Samsung’s flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 series, is receiving a substantial camera update in various markets, with Europe being the latest region to receive the firmware. Initially introduced in select countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines last week, the update with firmware version S91xBXXU2AWF1 is now rolling out to Galaxy S23 users in Europe.
What’s new in this update?
This update, weighing approximately 2.2GB, primarily focuses on enhancing the camera capabilities and overall user experience. Some notable improvements include a 2X zoom option for portrait mode, autofocus issue fix, enhanced Night mode processing, smoother transition animations within the One UI, and subtle enhancements to haptic feedback.
Additionally, the update addresses HDR issues that were observed in certain lighting conditions while using the Camera app on the Galaxy S23 series. Furthermore, it appears that the update also resolves the “banana blur” issue, which caused blurry patches around the camera’s focal point.
Interestingly, reports suggest that Samsung is simultaneously working on a different firmware version specifically for China and South Korea, which is expected to offer further optimizations. However, it remains uncertain if this newer update will be released in Europe or other regions.
Regardless of the user’s location, Galaxy S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra owners can check for the availability of the AWF1 update by navigating to the Settings app on their devices, selecting “Software update,” and tapping on “Download and install.”
The Samsung Galaxy S23 series is a powerful lineup of smartphones, featuring top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processors and Android 13 with custom One UI 5.1. The S23 Ultra comes with an impressive 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display, up to 12GB RAM, up to 1TB of internal storage, and a 200-megapixel rear camera. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus sport high-resolution FHD+ displays, up to 8GB RAM, and up to 512GB storage, along with 50-megapixel primary rear cameras.
