SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung is finally pushing out the highly anticipated first software update for its Galaxy S24 series. The update, currently only available in South Korea, is expected to reach devices in the US starting February 22, according to a recent report by Mishaal Rahman.
The 554MB update comes with several improvements, including camera enhancements that users have been eagerly anticipating. Additionally, the update includes the February security patch for the phones.
One of the key features of this update is the new Vividness slider, which allows users to adjust the screen’s vividness to their preference. With the default Vivid color profile offering more muted colors this time, the new slider will enable users to enhance the colors to avoid a washed-out look. Once users receive the update, they can find the slider in Settings > Display > Advanced settings.
Samsung has also highlighted that the Galaxy S24 update brings a range of camera improvements. While some of these enhancements are exclusive to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, users across the lineup can expect better image quality. These improvements include adjustments to brightness when shooting backlit in high-pixel mode, improved clarity of text when using high-magnification zoom, and enhanced picture quality when recording rear video.
Other notable camera improvements in the update include increased brightness of dark areas in indoor environments, improved color data application in food mode, and enhanced saturation and white balance in night mode. The update also introduces the option to adjust the sharpness in the “Screen Mode” of the display settings to enjoy more vivid colors.
With the debut of the first software update for the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung aims to address user feedback and further enhance the overall experience of its flagship phones. As the update rolls out in South Korea and prepares to reach the US, Galaxy S24 users can anticipate a host of improvements to their devices.
