HTC One's Camera Greatly Improved With Software Update

1.29.401.12 is the new build number, check in software info under info in settings

Sent from my HTC One

I show 1.29.651.7 on my stock HTC One (haven't received any updates). Wouldn't that, presumably, be newer than that build?
 
Dam this sucks for me I have the att version so updates gonna take forever..

That article was for an earlier upgrade. There is a more recent upgrade that further improves the camera and other stuff, but it is Europe/UK only atm.
 
When did you get the update? Where are you located and which carrier do you use? I am still on the .7 version and don't have any updates. Thanks

OPPS! Sorry, I did not see your post that you are in the UK.
 
Does anyone know if we have the old camera software or this new build? Otherwise I'd love to see some new comparisons with the new update.
HTC One's camera greatly improved after update

Ugh. Here we go again. That story linked to another story that linked to another story that mistook a pre-release update for a post-release update. There's no news here. The update going out this week doesn't greatly improve anything. It's a few small fixes, and it doesn't greatly change camera functionality in the slightest.

Here's the real story.

Hey Phil, just for the sake of clarity, per the following post and youtube video the latest update seems to address contrast /color balance/ sharpness

On the One I remember there were two ways to check for Updates, one via HTC and one via AT&T. Is it possible that HTC could release the update like this and bypass AT&T? The S4 there's one way to check for updates and that's via AT&T.
 
Sure. But that's a different update than what the OP was referring to.

I'm pretty sure when updating, the release notes did specify camera tuning improvements. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to confirm as I'm a poor photographer, they'd all look the same to me!
 
This is what changed in the camera.


  • Improvement to sound capture with Zoe
  • Noise reduction in slow motion movie capture
  • Improved colour reproduction and dynamic range (reduced over-exposure in non-HDR images) in certain conditions
  • Fix to display correct ISO in EXIF information when ISO settings are manually changed by the user
