Galaxy S9 Android Pie update will bring Scene Optimizer camera mode
The Pie update will bring the Galaxy Note 9’s Scene Optimizer feature to the Galaxy S9, as revealed by the leaked Galaxy S9 Android Pie firmware. Scene Optimizer helps make some subjects and scenes more vivid by having the camera automatically adjust the color settings. The Galaxy A7 (2018) also has Scene Optimizer, and the Galaxy S9 will have it as well once the Pie update comes out.
Galaxy S9 Scene Optimizer to be dedicated camera mode
The Galaxy S9 will get Scene Optimizer as a dedicated camera mode, like the Galaxy A7. On the Galaxy Note 9, it’s an option in the camera settings that can either be turned on or off. The Galaxy Note 9 Pie update should also change it into a camera mode, though. Samsung also introduced Scene Optimizer to the Galaxy A8 Star as part of a software update recently, so it’s possible the company will bring the feature to the Galaxy S9 and other devices before the Pie update. However, with Android Pie, we can expect it to become a standard feature on many Samsung devices.
In case you missed it, an early Pie build for the Galaxy Note 9 was leaked recently, giving us yet another look at the Samsung Experience 10 UX. Samsung France also posted some of the changes Pie would bring to the company’s smartphones; it also suggested the update could start rolling out in January 2019, although nothing is set in stone just yet.

If it comes to S9, it will come to Note8 too. I sold my Note8 to a friend when I got Note9. She will be happy to see this.
Might not, actually, even when Samsung brings such features to its mid-range, it;s usually devices from the same year/recent devices that have that version of Android out of the box.
Why does it need Android P for this feature? I hope this feature together with selfie focus come to Note 8 and even S8/ S8plus too. It’s annoying to see cheaper mid range phones like the A7 2018 have them and Samsung forgetting about its still more expensive last year’s flagships.
Yeah, it’s possible it will come before Pie, but that may just be something Samsung is doing for mid-range devices because it knows the mid-range ones will get Pie many months after the flagships. 😛
It’s unacceptable in both cases anyway. Instead of wasting time producing and releasing soooooooo many unnecessary mid range and low end phones that are very similar it should focus more on updating and better support the ones it has already on the market be it its flagships or mid range phones followed by the low end. Samsung has just given us (Note 8 and S8/S8 plus users) two of the features most people don’t really care about and far less useful (super slow motion and the stupid AR emojis) than the two I mentioned before, why? I really hope I… Read more »
