It seems that Samsung is not going to add this feature to older phones, much to the dismay of users. The One UI 5.1 update, which arrived on the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, and Z Fold 4, brought new camera options and features, but not Astro Hyperlapse.

While the Galaxy S23 lineup is doing well in South Korea, users who don’t plan to purchase new devices will obviously be left without the Astro Hyperlapse. This feature is one of the main features of the S23 camera line.offering the ability to create time-lapse videos of the night sky.

Using the resource, the user can create beautiful videos of the night sky, stars and follow the movement of clouds during the night. Another feature that is also only present in the One UI 5.1 version of the S23 series is a tool to remove objects from images. With the advent of One UI 5.1 in past generations such as S22 and S21, this tool has also not been introduced to other devices.

Since this is a software update, it seems that Samsung will be able to make such tools available for older generations of smartphones, especially if there is not much difference in the computing power of the devices. Anyway, it looks like the company has decided keep some features exclusive to the Galaxy S23 to make the device stand out. Since sales, at least in South Korea, are higher than the previous generation, this decision may not have been necessary.
