Summary
- The Samsung Galaxy S25 may soon get Log profile support on the front camera.
- Leaked screenshots from a tipster show Log mode in action on the Galaxy S25 Edge’s front camera, hinting that Samsung is testing it for the whole S25 line.
- Expect Log mode to roll out to the Galaxy S25 series with the June security update.
Samsung has been fine-tuning its Galaxy S cameras for years, and with the Galaxy S25, it has finally baked in Log profile support, which is a classic tool filmmakers love for its cinematic look. Right now, it’s only available on the rear cameras, but a new report says this pro-level feature might soon make its way to the selfie camera too.
Two leaked screenshots from tipster @DevOfIpos on X seem to show Log mode running on the Galaxy S25 Edge’s front camera (via Sammy Fans). One shot is from the Pro Video mode, the other from the regular Video mode. And in both, you can clearly spot the Log toggle in the top-right corner of the screen.
It appears that Samsung is testing out front-facing Log support for the S25 lineup, too. When asked for more details, the leaker added that this front-camera Log mode is expected to roll out to the Galaxy S25 series with the June security update. For context, Samsung first brought Log video recording to the Galaxy S24 series with One UI 7, but just like the current S25 setup, it was limited to the rear cameras at launch.
Why Log mode laps
It’s like shooting in raw for video
Log video recording gives you way more detail and a wider dynamic range than your usual video mode, which makes it a solid pick for content creators who need that extra control. What makes it special is it gives you a blank canvas with a flat, neutral look that color graders love. You can pull out hidden details and tweak the footage way more than what you’d get straight out of normal video mode.

It’s worth noting that the Galaxy S25 Edge’s front camera already has this feature. It’s also important to keep in mind that Log video files can be pretty hefty. This is because they capture a lot of extra data, including detail from both the bright and dark parts of the image, which you can later tweak in post-production for more control.
The upcoming One UI 8 update is expected to bring Log video recording to more devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, with front-facing cameras getting the feature too.
