Samsung Galaxy S24 August 2024 security update live in Korea
Samsung has pushed the August 2024 security update for Galaxy S24 series smartphones in Korea, following Europe and the US. This update brings the latest Android security patch to improve system security and stability.
August 2024 security update for Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra users in Korea can be verified through One UI build versions S921NKSS3AXGJ, S926NKSS3AXGJ, and S928NKSS3AXGJ respectively.
The fresh security patch fixes a bunch of issues to provide a better Galaxy experience. It includes 1 critical and 34 high levels of CVEs for the Android operating system.
Moreover, the update contains 14 Samsung-specific patches, which improve the security and performance of system services, Knox services, Galaxy Watch, and more. Not only this, it also fixes 1 high-level Samsung Semiconductor issue.
Users can check the new software update manually with a handful of simple steps. Firstly, visit your Galaxy device’s “System Settings,” once done, scroll down and tap the “Software update” tab, followed by the “Download and install” button.
Previous reports indicated that Samsung was working on a new update to improve the camera performance for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, due to delays in development and testing, this camera improvement update has not yet been released. Users will have to wait a bit longer for camera enhancements.
Also, Samsung is working on a major software update based on One UI 6.1 for Galaxy S24. It is expected to bring One UI 6.1.1 features and enhancements. Notably, the new update will be released in August 2024.
Samsung Galaxy S24’s One UI 6.1.1-based August update is delayed
Samsung has reportedly pulled the Galaxy S23’s One UI 6.1.1 rollout. Starting September 12, the company pushed the new One UI update to its older flagships. However, a weird camera glitch seemingly forced to halt the rollout.
It looks like Samsung stopped Galaxy S23’s One UI 6.1.1 distribution. Earlier, the lineup started getting the update in Europe, India, and other markets. There is a weird flaw in the S23’s camera zoom function, which is suspected as the reason.
Users report the bug causing ghosting in photos captured at zoom levels between 16x and 19.9x. Surprisingly, the native camera app is only affected; you can capture accurate images through the Expert RAW app.
This issue doesn’t affect any other phones, so only the rollout for the S23 Ultra was halted. It was recently reported that the company has acknowledged the issue and working on incremental firmware to address the glitch.
Consumers who have installed One UI 6.1.1 will receive an incremental update. Other users who missed installing the release will get the update with the camera fix included. We hope the rollout will continue in a short period of delay.
Temporary Fix:
Open your Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera settings and head towards the Intelligent Optimization function. Switch the current setting to Medium quality, which would make things better. Using the Expert RAW is also an option to avoid the glitch.
