A couple of weeks back, Samsung released a massive new camera update for the Galaxy S23 series in its homeland of South Korea. The update has since reached users in other parts of Asia as well as in Europe and Africa. It has now reached the US as well. Both carrier-locked and unlocked variants of the latest Samsung flagships are picking up the big update stateside, complete with the April security patch.
This update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with the firmware build numbers S91*USQU1AWC8 and S91*U1UEU1AWC8 for carrier-locked and unlocked units, respectively. Samsung’s changelog doesn’t mention anything apart from the latest security patch. However, the phones are receiving a plethora of goodies here. The Korean firm has already announced several new camera-related changes and improvements.
For starters, the Galaxy S23 lineup is getting an autofocus speed priority feature that lets you capture photos even if the frame is not in focus completely. This is to ensure that you don’t miss any moment. If you have ample time, you can wait until the frame is fully in focus before capturing. Samsung gives you the option to disable this feature, while the Camera Assistant app adds further controls over focus priority.
The Galaxy S23 phones are also getting improvements for low-light videos from the ultrawide camera. Samsung says the footage should contain lesser flickering than before.
The stabilization of Full HD videos captured at 60fps with Auto FPS turned off has been improved too. If you’re shooting the night sky in high-resolution mode (50MP or 200MP), you should now get sharper footage with no line-shaped banding noise or intermittent blurring. The occasional green line appearing on the camera viewfinder is gone too. Additionally, Samsung has improved the quality of low-light photos captured without enabling the Night mode. It has also fixed face recognition bugs and improved your Gallery experience.
The Galaxy S23 series is also getting the April security update in the US
Along with all of these goodies, the latest update for the Galaxy S23 series in the US also brings this month’s security patch. The new SMR (Security Maintenance Release) contains patches for more than 70 vulnerabilities, including a handful of critical ones. If you’re using the new Samsung flagships in the US, all of these new features, improvements, and security enhancements should be available to you shortly. You can check for updates from the Settings app.
