Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung is reportedly bringing APV codec support for video recording on the Galaxy S26 series. Apple’s iPhone has traditionally been acclaimed as the leader in video recording. However, Samsung may now be gearing up to challenge that dominance by introducing new video recording formats and potentially dethroning the iPhone 17 Pro. In addition to support for lossless video recording, APV enables 12-bit color and upgrades to a richer 4:4:4 color sampling technique. Based on the icon, this mode might be geared toward recording videos while being in motion, similar to Apple’s Action mode.
