New

  • Snapdragon NPU support. On phones with a supported Snapdragon chip (such as the 7 Gen 1, 8 Gen 1 and newer, up to the 8 Elite), Smart Search and text reading now run on the phone's NPU. Lumen checks that the NPU gives the right results first, and uses the GPU or CPU if it does not:

    • Indexing photos for Smart Search is about 3× faster than on the GPU, and about 9× faster than on the CPU.
    • Finding text in photos is about 2× faster.
    • The Accurate search model is a smaller download on these phones: 483 MB instead of 666 MB.
    • If you already downloaded it, Lumen gets the NPU version on Wi-Fi, and then deletes the old file. This saves about 180 MB.
    • Settings, then Smart Search now shows what each model runs on (NPU, GPU or CPU).
    • Snapdragon 888 and 888+ are not supported. Phones without a supported NPU work as before.

  • New face recognition. Lumen now groups faces with much better models:

    • Accurate runs on the NPU of supported Snapdragon phones. It recognizes people in sunglasses, helmets and caps, from the side and with strong expressions.
    • Fast works on every phone. It is better and 2× faster than the old model.
    • People are split into fewer groups, and blurry or dark faces no longer join the wrong person.
    • To choose a model, go to Settings, then Smart Search, then Faces, then Recognition. Accurate needs a supported NPU.

  • Faces without a name in the info panel. When you swipe up on a photo, faces that Lumen did not put with a person now show with Add Name.

When you update

If Lumen already found faces on your phone, it looks at them again with the new model:

  • On phones with a supported NPU, Lumen asks first. "Update" downloads Accurate (about 133 MB). "Not Now" button downloads Fast (15 MB).
  • On other phones, Lumen gets Fast on Wi-Fi without asking.
  • People you named or hid stay as they are. All other faces are grouped again.

Fixed

  • Crash when you took a screenshot in the viewer. Lumen closed if a new photo arrived while a photo was open. This is fixed.

Changed

  • Smaller downloads. The APKs are smaller: 60 MB instead of 73 MB for most phones.
