At first glance, the news about the upcoming update of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is not so exciting. Finally, although the South Korean manufacturer’s foldables are the most successful compared to the foldable competition, bye and large foldables still make up a very small share of the smartphone market (and it’s not sure when that will change).
Has now been reported Sammobile About the firmware version F926BXXS1CVEE For the Galaxy Z Fold 3, which comes with the latest security patches from June 2022 and closes a total of 66 security and privacy loopholes. It’s not unimportant, but the camera improvements are even more exciting.
For example, the Night Portrait mode has been improved and the telephoto camera can eventually be used in the Pro mode of the Native Camera app. In addition, the auto-framing feature of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 makes it foldable, so you can always get the best photo details in a video call.
Better image quality in third party apps
In my opinion, the more exciting fact is that Samsung is said to have significantly improved the image quality of photos not taken with the normal camera app. Compared to the iPhone, Android smartphones have a significant disadvantage. While iOS apps can directly access the camera app interface and take photos without compromising quality, Android apps only get access to a viewfinder preview – and can take a screenshot of it. It does not lead to high quality results.
On Android, there has been little improvement in the camera in third-party apps. Perhaps the most prominent news was that with the Pixel 6, Night Mode could be used for photos directly on Snapchat – yes? However, Samsung may find a wider approach for more applications.
It remains to be seen whether the functionality will be limited to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. However, it is highly likely that other smartphones from the manufacturer, such as the S22 model, will also benefit from it in the future.
