How to make your Galaxy S25 Ultra camera snap photos faster

The Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung’s newest top-tier phone from the Galaxy S series, comes with an awesome camera. If you’ve got one and want to speed up how fast it takes pictures, here’s a simple guide to help you out.
Samsung added a handy tool called Intelligent Optimization, first seen in the Galaxy S24 series and now improved in the Galaxy S25 Ultra with One UI 7. This feature lets you tweak how the camera works to capture shots quickly.
What’s Intelligent Optimization?
This feature fixes your photos after you snap them, making them look sharper and better. It’s great for both pro-level shots and casual pics. However, this extra step can slow things down a bit. After you press the button, the camera takes a moment to polish the image before it’s ready for the next one.
How It Affects Camera Speed
When Intelligent Optimization is on, it boosts photo quality but adds a small wait before you can take another picture. The delay depends on the setting you pick. By default, it’s set to “Maximum,” which focuses on the best quality but takes longer. Switching to “Minimum” skips most of the polishing, letting you snap the next photo right away.
Steps to Speed Up Your Camera
You can tweak this setting easily on your Galaxy S25 Ultra to make the camera faster. Here’s how:
- Open the Camera app on your phone.
- Tap the Settings icon (it looks like a little gear).
- Find and tap on “Intelligent Optimization.”
You’ll see three choices:
- Maximum: Best quality, slower speed.
- Medium: Balances speed and quality.
- Minimum: Fastest shots with little to no extra processing.
- Pick “Minimum” if you want the quickest camera speed.
With these easy steps, your Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera will be ready to snap photos as fast as you need. Whether you’re capturing quick moments or just want less waiting, this tweak makes it simple and fun!
