There’s plenty of talk about the remarkable photo-taking abilities of our smartphones, but they also excel at video recording. However, it’s common for such footage to pick up unwanted background noise during filming.
The Audio Magic Eraser is an impressive feature that uses artificial intelligence to remove unwanted sounds from videos. Although this tool is currently available only on Google Pixel 8 and later models, including the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, there are indications that a similar tool may soon appear on Samsung devices.
According to a leak from Ice Universe on Weibo, Samsung is developing an audio eraser feature for its Galaxy S24 series, which may be included in the forthcoming One UI 7 update. The leaker even shared a screenshot demonstrating the function in action.
Google’s Audio Magic Eraser employs sophisticated machine learning to identify and separate sounds, including speech, music, and ambient noise. This innovative technology allows users to selectively reduce or eliminate distracting sounds while keeping key audio intact. For instance, you can effectively lower the noise of a crowded venue or the wind in an outdoor video while maintaining clarity in conversations. The Audio Magic Eraser acts as a virtual sound engineer, enhancing your video productions to be more engaging and polished, resulting in videos with improved audio quality.
From the leaked screenshot, it appears that Samsung’s version may provide comparable functionalities, including options to adjust the volume of voices, wind, and other background sounds. This tool could feature volume sliders, enabling users to fine-tune audio levels manually within their videos.
Samsung has started rolling out the initial beta version of One UI 7, bringing Android 15 to compatible devices. The public rollout of this software is anticipated in the near future. However, the “next” version of One UI 7 mentioned by Ice Universe is not expected until later.
When could this happen? It’s likely that Samsung will debut the newer iteration of One UI 7 alongside the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, which is speculated to be unveiled next month. If this occurs, any audio eraser features may be exclusive to the new devices. The Galaxy S25 lineup is expected to comprise the standard Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 Plus, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
If this rumor holds true, it’s exciting news for Samsung users. Improvements in video recording features by major companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung are advantageous for both casual and professional videographers alike.
