Galaxy S24’s Instant Slow-mo feature will roll out to more devices
Samsung will bring the Galaxy S24’s AI-powered Instant Slow-mo feature to a few older flagship devices. The company took to its official community forum in South Korea to reveal that the new feature will come to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series with a software update. It might be bundled with the One UI 6.1 update, which will also bring more AI features from the Galaxy S24 series.
Samsung will bring Galaxy S24’s Instant Slow-mo to more devices
Instant Slow-mo is one of the many new AI features Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S24 lineup last month. It lets you watch any recorded video in slow motion, no matter its original frame rate. All you need to do is tap and hold the screen while the video is playing in the gallery or the built-in video player. The device uses AI to generate intermediate motion between recorded frames to give you a smooth slow-motion video.
All of the processing and frame generations happen in real-time as long as you hold the screen. You can even edit the video to save a portion of it or the whole video in slow motion and share it on social media. It is a cool feature to have on your smartphone. During the Galaxy S24 launch, Samsung didn’t reveal whether Instant Slow-mo would come to older Galaxy phones. But we now have confirmation that it will, at least to a handful of models.
If you noticed, all of the aforementioned devices were launched in 2023 and are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Samsung isn’t bringing the feature to 2022 models because it needs a powerful GPU and NPU. The device must process 60fps videos within 16.6 milliseconds for smooth slow-motion playback in real-time. The moderator suggests the likes of the Galaxy S22 series and fourth-gen foldables can’t do that reliably.
Samsung is also working on improving the feature
Along with expanding support to older models, Samsung is working on improving Instant Slow-mo. An updated version of the feature will add support for 10-bit videos. You can currently only watch 8-bit videos in slow motion using this feature. It will also bring the resolution limit down to 480p from 720p (supported up to 8K). Lastly, the feature will work with .mov video file format along with .mp4 files.
Note that Instant Slow-mo doesn’t work with videos saved in the cloud because the resolution and quality of streaming videos may change automatically depending on network conditions. Web-only streaming files (.webm) are also not supported, though you can download and convert the video to .mp4 (soon .mov) format and watch it in slow motion. This also applies to cloud videos.
That said, you must ensure that the downloaded file meets the resolution criteria stated above. If a downloaded or shared video doesn’t have the resolution information, you cannot use Instant Slow-mo on it. If you are using a Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, or Galaxy Tab S9, stay tuned for a new update that brings this cool new feature. One UI 6.1 will also be available to the likes of the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21.
