Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra is set to receive a new software update soon which will bring improvements to several camera features, a tipster has claimed. Since the smartphone’s launch in January, buyers have reported a number of issues, including shutter lag and motion blur plaguing the camera. While Samsung has rolled out several One UI updates for the handset since then – the most notable of which arrived in April – which boasted improvements to the user experience, there’s no official word on the camera fixes, but that should change soon.
Samsung Galaxy S24 camera update
In a after On X (formerly Twitter), tipster Ice Universe has claimed that Samsung will soon begin rolling out the August update for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is tipped to bring fixes for issues related to white balance optimization, HDR optimization, image overprocessing, and video zoom.

However, it will not feature optimization for telephoto and night mode images captured above 10x optical zoom, the tipster said. This is due to an issue that causes photos taken at 9.9x magnification to look better compared to photos taken at 10x magnification that contain more noise.
The update was first hinted at by the same tipster back in May, with claims that the One UI 6.1. 1 update for the Galaxy S24 Ultra would bring camera improvements. At the time, it was suggested that the update was still in early stages and would be undergoing testing before being rolled out to the public. Notably, speculation has it that Samsung will introduce the update alongside its Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 smartphones, scheduled to launch during the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10.
Other updates
Over the past few months, Samsung has introduced features powered by Galaxy AI – its suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features – to other smartphones as well. These include Circle to Search, Live Call Translate, Chat Assist, Note Assist and Generative Edit. Not all of them have made their way to Samsung’s older devices, possibly due to hardware limitations.
