Some people who wanted to pair the flash with the ultra-wide camera lens can now give it a go with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It wasn’t a hugely popular complaint, but it wasn’t exactly rare either—people were wondering why Samsung wouldn’t let users use the flash at 0.6x on older Galaxy Ultras. After similar questions flooded Reddit and Samsung’s community forums, a moderator from the team responded to this query. And now, I’m happy to report that the flash works with the ultra-wide lens on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
You can use the flash with Galaxy S25 Ultra’s ultra-wide lens, but don’t expect the same everywhere
After spotting this functionality on the S25 Ultra, we wondered if we could use the flash with the ultra-wide camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is running One UI 7.0 Beta 3. But nope, that doesn’t work. Some suggested a workaround where you exit the camera app, turn on the flashlight, and then relaunch the camera. We tried it, and it didn’t work. You’re welcome to give it a shot and let us know if it works for you.
And just a quick heads-up: if you’re eyeing the Galaxy S25 Ultra, you’d better act fast to snag those pre-order deals. Right now, Samsung is offering the Galaxy S25 Ultra for as low as $399, plus free Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. This offer is available when you trade in your old device. On top of what Samsung is offering, you’ll also get a free Mystery Box from us. It’s packed with a bunch of accessories that pair perfectly with your Galaxy S25 Ultra. No need to worry about shipping fees either. The only catch is that we only ship within the US, and stocks are limited. Once pre-orders close, so will this deal.
