    Galaxy S20 gets another huge update to improve camera performance

    Firmware

    After releasing the March 2021 security patch to the Galaxy S20 series last week, Samsung is ready with another update for its last year's flagship smartphones. The company started rolling out a huge software update to the Galaxy S20 series earlier today, and the update aims to improve the camera performance of the smartphones.

    The Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and the Galaxy S20 Ultra are currently receiving the new software update in Germany. The latest update for the three phones, which carries firmware version G98xxXXU7DUC7, is around 500MB in size, so we recommend using a Wi-Fi network to download it.

    Samsung has mentioned in the changelog that the update improves the camera performance. While we don't see any new features after installing the update, it is possible that it improves the image processing, stability, or performance of the camera. As usual, the update also includes other bug fixes, device stability and performance improvements.

    If you are in Germany and haven't received this update on your Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, or Galaxy S20 Ultra, you can check for it manually by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the entire firmware from our firmware section and flash it manually. We expect the new update to reach other markets over the next few days.
