Samsung recently revealed that it is readying a new update for the Galaxy S24 series to address camera zoom issues. It appears the said update will bring more camera fixes and enhancements. According to noted tipster Ice Universe, the company will push a major camera update to the new flagships in April.
Galaxy S24 may get its second major camera update next month
Samsung released the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra at the end of January. The phones picked up a major update in February. The company optimized the camera algorithm to improve the image quality. We have noticed some improvements but there is still plenty of work to be done. Samsung was expected to further optimize the camera performance in March but it only pushed the latest security patch this month.
A few days ago, it acknowledged image quality issues at certain zoom levels on the Galaxy S24 Ultra and promised a fix. The firm didn’t reveal when the update will arrive, but an April release seems logical. Ice Universe has now chipped in saying that the April update for the new Ultra flagship will be a major one. It will improve the white balance and zoom image quality, among other camera fixes and improvements.
While we don’t have more details, we can confirm that Galaxy S24 phones struggle to produce accurate white balance in photos. We have already discussed the image quality issue when zooming. These are common problems across all three models. As such, the entire lineup should get the said “major camera update” next month. The update may also bring other functional and stability improvements to the new Samsung flagships.
The X post by Ice Universe adds that the March update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra “will add an underage mode and some optimizations.” As we said above, Samsung has already released the March update for the new flagships and it only brought the latest camera fixes. However, the update isn’t yet available in China, which is where the tipster is located. They may be referring to the March update for the Galaxy S24 in their home country.
Samsung’s new flagships are selling well globally
The Galaxy S24 series may have some camera issues but those seemingly haven’t affected this sales. The new Samsung flagships are selling well globally, better than the Galaxy S23. In some regions, sales have reached a new high after several years. The Korean firm plans to sell more than 35 million units of the three models combined this year. Whether it hits the target, only time will tell.
