Samsung delays fix for Galaxy S24 camera post processing issues in 50MP mode

Some Samsung Galaxy S24 series users have voiced frustrations over persistent camera problems since the phone’s launch, and the tech giant has finally addressed these concerns. A multitude of complaints have flooded Samsung community forums and Reddit, detailing issues such as loss of detail in 50MP and 200MP modes, color shifts, over-processing, and inconsistent image quality compared to the 12MP mode.

Users have expressed disappointment with the camera’s performance, especially in low-light conditions and when using the zoom function. The discrepancies in quality between different modes have led some to question the value of the high-resolution sensors if they don’t consistently produce superior results.

Users on various forums have shared their experiences, detailing how photos taken with the 50MP and 200MP cameras often lack detail, exhibit color shifts, and suffer from overprocessing. Below are the key issues.

1. Loss of detail in high-resolution modes: Many users have noticed that the 50MP and 200MP photos lack the clarity and detail expected from such high-resolution sensors. In contrast, the 12MP mode often produces sharper and more natural-looking images.

2. Color shifts: Several users reported significant color shifts when using the 50MP and 200MP modes, making the photos look less true to life compared to the 12MP mode.

3. Overprocessing: There is widespread concern about Samsung’s post-processing, which many users feel ruins the original photo quality. This includes unwanted enhancements in contrast and saturation, particularly frustrating for those who prefer a more natural look.

4. Adaptive Pixel issues: Users noted that the adaptive pixel setting might be contributing to these problems, with the camera not always using the correct sensor, especially in low light conditions.

5. Delayed software updates: Despite numerous complaints and feedback, users feel that Samsung has been slow in addressing these issues. Several users have expressed their disappointment over the lack of timely updates to fix these critical camera problems.

In response to the growing discontent, a Samsung moderator on the Korean community forum has confirmed that the company is actively working on a software update to address these camera issues. The update, initially expected in June, has been delayed due to the need for further optimization and stabilization.

While the exact release date for the update remains uncertain, the moderator assured users that Samsung is committed to delivering a satisfactory user experience and will announce the schedule as soon as it is confirmed.

This news brings a glimmer of hope for Galaxy S24 users who have been eagerly awaiting a solution to the camera woes. The upcoming update is expected to tackle the problems with adaptive pixels, high-resolution image processing, and overall image quality. However, renowned Samsung tipster Ice Universe claims Samsung may not bring new telephoto improvements.

It is very likely that Samsung will not continue to optimize the telephoto camera of Galaxy S24 Ultra. So far, the Test version updated in August has not improved. Please prepare for the worst.

In the meantime, users are advised to experiment with different settings, such as turning off adaptive pixel mode, to potentially improve their camera experience.

Keep an eye on further updates on the release date and details of this camera update. Samsung Galaxy S24 users can rest assured that the company is aware of their concerns and is working diligently to resolve them.
