As usual T-Mobile updates are late, I haven't seen anyone here or else where post about getting on T-Mobile.

New to the party. What camera update are we supposed to be getting?

Meaning what version or why we need an update? To fix some of the initial camera complaints. Depending on which region/carrier you are you'll first get security update and then there is another update which fixes some of the issues and improves the camera.

The latest build number with camera update ends with ATCH, you can follow the thread and see some screenshots posted in the thread.

If this was the camera update, that really sucks, because on the exynos video the focus was improved tremendously.

Agreed. There is ZERO noticeable improvement with AF.

Agreed. There is ZERO noticeable improvement with AF.

Working for me so far just like the review I saw for the Exynos update.

Yeah so weird that build numbers are same between the exynos update and US update. May be we can't trust what the couple of YouTube videos show

Anyway we'll know soon in the next few days if it indeed it contained the camera fixes for the US update or not. Hopefully it didn't since I don't see much improvement in the problem areas it had.

I tried yesterday night and wasn't that great after the update

Shot some videos and the auto focus was struggling once in a while with objects moving in and out of focus. I'll try today in day time and see if there's improvement.

I haven't done video yet, but for photos Autofocus seems like it doesn't struggle as much going from objects near to far. The depth of field seems better. I'll guess I'll try it some more see if it's more than a placebo.

Here is another I just shot now with video, same location and test I did last night test. Taking object in and out of focus. Seeing similar results in my photo auto focus test as well.

This is mine. Its strange that some people is working fine and others isn't. I don't think mine is perfect but it's definitely better than before tbe update.

No idea, see another one I tried in day light condition in my sun room and it struggles a bit.

It's not perfect but it's been vastly improved.

Had to use my Verizon sim from my work tablet to force the update. I couldn't wait. Its definitely an improvement though
