Software updates are able to do a lot to improve how a phone’s camera performs. It can also bring new features that didn’t originally ship with the phone. Samsung‘s Galaxy S10 series is the recipient of a new update that greatly ups the camera performance.
The new update which is already rolling out in Switzerland fixes the Night Mode of the phones. Noise has been reduced and the duration the shutter stays open has been increased. The biggest upgrade is the ability to take pictures in night mode using the ultra-wide angle camera. You get brighter images in this mode than the regular night mode but there is more noise. SamMobile has camera samples you can view.
Another new feature is the ability to take Live Focus photos with the ultra-wide lens or telephoto lens on the S10 and S10+. This feature was originally only available to the Galaxy S10 5G. With the option to use the telephoto lens, you can now take bokeh photos without moving closer to the subject.

The update not only brings camera features but also brings May’s security patch. It is a little behind the Pixels and the Essential PH-1 but its more recent than the security patch on the OnePlus 7 Pro whose latest update brings April’s security patch.
The update is rolling out gradually and should arrive in other regions in the days or weeks at most.
