Samsung Galaxy S22 camera features are coming to older Galaxy phones with One UI 4.1
Last month, Samsung debutedOne UI 4.1on the Galaxy S22 series with some minor new additions and tweaks. Most of the improvements focused around the camera with features like an improved Pro mode, Night mode portraits, and enhanced Snapchat integration. Luckily for those on older devices, the Korean smartphone maker tends to bring many of the new features of its latest flagship phones to yesteryear’s models via a software update. Now, aforum post by a Samsung community moderatorhas detailed that many of One UI 4.1’s camera enhancements are coming to older Galaxy devices.
Most of the major Galaxy S22 camera improvements will be making their way to previous flagship Galaxy devices, including Night Portraits from the selfie and primary rear camera, pet support for Portrait mode, telephoto lens support in Pro mode, etc. Below is a list of the camera features coming to various Galaxy phones with One UI 4.1 (viaReddit):
While not mentioned, the Galaxy S21 references likely include support for the Plus and Ultra model, too. Additionally, the moderator reiterated that Samsung’sExpert RAW camera app is coming to more Galaxy phones.
The Samsung community moderator notes that the One UI 4.1 update for the Galaxy S21 update is due to start rolling out in South Korea from today, with older Galaxy flagships getting it in due course. However, the schedule has not been finalized, so there could be a slight delay.
Apart from the above improvements, Samsung is also working on bringing night portrait support to the telephoto lens, an improved auto-framing algorithm, and a ‘Detailed enhancement’ feature for the 50/108MP mode using AI. These features should make their way to selected phones with a future software update in the first half of the year.
