Samsung was expected to release a big camera update for the Galaxy S23 series in March end, and it’s here. The update started rolling out in the company’s home country South Korea earlier today. It should reach global markets, including the US, in the next few days.
The Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra are getting a host of camera-related changes and improvements with this update. In a community post in South Korea, Samsung announced that pressing the shutter button will now take photos even if the frame is not in focus completely. Photos may sometimes come out partly or fully blurry, but this behavior ensures you don’t lose the perfect moment waiting for autofocus to be ready. If you don’t like this behavior, you can change it from the Camera Assistant app.
Low-light videos from the ultrawide camera on the Galaxy S23 phones will reduce flickering after this update. Samsung has also improved the stabilization of Full HD videos captured at 60fps when Auto FPS is turned off. When shooting the night sky in high-resolution mode (50MP or 200MP), you should no longer see a line-shaped banding noise. Intermittent blurring and sharpness of footage have been improved too. Some Galaxy S23 users reported occasionally seeing a green line when using the rear camera. Samsung has fixed that issue as well.
Elsewhere, you can now delete photos from the Gallery app immediately after capturing them, even if the system is still processing them. This update also fixes a problem where face recognition didn’t work properly for some time after ending a third-party video call. Last but not least, Samsung has improved the image quality of low-light photos captured without enabling the Night mode. You can see the full changelog in Samsung’s official community post here (translated from Korean).
This Galaxy S23 camera update is already rolling out
As said earlier, Samsung has already started pushing this camera update to Galaxy S23 users. It was rolled out to users in South Korea earlier today with the firmware build number S91*NKSU1AWC8. A screenshot shared by @Tech_Reve on Twitter shows the OTA (over the air) package weighs more than 922MB for the Ultra model. It should be a similar-sized OTA package for the vanilla Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ as well.
Along with all of those goodies, the Galaxy S23 series is also getting a new security patch with this update. Samsung is pushing the April 2023 SMR (Security Maintenance Release) to the latest Galaxy flagships. April isn’t here yet, so we will have to wait a few more days to know the details about vulnerabilities patched with the new security release. The April security update will soon reach more Galaxy devices. We will keep you posted on those updates.
