The Galaxy S22 series launched with several camera enhancements in their tool bags, now Samsung has announced that it is returning to transfer some of them to select the Galaxy S, Note and Z flagships. This has been posted on South Korean forums since the updates will be rolled out first in the house.
Note that some enhancements are only available on certain models, the breakdown is below.
Improved Night Portraits: Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Note20 series, Z Fold 2, Z Fold3.
The “Nightography” processing of the S22 series allows you to use the telephoto lens in Portrait mode for night photography.
The telephoto lens can now also perform Portrait mode in the dark
Improved / added auto framing function: Galaxy S21 + S21 FE series, Z Flip 4G / 5G, Z Fold2, Z Fold3.
This function zooms in and out and pans to keep up to 10 people in the frame (standing up to 5m away). This was already available on the foldables, but Samsung has fine-tuned the performance. This is new to the S21 models.
Activation / deactivation of the automatic framing function
Improved Effects for Video Calls: Galaxy S20 + S20 FE series, Galaxy Note20 series, Galaxy S21 + S21 FE series, Z Flip 4G / 5G, Z Flip3, Z Fold2, Z Fold3.
Note: Support for Galaxy S10 + S10 Lite, Galaxy Note10 + Note10 Lite coming in the first half of 2022.
This feature works with third-party apps and adds background replacement and microphone controls to your call. Supported apps are: Duo, Google Meet, Knox Meeting, Messenger (Meta), Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Zoom, BlueJeans, Webex Meetings, KakaoTalk.
Auto framing effects for video calls: Galaxy S21 + S21 FE series, Z Flip 4G / 5G, Z Fold2, Z Fold3.
In addition to the above, some phones can also activate the auto framing function during video calls. This really is the best use case, since you are free to move and don’t have to worry about re-adjusting the shot.
Auto framing and other effects are also available for video calling apps
Improved camera quality for third party apps: Samsung Galaxy series S21 + S21 FE, Z Flip3, Z Fold3.
The Galaxy S22 series has added support for advanced camera processing features in Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. It is now also available on previous models.
Improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold3
The Z Fold3 will get support for the Expert RAW app, which will be available for download from the Galaxy Store starting this month. Additionally, the main camera app’s Pro mode now works with telephoto as well.
These updates are coming to Korea, but should be available globally, so be sure to check the change log for the next update you will receive.
