Samsung's Galaxy AI Tracker Improves Z Fold 8 Video Framing, but 9:16 Crops Can Pixelate

Summary
Samsung's My FanCam on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 let a reviewer turn shaky crowd footage into subject-tracking clips, with AI following a selected person after recording.
In the Gallery app, the tool scans a finished video, identifies people in frame, then exports a new clip in formats including 9:16, 1:1 and 3:4.
Processing took only seconds in the reviewer's tests, and the feature also worked on older videos already stored in the phone's gallery.
The main drawback was image quality: heavy crop-and-zoom on distant subjects could look pixelated, especially with the regular Z Fold 8's less-sharp cameras.
That limitation also points to Samsung's next step—adding AI sharpening or bringing the feature to higher-end phones with better camera hardware.
