Samsung has released the first software update for its flagship Galaxy S24 series, which brings new display and camera options to the users. The update, which is rolling out this month, allows users to customize the display settings and improve the camera performance of the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra.
Customizable display settings
One of the main features of the update is the ability to adjust the RGB (red, green, blue) white balance and the vividness (saturation) of the display. This is in response to some user feedback that the Galaxy S24 displays were less saturated and vibrant than previous models. Samsung said that this was intentional, as the company had chosen to focus on a more natural and accurate look for its displays.
However, some users may prefer a more colorful and vivid display, so Samsung has added a new option under the display advanced settings, where users can tweak the display settings to their liking. Users can also choose from four preset modes: natural, vivid, adaptive, and cinema.
Optimized camera functions
The update also brings some enhancements to the camera functions of the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung said that the update includes “further optimization of key camera functions” and “upgrades to the device’s zoom functions, portrait mode, nightography, rear camera video shooting and more.”
Samsung did not provide much details on what exactly these improvements are, but some users have reported that the update improves the autofocus, the image quality, and the stability of the camera. The update also fixes some bugs and glitches that affected the camera performance.

Communication without language barriers
Another feature that Samsung highlighted in the update is the communication without language barriers. Samsung said that it aims to provide barrier-free communication for all, and that it is committed to listening to the users and evolving the Galaxy technology.
One of the ways that Samsung is doing this is by using the AI capabilities of the Galaxy S24 series to provide real-time translation and transcription features. Users can use the Live Translate app to translate text, speech, and images in over 80 languages. Users can also use the Live Caption feature to generate captions for any audio or video content on their device.

A promising start for the Galaxy S24 series
The first update for the Galaxy S24 series is a promising start for Samsung’s latest flagship devices, which were launched in January 2024. The Galaxy S24 series features a powerful Snapdragon 895 processor, a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 5,000 mAh battery, and a 50MP main camera. The Galaxy S24 series also supports 7 years of Android updates, which is unprecedented for any Android device.
The update is expected to roll out to all Galaxy S24 users in the coming weeks, depending on the region and the carrier. Users can check for the update manually by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install.
