Samsung Galaxy S25 Series Steals Video Capture Revolution From Apple’s iPhone
Samsung Galaxy S25 Camera App: Record Videos Directly to External Storage
TL;DR
- Samsung’s Camera Assistant app now allows you to save videos directly to external USB-C storage.
- This feature is currently limited to the Galaxy S25 series of phones.
- The option is similar to one seen on iPhones, which started offering this feature in 2023.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series of phones has taken the world by storm with its impressive camera capabilities. The phones’ ability to capture stunning videos is one of their standout features. Now, it seems that Samsung has added another useful feature to its camera app – the ability to record videos directly to external USB-C storage.
According to frequent tipster Ice Universe, the latest version of the Camera Assistant app now allows you to automatically save videos to external storage. This feature supports Video, Pro Video, Portrait Video, Timelapse, and Slow-Motion modes in Samsung’s camera app. Check out the screenshot below to see how it works.

This is a welcome addition as Galaxy phones previously didn’t support this feature via the stock Samsung camera app. Instead, owners had to use third-party camera apps if they wanted to record directly to USB-C storage. This is useful if you plan to record footage and edit it on another platform, saving you from having to transfer to external storage via the phone’s file manager or by plugging your phone into a computer.
This feature also comes after Apple introduced the ability to record ProRes video directly to USB-C storage with the iPhone 15 series. So, we’re happy to see Samsung catch up and adopt this option. We also hope that other Android OEMs jump on the bandwagon and support this feature as it could make life easier for people shooting video on their phones.
In other news, Ice Universe adds that the updated Camera Assistant now offers an HDR10+ video toggle, but we’re not sure how this option differs from the toggle seen in the Samsung camera app.
