Breaking: Samsung Galaxy S24 series is now getting its first update

Samsung is now rolling out the much-awaited first software update for the Galaxy S24 series. Thanks to a tip from Mishaal Rahman, we now know exactly what the update contains. But if you’re in the US, don’t go looking for that OTA just yet. The update is only rolling out in South Korea for now and is expected to hit devices in the US starting February 22.

Anyhow, there are a bunch of improvements in the 554MB Galaxy S24 series update, including those users had been asking for since the launch of the phones. It also brings the February security patch to the phones.

The update carries the new Vividness slider that lets users adjust the screen’s vividness to their liking. Samsung opted for more muted colors with the default Vivid color profile this time, but the new slider will let you dial up the colors to fix that washed-out look. You’ll find the slider in Settings > Display > Advanced settings when you receive the update.

Samsung also notes on its Korean community forums that the Galaxy S24 update carries several camera improvements. Some of these are limited to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but you should see improved image quality across the lineup. Below is a list of all the camera changes coming to the S24 series.
