Losing precious photos on your Samsung phone can be stressful. Whether it’s due to an SD card failure, software glitches, or accidental deletion, the good news is that in most cases, recovery is possible. This guide explains where Samsung photos are stored, different recovery methods, and tips to prevent future photo loss.
Where Samsung Photos Are Stored
On Samsung devices, photos are usually saved in the DCIM/Camera folder inside your internal storage. If you use an SD card, your pictures might be stored there instead. The recovery process depends on where your images are located, as recovery tools treat internal storage and SD cards differently.
To check the location, open your Gallery or Camera app and review the storage settings. Knowing the exact location will make the recovery process easier.
Recovering Photos from an SD Card
If your deleted photos were stored on an SD card, you can use a powerful recovery tool like Wondershare Recoverit Photo Recovery. This software is designed to handle cases like system crashes, device formatting, and other technical issues. It uses a deep scanning algorithm with a 96% success rate, supports over 120 file formats (including RAW, PNG, and JPG), and allows you to preview photos before recovering them.
Quick Tutorial: Recover Deleted Photos from a Samsung SD Card
Step 1: Open Recoverit and Connect Your SD Card Launch Wondershare Recoverit on your computer. Insert your SD card into a card reader and connect it to the PC. On the main screen, choose the “SD Card Recovery” option and click Scan to start the process.
Step 2: Scan and Restore Your Photos While the scan is running, look through the results to find your lost images. Use the Preview feature to check their quality before restoring. Once you confirm the right photos, click Recover and save them to a safe location.
For a more detailed walkthrough, you can watch the official Wondershare Recoverit video tutorial.
Recovering Photos from Internal Memory
If your deleted images were stored in your phone’s internal storage, you can try cloud-based options first.
Samsung Cloud (OneDrive Integration): If Gallery sync is enabled, your photos might be saved in OneDrive. Go to Settings → Account → Samsung Cloud and enable Gallery sync. Log in to OneDrive, check your albums, and restore any missing photos.
Google Photos: If you use Google Photos, check the Trash Bin, which stores deleted images for up to 60 days. Open Google Photos, go to Bin, select the photo you want, and tap Restore.
Is Photo Recovery Possible?
Yes. When you delete a photo, it doesn’t disappear instantly; it remains until it’s overwritten by new data. This means recovery is often possible, especially if you act quickly. Tools like Recoverit speed up the process and improve your chances of getting back permanently deleted images.
Tips to Prevent Photo Loss and Recover Photos
Stop using your device immediately to avoid overwriting deleted data.
Check the Trash or Recycle Bin in apps like Google Photos before using recovery tools.
Use one recovery method at a time for better success rates.
Run an SD card error check if you suspect corruption.
Preview files before recovery to ensure you restore the right images.
Recover files to a different storage location to prevent further data loss.
Act quickly; the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to retrieve lost photos.
Accidental photo deletion can happen to anyone, but with the right tools and quick action, you can recover most lost images. Cloud services like Samsung Cloud and Google Photos work well for recently deleted files, while Wondershare Recoverit is the best option for deeply deleted or lost photos from both internal storage and SD cards. Acting fast and keeping regular backups is the key to ensuring your memories are always safe.

Huawei is still a couple of generations behind in terms of performance (on its smartphones) after losing access to its primary chip supplier, TSMC. The brand turned to China’s SMIC for its latest Kirin chipset due to the US restrictions. But news hints at the next gen flagships getting faster thanks to improvements in chip tech.
Huawei’s Mate 80 Series Gets Faster
The latest news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims that the next gen Kirin 9030 SoC will get a performance upgrade of around 20 percent. To recall, the current Huawei flagship is the Pura 80 lineup, which features the Kirin 9020 chipset. In other words, the newer Huawei Mate 80 series models like the Mate 80 and Mate 80 RS Ultimate edition will likely pack this newer and faster processor.
Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design Edition
While initial rumors had hinted at the upcoming Kirin processors being based on the 5nm process, the latest leak hints otherwise. Since China’s biggest foundry (SMIC) does not have the equipment for the more advanced processing node, it might be working with Huawei for multi-patterning techniques. This is basically a process where SMIC puts a silicon wafer through multiple etching processes to capture the correct transistor density and features.
Now, tipster Digital Chat Station says the new Dimensity 9500 will be announced on September 22, just one day before Qualcomm’s Snapdragon event.
We’ve already seen some early benchmark numbers for Qualcomm’s chip in a phone that appears to be the Galaxy S26 Edge. The results weren’t final, but they gave us a rough idea of its power.
Both new chips are expected to use TSMC’s latest 3nm process, which should make them faster and more power-efficient. However, their designs are different.
MediaTek will use ARM’s standard CPU and GPU designs for Dimensity 9500. It is expected to feature a combo of four Cortex-X930 (three clocked slightly lower) and four Cortex-A730. Qualcomm, on the other hand, is working on custom Oryon cores for 8 Elite 2.
Moreover, the Dimensity 9500’s fastest cores could run at 4.00GHz, faster than last year’s Dimensity 9400, but still slower than Qualcomm’s rumored 4.74GHz for the 8 Elite 2. The chip will likely keep the same 12-core Mali-G1 Ultra GPU as before.
With this setup, MediaTek’s solution reportedly scores over 3,900 in single-core and exceeds 11,000 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6.
Another notable upgrade could be support for ARM’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), which could make the Dimensity 9500 much better at heavy computing tasks and boost multi-core performance by a notable margin.
September will not be just about the chips, though. Once they’re official, we are pretty sure that Android manufacturers will start teasing their new flagship phones with these chips. In fact, the Xiaomi 16 series, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, is expected to launch later that month.

Huawei has officially launched its new AI inference framework, Unified Cache Manager (UCM), following earlier reports about the company’s plans to reduce reliance on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips.
As anticipated, UCM introduces a memory management solution aimed at accelerating large model inference. Huawei claims the framework improves system throughput and latency by managing KV Cache data more efficiently across different memory tiers.
Huawei targets AI bottlenecks with UCM
UCM is built around a simple but effective goal: make large AI models run faster without needing premium memory hardware. It introduces a hierarchical memory management structure for KV Cache, a key component used during inference. By segmenting memory use across HBM, standard DRAM, and SSDs, UCM allocates data based on real-time latency needs.
Huawei tested UCM in real-world business applications at China UnionPay, including customer voice analysis, marketing planning, and office assistance. The company reported up to a 90% reduction in latency and a 22-fold increase in throughput. These performance gains demonstrate how software-level optimizations can help bypass hardware limitations.
Context: China’s limited access to HBM
HBM is a critical resource for running large AI models. It delivers high bandwidth and low latency for GPUs, allowing fast retrieval of massive parameter sets. However, global supply is dominated by SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Micron Technology. China currently faces restrictions on HBM exports from the United States and its allies, limiting access to newer versions such as HBM3 and HBM4.
Huawei’s UCM arrives as a timely workaround. Instead of relying entirely on HBM, the software enables more flexible use of available memory. It supports inference at scale using conventional components, which could be a major benefit for AI deployments in China amid ongoing tech sanctions.
Open-source roadmap and ecosystem push
Huawei plans to open source UCM in September 2025. The first release will appear on the company’s MindSpore community platform. Huawei will later contribute the toolkit to mainstream inference engines and share it with ecosystem partners, including storage vendors aligned with its “Share Everything” architecture.
This mirrors Huawei’s broader strategy around its Ascend AI hardware. The company previously announced plans to open source its Compute Architecture for Neural Networks (CANN), an alternative to Nvidia’s CUDA, aimed at developers working on Ascend chips.
Software-led response to hardware restrictions
UCM represents a wider trend in China’s AI sector, where software solutions are stepping in to counter limited hardware access. Startups like DeepSeek have already made progress using fewer chips by refining memory usage and optimizing model deployment. Huawei’s UCM continues this effort at the infrastructure level.
Zhou Yuefeng, Huawei’s vice president of storage product lines, confirmed that UCM’s architecture can be deployed across different levels of storage, adapting to memory availability without impacting performance. This flexible structure allows for smoother operation in data centers, where memory demand fluctuates depending on workload.
US-China chip tensions and the shift to domestic solutions
The development comes amid ongoing tensions between China and the United States over semiconductor access. The US government has tightened export restrictions on advanced AI chips and high-performance memory. China has responded by investing in its domestic semiconductor industry, but local players are still catching up. Companies like Yangtze Memory and Changxin Memory Technologies are working on HBM2 chips, while international rivals are already shipping HBM4.
Huawei remains at the center of this shift. The company has introduced its CloudMatrix 384 AI system and Ascend processor series as alternatives to Nvidia’s offerings. Chinese regulators have reportedly urged local firms to reduce reliance on Nvidia and AMD for sensitive or government-linked applications.
So yeah, UCM is part of this broader strategy. By improving memory efficiency through software, Huawei is building a more self-reliant AI infrastructure that minimizes dependence on restricted hardware. As the AI race increasingly revolves around memory bandwidth and data flow, tools like UCM could help define how China deploys large-scale AI models in the years ahead.
Vivo has pulled the wraps off the V60, the follow-up to the V50 that came out in February. This one is clearly aimed at camera lovers, bringing a mix of hardware tweaks and software upgrades to give it an edge in its price range. It’s priced from ₹36,999 and is up for pre-order on Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo’s own store.
On the back, you get three cameras — a 50MP Sony IMX766 main sensor, a 50MP IMX882 telephoto, and an 8MP ultrawide. The telephoto uses Vivo’s “ZEISS Multifocal Portrait” to shoot at both 85mm and 100mm focal lengths, so you can get that creamy bokeh even when your subject is a bit far away. Vivo’s also leaning on AI image processing to clean up and sharpen shots, both on the rear cameras and the 50MP wide-angle selfie shooter. There’s even an “Aura Light” on the back for better portraits in low light.

Despite packing a massive 6,500mAh battery, Vivo says the V60 is the slimmest phone in India with that battery size — it’s just 7.65mm thick and weighs 192g. The curved middle frame helps it sit nicely in the hand, and you can pick from Moonlit Blue, Auspicious Gold, or Mist Gray. It also supports 90W fast charging, so topping up that big battery shouldn’t take too long.
Powering it is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip. It’s not the ultimate gaming processor, but it’ll cruise through everyday use without a fuss. Up front, there’s an FHD+ AMOLED display that can hit 5,000 nits peak brightness. The “micro-quad curved” glass blends into the frame for a smooth feel. The phone will hit the shelves on August 19th.
ShengShu Technology has introduced Vidar, an advanced embodied AI model created to transform the way consumer humanoid robots are trained. This system focuses on delivering faster, smarter, and more cost-effective training, moving away from the months of expensive real-world data collection that traditional robot development often requires. Instead, Vidar relies on a unique combination of minimal physical data and large-scale AI-generated simulations, resulting in quicker learning cycles and lower development expenses without sacrificing realism.
Core Approach and Technology Base
Vidar is powered by ShengShu’s proven Vidu generative video engine, a platform widely recognized for its success in creative and industrial fields. With this foundation, Vidar generates realistic multi-view simulations that capture the complexity of real-world environments. By learning from only a small set of real-world footage, the system can create highly accurate training scenarios at scale, making it far more efficient than purely physical methods.
Key Innovation: Hybrid Training
The most notable innovation in Vidar is its hybrid training approach. It blends just twenty minutes of physical-world data with vast amounts of AI-generated scenarios, making it up to one thousand two hundred times more data-efficient than comparable systems such as RDT or π0.5. This method preserves the unpredictability and realism found in everyday life while gaining the speed and flexibility of simulated environments. The result is a training system that allows robots to adapt more effectively to varied and unpredictable conditions.
Overcoming the Bottleneck in Physical AI
In robotics, training methods typically fall into two extremes. Full real-world training, like that used by Tesla Optimus or Boston Dynamics Atlas, offers unmatched realism but is slow, costly, and hardware-intensive. On the other hand, pure simulation is faster and cheaper but fails to capture the full complexity of physical-world scenarios. Vidar bridges this gap by offering a balanced method that combines real-world authenticity with the scalability and speed of AI-driven simulations.
Two-Stage Learning Pipeline
Vidar’s process is divided into two stages for maximum efficiency. In the perception stage, the system learns from large datasets of both general and embodied videos to build a strong understanding of objects, spaces, and environments. In the control stage, Vidar’s AnyPos model converts this scene understanding into precise motor commands, allowing it to guide various robot designs with minimal need for retraining. This flexibility makes the system adaptable to a wide range of robotic applications.
Real-World Applications and Benefits
Vidar’s hardware-agnostic design means it can train robots of different shapes, sizes, and purposes. Its potential uses span home assistance, eldercare, smart manufacturing, and even medical robotics. The system can adapt quickly to new environments, manage multiple tasks efficiently, and significantly cut both development time and costs. These benefits make it equally appealing to consumer, commercial, and industrial markets.
Vidu Legacy and Vidar’s Future
Vidar builds upon the success of the Vidu video foundation model, which attracted over ten million users in just three months and produced more than three hundred million videos. By extending Vidu’s deep visual understanding into the world of robotics, Vidar creates a direct link between AI perception and physical action.
Looking ahead, Vidar could enable humanoid robots to be trained in hours instead of weeks, marking a major step toward bringing capable consumer robots into everyday life. This advancement could become a defining force in making humanoid robots a practical reality for homes and industries alike.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra has built its reputation on impressive camera performance, but some One UI 8 Beta testers are seeing a strange issue when pointing it at the Moon. After the latest One UI 8 Beta 4 update, certain users have found their lunar shots coming out with a purple tint instead of the usual white or gray.
Posts on X and the brand’s community forum say the problem shows up at multiple zoom levels — 10x, 20x, 30x, and even 100x. Interestingly, users report that the photos look normal in the preview and on the camera screen, but the issue becomes apparent once viewed in the gallery app.
The phone’s 200MP main sensor and AI-powered Space Zoom appear to be misreading the Moon’s tones after recent tweaks to digital zoom clarity. Disabling Scene Optimizer hasn’t helped, leaving users who love testing the S25 Ultra’s zoom a bit annoyed. Interestingly, the issue wasn’t present in Beta 3.

Some testers say their shots still look fine, even at 100x, so it may not be happening on every device. Samsung hasn’t issued an official statement yet but a beta moderator on the community forum suggests users to submit error reports with logs via the Samsung Members app within 3 minutes of reproducing the bug. A fix is expected in a future beta or in the stable One UI 8 update, likely arriving in September alongside the Galaxy S25 FE.
What to try in the meantime
If you’re in the beta program and run into the purple Moon glitch, you can try turning off Scene Optimizer or tweaking intelligent optimization in the camera settings. With the software still in beta, quirks like this are to be expected — but given the S25 Ultra’s reputation for moon photography, Samsung will want this one fixed quickly.
