What’s to come

First novelty listed, the mode Hyperlapsewhich as its name suggests focuses on timelapses, will now be usable with the telephoto lens. We also learn that Samsung is working on integrating a specific mode for timelapses of starry skies.

The QR code will also become easier to read. Indeed, the reading frame will expand and the reading speed should also gain.

In addition, if you point your camera at a document with a QR code, until now, the software could switch to document mode rather than QR Code reading, thus preventing its reading. The new version should better manage both uses simultaneously.

Moreover, if you had consciously or not prevented the reading of a QR Code, it was currently not possible to read it again. From now on, with a simple wave of the hand, its reading is again possible.

Samsung also promises better color and brightness management in night mode soon, but that will have to wait for a future update. Once the last one is installed on your devices, don’t hesitate to share your feelings about it.
