Samsung Galaxy S23 update changelog

As reported by SamMobile, the update for Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra with firmware version S91xBXXU2AWF1 is currently rolling out for handsets in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. The update brings the June 2023 Android security patch and is said to add a new 2x zoom option in the camera app's Portrait mode apart from the general bug fixes and One UI improvements.

The update is 2.2GB in size and purportedly addresses autofocus issues and makes changes to the Night mode feature. The Galaxy S23 series models are getting subtle improvements in haptics as well. The update is expected to include fixes for the camera blur issue that was acknowledged by the company earlier this month.

As per the report, the update should arrive automatically over the air to eligible Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra units. However, users in the above-mentioned regions can manually check for the update by heading to Settings > Software update > Download and Install. Users are advised to update their phones while they are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network and a charger. It is expected to arrive in more regions in the coming days.

The Galaxy S23 was launched in India in February during the Galaxy Unpacked event with a starting price tag of Rs. 74,999 for the base 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. They are powered by a customised version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and sport Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. On the front, the handsets feature Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

Samsung's Galaxy S23 series of smartphones was launched earlier this week and the South Korean firm's high-end handsets have seen a few upgrades across all three models.
