Samsung’s upscaling technology initially debuted in theEnhance-Xphoto-editing app.

But very few Galaxy owners know about Enhance-X, as it isn’t preinstalled on Samsung phones.

This feature was first reported byMishaal Rahman.

He tested the feature on a dull, noisy, highly-compressed image that contained some hardly-legible text.

Of course, image upscaling is never a perfect process.

And, like AI-generated images, AI-upscaled photos tend to have a soft, oily, or smeary quality.

Boosting an image’s resolution will also increase its file size.
