Samsung has begun distributing the April update for the Galaxy S24 series.

Firmware version S928NKSU1AXCA, as the update is officially named, is very heavy at 797.83 MB and brings improvements in several areas, according to a post on the Samsung Korea forum. These include low-light images, image color in the ExpertRAW app, improved text clarity when zoomed in Photo mode, and support for 480 x 480 resolution in Instant Slow-Mo.

The update is only available in South Korea at this time, but Samsung is expected to release it in other countries within a few days.

This all builds on Samsung's February update for the Galaxy S24, which included patches for better zoom, portrait mode, night mode and rear camera video capture capabilities. However, that update was primarily focused on resolving issues with the phone's vivid display mode.

When Samsung revealed details of the Galaxy S24's camera, there were complaints that developers had cut corners on the phone's camera hardware, as the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S23 cameras were almost identical. However, Samsung added several new processing and editing features through Galaxy AI, the headline update to the S24 series.

Galaxy AI provides a wealth of editing and upscaling options for the Galaxy S24 series. For example, users can easily clean up and enlarge photos using the Magic Edit tool.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is currently the second best camera phone of 2024, but lost to Apple's flagship in the iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Galaxy S24 Ultra camera duel. However, Samsung is clearly not standing still and these upgrades could make a big difference. We'll be sure to test them and report back when updates become available.
