Samsung Galaxy S10 owners have some good news coming their way.
The Korean technology firm has just announced the release of a big new upgrade that brings new features and a major bump to the camera specs.
Reports had already surfaced about this Galaxy S10 update but things are now official with Samsung announcing the news on its website.
Once downloaded on Galaxy S10e, S10, S10+ and S10 5G devices, fans will notice that their smartphone’s pro-grade camera should become more powerful.
The update expands the clever Night Mode to include support for the front-facing camera which should improve your selfies at night.
Samsung has also introduces enhanced Super steady video stabilisation, as well as support for dynamic functions like AR Doodle and Live focus video recording.
The former lets users enhance their videos with fun, augmented-reality drawings and messages, while the latter lets them apply bokeh effects (including blur, big circle, colour point and glitch) to videos recorded with the front or rear camera.
Along with improving the actual camera, Samsung has also introduced better ways to edit content once it’s been snapped.
The updated Gallery app now features easy ways to turn videos into shareworthy clips with features such as simple tools for trimming clips, stitching them together, adjusting playback speed and more.
You can even use the function to add subtitles and background music to clips to make your content more unique.
It’s not just camera upgrades coming as the update also incorporates support for Samsung DeX for PC.
Once users download the app from SamsungDeX.com, they’ll be able to launch Samsung DeX on their PC or Mac simply by connecting their Galaxy S10 to their computer via USB cable. Link to Windows support has also been added, which means that Galaxy S10 users will be able to wirelessly connect their phone to their Windows 10 PC and easily view its contents, send and receive messages, and sync recent photos directly from their computer.
Apps that Galaxy S10 users rely on every day, including Samsung Pass and Messages, have also been made more versatile and convenient.
Now, Samsung Pass’s setup has been simplified, making it easier for Galaxy S10 users to utilize their device’s advanced biometric technologies to log in to apps and websites quickly and securely. In the Messages app, new icons for adding photos and videos have been positioned to the left of the text window to offer users easy access to the files they need.
