Samsung's Galaxy S22 and S21 May Receive the Background-Remover Image Clipper Tool

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

The Samsung Image Clipper is similar to the “lift a subject from a photo background” on iOS. It does work for images or video screenshots with a pronounced subject that must be discernible from the background. We provided a step-by-step guide on how does Image Clipper is performed on a Galaxy S23.

Which Samsung phones will gain the Image Clipper next?

According to a frequent Twitter leaker, TechReve, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 lineups will receive the same software feature, and which will arrive in April via the updated Gallery app from Samsung. The source didn’t mention whether Samsung’s other phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will receive the in-app tool considering these have newer chipsets compared to the aforementioned S2x series.

It was also previously reported (via SamMobile) that there are plans in the pipeline for older devices to receive the Image Clipper function. Unfortunately, there is still no official news or developments until now. However, based on previous Samsung apps like Expert RAW, it is safe to say that Samsung may already be working to expand the backward compatibility of this feature to a wider list of flagship Galaxy phones.

Apart from the photo editing tool, the Samsung Galaxy S23 (review) trio ships with another exclusive capability within the camera app known as Star Trails. The mode is found under the Hyperlapse feature of these camera smartphones, and it allows the capture of hypnotizing night sky video clips.
