The quality of video captured through smartphone cameras in general has improved dramatically over the past few years.

Smartphone camera video quality has improved dramatically over the past few years. It's now possible to create short films or vlogs with just a small smartphone. However, there's still a big problem: unwanted background noise can often be picked up when you shoot video with your phone.

Google understands this problem and has created Audio Magic Eraser, a useful feature that uses artificial intelligence to remove unwanted noise from recorded videos. Audio Magic Eraser is currently exclusive to the Google Pixel 8 and newer Pixel models, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. However, it looks like Samsung will soon introduce a similar tool to its Galaxy devices.

According to a leak from popular 'leaker' Ice Universe on Weibo, the Galaxy S24 series maker is developing a background noise filtering tool that could be included in the next version of One UI 7. The leakster has also revealed screenshots showing the feature in action.

If you don't know, Google's Audio Magic Eraser uses advanced machine learning to identify and isolate sounds like speech, music, and background noise. It lets you selectively reduce or remove distracting sounds while leaving important audio intact. For example, you can quickly reduce the noise of a crowd at a concert or the wind in a landscape video, while keeping voices clear and audible. Simply put, Audio Magic Eraser acts as a virtual audio engineer, tweaking your videos to make them more enjoyable to watch and listen to. The result is cleaner, more professional-sounding videos with improved audio quality.

According to the screenshots, 'Samsung's version of Audio Magic Eraser' could offer similar features, such as the ability to adjust voice volume, filter out wind noise, and other types of background noise. The tool could also integrate a volume slider, allowing you to manually tweak the audio levels in your videos.

Samsung has started rolling out the first beta of One UI 7, which will introduce Android 15 to compatible devices. The public release of One UI 7 is expected to roll out in the coming weeks.

Samsung is likely to launch the newer version of One UI 7 alongside the Galaxy S25 series early next year. As such, the new audio filtering tool will likely be exclusive to these new devices as well. The Galaxy S25 series is expected to include three versions: the standard Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Assuming this rumor is true, this is big news for Samsung device owners. Whenever companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung improve their video recording capabilities, it's a boon for both the amateur and professional videographer communities.
