TL;DR<\/p>\n

Samsung appears to be preparing One UI 8.5 to support TILTA wireless lens controllers.
\nThe same hardware used to adjust focus with professional cameras could be used with Galaxy phones.
\nSamsung may initially feature this support with Galaxy S26 phones.<\/p>\n

Samsung just took home our Reader\u2019s Choice award for the best phone of 2025<\/a> with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but will it be able to repeat that success next year? Even with Samsung\u2019s launches still a couple months away, some of us have already been souring on the idea of the Galaxy S26 lineup<\/a>, worried that Samsung\u2019s gotten too complacent, and isn\u2019t doing enough to keep things feeling fresh. Those concerns extend to the phones\u2019 cameras, but even if we don\u2019t get a big upgrade to camera hardware, we\u2019re still spotting a few improvements on the horizon for Samsung\u2019s camera software.<\/p>\n

This one\u2019s definitely a bit more special-interest than most of the features we uncovered in development for smartphone cameras, but it\u2019s noteworthy for the extent to which Samsung feels like it\u2019s explicitly looking to appeal to professional photographers, possibly looking to raise the profile of the Galaxy name in such circles.<\/p>\n

Looking into the changes present with Samsung\u2019s Camera assistant app in One UI 8.5, we\u2019ve identified some code strings describing new hardware support.<\/p>\n

Code<\/p>\n

Copy TextTILTA wireless lens controller
\nUse a TILTA controller to operate the camera in Pro video mode. Nearby device permission required.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re not immediately familiar with that brand, TILTA<\/a> manufactures camera mounts and lens-control accessories. And based on the\u00a0 the description we have here, it appears that Samsung is preparing to support TILTA hardware on Samsung Galaxy phones.<\/p>\n

\"tilta<\/p>\n

While that won\u2019t necessarily have to be the S26 series, that sure looks to be where this support could debut. Presumably, this kind of compatibility would allow professional photographers using TILTA equipment to integrate Samsung phones into their shooting workflow, using the same precision remote gear they employ to pull the focus on high-end cameras to remotely control the phone\u2019s focus, as well.<\/p>\n

Unless you feel like going out and picking up some expensive new hardware, this news probably isn\u2019t for you. But we know there are also those of you out there who are already carrying around a bunch of this kit, and maybe the idea of being able to use some of it to also control filming with your phone sounds like a handy upgrade that could be coming your way soon.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
