship phone, Samsung has upgraded the “Super Steady” mode, giving 8K video recording a new practical value.
Igeekphone reported that on the Galaxy S26 Ultra phone, Samsung has restructured the “Super Stabilization” function. By integrating optical stabilization (OIS), electronic stabilization (EIS) and AI algorithms, it has also incorporated real-time gyroscope and accelerometer data. The device uses these hardware data to predict the movement path of the device in advance, enabling it to perform image correction more quickly.
When the super stabilization function of the mobile phone is activated, it will directly utilize all the pixels of the 8K sensor and cut out a 4K frame as a moving window within it. As the user’s hand shakes or the device moves, this 4K window will perform reverse dynamic compensation within the physical boundaries of the 8K sensor to ensure that the subject of the shot always remains centered in the frame.
This anti-shake mechanism based on an 8K large sensor can perfectly simulate the stable effect of professional physical pan-tilt units, further expanding the application scenarios of motion shooting. When users swing their phones dramatically along with the music during a concert, the phone can still stably lock the band on the stage within the camera frame.
After conducting a hands-on test, the tech media Android Authority stated that even when the Galaxy S26 Ultra rotates 360 degrees in all directions, the recorded footage can precisely capture the horizon, with only a minimal amount of natural shaking. This feature will become an excellent tool for enthusiasts of intense sports such as running, cycling, and snowboarding.
