One UI 5.1

On February 1, Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series smartphones that brought the One UI 5.1 firmware out of the box. This new One UI version is an improved variant of Samsung’s first Android 13 skin and offers select new features from the S23 to older models.

What’s new with One UI 5.1?

Similar to the One UI 5.0, Samsung’s new One UI 5.1 version is also based on the Android 13 operating system. Ahead of major switch like Android 14, the company is offering select new features from its topmost flagship lineup to older models such as the Galaxy S and Z.

Changes of One UI 5.1 firmware include a handful of new features including enhancements to the Camera and Gallery apps with the ability to remaster and fine-tune photos saved on your phone. It also brings the ability to access the Expert RAW camera app directly from the stock Camera app.

Last but not least, One UI 5.1 is packed with battery status widgets for the home screen along with a Spotify suggestions option and Settings quick panels. Earlier, the leaked One UI 5.1 changelog listed plenty of new features in detail, which you can check here.

The company has not launched the Enterprise Edition of the Galaxy S23 Plus, hence consumers have two choices between the Standard and Ultra. The devices come integrated with both Microsoft and Google cloud productivity tools, making working from anywhere simple.

Galaxy S23’s enterprise-focused features, such as Samsung DeX, enable users to connect the device to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for a desktop-like experience. And the S23 Ultra’s massive 12GB RAM and 512 GB of storage enable users to store more video, files, and apps for productivity.

Pay attention, the Galaxy S23 Enterprise Edition also comes equipped with a one-year subscription to Samsung Knox Suite, its built-in security platform that helps provide multi-layered protection against malware, hacking, and other cyber threats.

Timely software updates and support ensure users receive critical OS updates and patches for up to five years, with options for remote support. A two-year availability assurance post-launch allows businesses’ IT teams to test, use and maintain consistency across teams.

Along with the iconic S Pen, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s large 6.8-inch display and 45-watt super fast charging makes it ideal for multitasking and efficiency. The pro-grade 200-megapixel adaptive pixel sensor enables incredible photography and its sophisticated design makes a statement with an eye-catching glass-metal design.

“Businesses need devices that are not only powerful and secure but also easy to use and manage,” said Garry McGregor, Vice President, Mobile Experience Division, Samsung Electronics Australia.

Users of both non-Ultra Galaxy S23 devices complain that whenever they capture images using the primary camera, the focussed part looks sharp, while the edges and sides get blurred. Also, it has been reported that the affected models are manufactured in Vietnam.

Seeing complaints by Galaxy S23 users, some Galaxy S22 users said that this problem also exists on their models, however, they have not reported it at that time. However, we suggest you reach out to the authorized Samsung support center and send it for repair if they identify the issue.

Well-known tipster IceUniverse recently revealed that at the end of March 2023, Samsung will release a big camera firmware update for the Galaxy S23 series. Since the devices would celebrate their second monthly birthday on April 1st, Samsung appears to be fixing the emerging problems.

If it is a hardware defect, sending your Samsung phone for repair is the only solution left. Meanwhile, we believe that the company will fix the problem with the next firmware update. Until then, you can continue rocking with your phone using the manual focus feature before hitting the shutter button.

Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus Camera

The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus bring triple rear cameras including a 50-megapixel (F1.8) wide-angle sensor, a 12-megapixel (F2.2) ultrawide, and a 10-megapixel (F2.4) telephoto. The telephoto camera is capable of 3x optical zoom as well as up to 30x digital zoom.

• Galaxy S23+
• Galaxy S23 Ultra
• Galaxy Z Fold4
• Galaxy Z Flip4
• Galaxy A23 5G
• Galaxy A14 5G
• Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro

What does it mean for a device to be supported?

Google says ARCore certification is crucial as it wants users to have a good experience with AR apps. This is primarily related to sensitive motion tracking, which is done by combining the camera image and the motion sensor input to determine how the user’s device moves through the real world.

In order to certify a device, Google checks the quality of the camera, motion sensors, and design architecture to ensure it performs as expected. Moreover, the smartphone requires to have a powerful enough CPU that integrates with the hardware design to ensure good performance and effective real-time calculations.

Notably, the US tech giant is continuously working with Android vendors to ensure their hardware and designs meet these requirements. Besides, it is working internally to make sure ARCore integrates well with every certified model to provide good experiences for users.

1. Critical – 5
2. High – 35

The community moderator has told that the Jump short feature for Single Take mode is only available for the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra users. However, the mod didn’t reveal whether older Galaxy devices would support it in the future.

Single Take Jump Shot:

It’s very difficult to capture the peak moment of a jump action, especially at 1-2 seconds, so many people try to jump multiple times to get a great jump shot. Meanwhile, the Single-take jump shots feature ensures accurate results at the tap of a button.

With the help of an AI engine, you can easily capture the moment. During filming, the AI engine discriminates between jump moments in real time and does a great job of identifying which shots are high and which are jumps.

Single Take provides a variety of jump results that will surprise you with a single shot. Your Samsung smartphone will provide the best photos of the moment you made the highest jump, a video of a boomerang doing the infinite jump, and a slow-motion video showing the jump part slowly.

Not only this but if you take several different photos, it automatically creates a collage by combining them.

How to take jump shots using Single Take:

On the Samsung Camera app, go to the More option and then select “Single Take” mode. The jumping subject should be placed at a distance of 2 to 4 meters from the camera so that even if the person jumps on the screen, it can still be seen within the screen. More than a 5-meter distance may not work properly.

Once you tap on the “Stutter button”, your device will start recording the jumping scene, it can recognize up to 3 jumps. Once done, you can stop recording and check the final results in the Gallery.

Here’s how the Samsung Galaxy S23 series’ distinct design came about:

Design theme – “Create the Essentials”

If too many unnecessary details are incorporated, resources can be wasted during the production process, so Samsung Galaxy S23 creators decided to retain only the bare essential design features, based on the true identity of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S series is a product lineup built on the true essence of what premium design can be. For the Galaxy S23 series, we deliberated extensively on what elements would not only make for a great design but also how they would impact the world at large.

Signature design

Vanilla and Plus Galaxy S23 variants introduce thin bezels that are slim and balanced on all sides for users to better focus on their screens, while a curved metal frame both protects the screen and provides the user with a comfortable grip.

Adding to this, the camera contour cut design seen on the last year’s Galaxy S22 and S22+ was removed, and all three models of the Galaxy S23 series are now equipped with a single camera design to deliver even more consistency across the lineup.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra brings reduced side edges and extended flat surfaces even further. It not only provides a better grip but also provides more space in which the S Pen can be utilized and ultimately maximize the benefits of the large screen.

Camera’s distinct design

Samsung believes the camera design of a device has become a powerful way to distinguish a product and express brand identity. The Galaxy S23 series camera layout has stayed the same since the Galaxy S21 series in order to foster a unique design identity.

Meanwhile, the external part of the camera is a glossy metal while the internal parts have been processed with smooth hairlines to convey the camera’s powerful performance. The design of the inner elements, including the form, texture, and color, is inspired by traditional camera lenses.

Colors are inspired by nature

The Galaxy S23 series comes in four colors that are based on a concept Samsung calls “Shades of Nature”. The Green shade is reminiscent of a tranquil forest while Phantom Black embodies the silent strength of nature, and the bright Cream shade is warming to look at while Lavender captures the energetic nature of everyday life.

Besides, the company developed four additional colors under the concept of “Shades in Dream”. Exclusively available on Samsung.com, the Lime, Skyblue, Red, and Graphite provide online customers with some upbeat and futuristic shades.

Courtesy of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy’s improved CPU and NPU performance, the Samsung Galaxy S23 series’ Nightography shoots and processes images faster than the predecessor. Moreover, the One UI 5.1 includes algorithm and code changes for further enhancements.

While comparing the Nightography feature, the expected shooting time display on S23’s screen against the S22, you can see that the shooting time is significantly shorter and the image gets processed faster. Also, you can see that the shooting is faster even in photo mode.

Not only the main camera, but even when taking pictures of night scenes with ultra-wide lenses and telephoto lenses using the zoom function, they are quickly captured and processed, and the range of Nightography coverage has been expanded.

Improved noise/brightness

Usually, darker conditions result in more noise that results in less uniformity of the input data through the camera sensor. In the latest Galaxy S23, brightness in extremely low light conditions has been improved based on detail improvement and reduction processing for noise that hinders brightness enhancement.

1. The uniformity of sensor input data is improved by referencing neighboring pixels through an algorithm of multi-frame processing.
2. By improving the training technique of AIISP, the ability to reduce noise while maintaining detail has been improved.

Based on this noise reduction ability and detail improvement, brightness and contrast were improved by increasing the exposure of the sensor input and adjusting the tone algorithm. These minor technical improvements deliver a better overall photography experience on your Galaxy S23.
