Samsung has introduced a major update for its Galaxy S24 series with the latest One UI 7 Beta 5 update, bringing LOG (logarithmic footage) video recording support. The update, reportedly available for the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, allows users to capture a wider dynamic range in their videos, preserving details in both bright and dark areas.

The South Korean tech giant states that LOG video recording retains more image data compared to standard formats, offering users greater flexibility in post-production. The format supports a 10-bit HEVC codec, which enhances codec compatibility and storage efficiency.

Samsung expands LOG video support

Initially introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, LOG video capture is now being extended to older devices, beginning with the Galaxy S24 lineup. Previously, the feature was exclusive to the Ultra model in the One UI 7 Beta 4 update.

Samsung claims that LOG recording not only reduces production time but also provides better control over colors, shadows, highlights, and other image elements, making it a valuable tool for content creators.

Other key fixes and improvements

Beyond the video recording enhancement, the One UI 7 Beta 5 update also addresses multiple system issues:

• Fixes an intermittent display error in the Now Bar controller.
• Resolves issues with small icons in the Widget Setting screen.
• Fixes the Gallery Edit button malfunction.
• Corrects font and image overlap problems.
• Enhances media playback notifications in real time.
• Improves spacing in the Quick Action menu.
• Fixes a Notification History operation error.

This update, based on Android 15, aims to refine the user experience by introducing new features while resolving existing bugs.

A curfew has been imposed in several areas of Nagpur following violent clashes that erupted on Monday night over demands to remove Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb from Maharashtra. The unrest left 33 police officers and five civilians injured, with multiple shops and vehicles set ablaze.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde have labeled the violence as a “planned conspiracy” and blamed it on deliberate misinformation. Fadnavis pointed to the large-scale stone-pelting and targeted attacks, saying, “We got a trolley of stones, indicating planning, and some specified houses and institutions were targeted.”

He added that misinformation about a religious symbol on a symbolic grave sparked the violence. “One Deputy Commissioner was attacked with an axe… those who took the law into their hands will not be spared,” he asserted.

Clashes fueled by ‘Chhava’ movie and political tensions

The controversy began when right-wing groups Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal staged a protest demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s grave. The groups symbolically burned a grave made of grass and raised slogans. This, according to authorities, led to the spread of false claims that religious texts were burned, triggering a reaction from the Muslim community.

Eknath Shinde backed Fadnavis’ claims, saying, “Patriotic Muslims will never support Aurangzeb.” He further called Aurangzeb’s tomb a “blot on Maharashtra” and accused opposition parties of inciting the violence.

Opposition alleges BJP conspiracy

Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray countered the ruling alliance’s claims, alleging that the BJP was attempting to create a “Manipur-like situation” in Maharashtra. His party colleague, Priyanka Chaturvedi, also accused the BJP of orchestrating the violence as part of a larger political agenda.

Meanwhile, Union Minister and Nagpur MP Nitin Gadkari urged people not to believe in rumors, stating, “Nagpur is known for maintaining peace. I urge my brothers not to fall for misinformation.”

Current situation in Nagpur

Heavy security has been deployed across the city, particularly near Aurangzeb’s tomb, which is under legal protection. Several houses and shops were vandalized, and multiple vehicles were torched during the riots.

Residents recounted terrifying experiences, with one, Sharad Gupta from Hansapuri, stating that a mob attacked his house around 10:30 PM, setting his two-wheelers on fire while police response was delayed.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and curfew measures remain in place to prevent further escalation.
