Samsung isn’t the same company it was some years ago, at least not its software department has changed quite a lot. In the past, the company wasn’t very concerned in providing updates for devices out of the flagship spectrum. Devices in the low-end and mid-range departments hardly could expect a major Android update. The company changed its philosophy with the deployment of One UI and almost every device released last year with Android 9 Pie is now rocking Android 10 and One UI 2.0. To make things even better, the company even provides incremental updates with new features. The latest device to be contemplated with this treatment is the Galaxy A51.
The Galaxy A51 was released several months ago and since then Samsung is rolling out some security updates with software improvements. In May, the device received One UI 2.1 update. The latest version of Samsung’s software was introduced with the Galaxy S20 family and brought some new goodies to the firmware. Despite the arrival of the update for the A51, some of the camera features were missing. Now, the South-Korean giant decided to fix this mistake.
The new update introduces new camera modes for the mid-range champion
The new update version is A515FXXU3BTF4 / A515FOLM3BTE8 / A515FXXU3BTE7 and has 336.45MB in size. Among the new goodies introduced by this update we have Single Take, My Filters, Night Hyperlapse features in the camera app. Besides, we have Samsung’s usual set of improvements and bug fixes.
