long story short
- A camera update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra is overdue as users complain of a variety of issues, including focus issues and yellowing of images.
- According to reports, Samsung’s March update may not improve the camera, but the April update may be a “major camera update” that improves white balance and telephoto image quality.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has been well received around the world. Many reviewers and users alike praised the phones, but many also recognized that there was room for improvement, especially with the cameras on the devices. If you’re waiting for a camera update to fix the issues you’re experiencing on the S24 Ultra, you may want to wait a little longer.
According to the leaker ice universe, Samsung is working on two updates for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The March update is said to add an “underage” mode and some (unspecified) optimizations, but there won’t be any major updates to the camera itself. However, users can look forward to the April update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is said to improve white balance and telephoto image quality.
Samsung last month promised an update that would include improvements to the camera, such as upgrading the device’s zoom capabilities, portrait mode, night scenes, rear camera video shooting capabilities, and more. However, the update being rolled out doesn’t specifically mention these changes in the changelog.
While it’s hard to please everyone because people have different expectations, there are enough complaints and feedback to suggest that the Galaxy S24 series is in dire need of some camera improvements. Other phones have long eclipsed Samsung for the best smartphone camera crown, and Samsung has struggled to do so by relying on the versatility of its camera setup. However, with complaints piling up and no improvement in sight, it may not be able to maintain consumer confidence in the long term.
