Brighter display and camera improvements: First update for Galaxy S24 announced
15.2.2024
Translation: machine translated
Samsung has announced the first software update for the Galaxy S24 series. All three models are to receive a "livelier" display and improvements for the camera. Samsung is also hinting at further innovations in the translation area.
Samsung plans to roll out the update to the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra in February. According to the manufacturer, the new features are in response to feedback from the first users of the new smartphones. However, the announcement is only specific to one particular innovation: the "vibrancy" of the colours can be adjusted in the display settings
New option for display colours
The new option is hidden deep in the settings. In the menu item "Display" there is the sub-item "Screen mode". Samsung offers two options here: vivid and natural. If "Vivid" is selected, there are "Advanced settings". After the update, you will find a three-stage slider for "Vividness", or the vibrancy of the display colours. According to Samsung, this gives the display a "more natural and customisable appearance".

Samsung promises further improvements for the camera. These should affect the zoom, portrait mode, night shots and videos. However, the manufacturer is not revealing exactly what will be optimised in each case. Either this information will follow when the update is ready or the big guesswork will begin after installation.
Samsung remains even more vague under the subheading "Communication without language barriers". It simply states that it is still pursuing the goal of offering limitless communication for everyone. However, whether this means new languages for the translation functions introduced with the S24 series or something else can only be speculated at present.
