Samsung‘s Galaxy S24 Ultra may get a major new update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra next month. A reliable industry insider claims the new flagship will receive huge camera improvements in August. The update may also bring new AI features from One UI 6.1.1. The other two Galaxy S24 models should also pick up a similar update.
Galaxy S24 Ultra to get major camera update in August
The Galaxy S24 series, particularly the Ultra model, has excellent cameras. The new Samsung flagships produce amazing photos and videos in every shooting condition. However, users have reported pesky processing issues affecting the image quality. Samsung has already released a couple of camera updates for the phones, but there is still room for improvement.
There have been rumors about the Galaxy S24 trio getting another big camera update in June, but that didn’t happen. It appears the July update won’t bring anything either. However, the August update for the phones may be a big one, if tipster Ice Universe is accurate. They took to X to share some insider information about the upcoming software release.
According to them, the August update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra will bring white balance, over-processing, overexposure, HDR, video zoom, and facial feature improvements. The tipster also shared a few camera samples comparing the image quality before and after the update. However, they quickly deleted the photos, possibly because those samples weren’t supposed to be posted online.
Nonetheless, we saw those samples on X and could notice obvious improvements in some areas. The upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra update may be the biggest yet. The tipster says the software build they shared samples from doesn’t contain zoom and night mode improvements beyond 10X magnification, one of the major issues users have reported. Hopefully, Samsung will fix things before the rollout.
AI features from One UI 6.1.1 may also be part of the package
Samsung will introduce One UI 6.1.1 with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 later this week. While the Galaxy S24 series won’t get the new One UI version, the new AI features are expected to trickle down to the flagship lineup. It’s unclear whether the company will bundle those with the camera fixes or if it will roll out a separate update later. Expect more details in the coming weeks as Samsung prepares to unveil the new foldables. The launch event is scheduled for this Wednesday, July 10.
