The Galaxy S25’s screen will make even potato quality video look good

Tired of your photos and videos looking too grainy to share with your friends on social media, or experiencing rough gameplay on the go? Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip installed into the Samsung Galaxy S25 will make the screen look crystal clear thanks to ProScaler.

Announced at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Unpacked event on Wednesday, the ProScaler feature improves the quality and accuracy of photos, videos, and even games by up to 40%, even in HD Plus and FHD Plus modes. It works in tandem with efficient AI image processing and Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) to make photo composition look sharper. It makes even potato quality videos look like Academy Award-winning films compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Galaxy S24 models.
