What S20 Ultra Camera App version fixes focus issues?

[pjniez]

OK, thanks. But I am really trying to find out what the version of the camera is that fixes the focus issues on the S20 Ultra.

re: Camera Update

This happens with a lot releases. You should be happy the 10 series is getting some software features from the 20 and not worry about a debate between the two.

actually i AM VERY HAPPY that the 10 Lines are getting those updates, alot of people had so much to say when the S20 came out, (before the camera update it must be said) and some also said the 10 series had better options hardware wise in certain aspects, also from a financial stand point, it would be more affordable for someone like me to now get a 10 series phone without thinking that i'm missing out on alot. its a very nice thing. now people can keep their 10 series a little longer.

Yeah, I was following that thread and there seems to be some confusion as to whether or not this update that is rolling out fixed the camera focus issue or not. Some people say it's fixed, others say it is not fixed and they see no difference. I had even asked someone in that thread what baseband and camera app version of someone who reported the focus issue was fixed. No response yet.

I just upgraded my S20 Ultra yesterday and my camera app went up from 10.0.01.74 to 10.0.01.98 and my focus issues still remain. So I want to know from the people who are claiming that their focus issue on their S20 Ultra is fixed, what version of the camera app they got with the update. It would be nice to know if there is more than one camera app update being released...

re: Camera Update

I applaud them for bringing video pro mode back to the S10 when it never should of been taken away to begin with. My S7 had it and I was shocked that the S10 didn't and I found it very useful under certain conditions. However on the flip side, single take will be one less sales pitch a salesman can use to sell you the S20. Kind of a double edged sword? A good update for the S10 though and gives you confidence that your high priced flagship device will receive future upgrades that it didn't have out of the box.

What is the camera app version and the baseband version after the update?

I can only speak for the Ultra from a camera perspective. You are missing out on the higher resolution sensor and the larger hybrid zoom. The zoom between 4x and 10x is excellent and up to 30x really good. You can probably get some decent shots above 30x but at 100x it's just to see what's out there that you may not be able to see normally.

The 120 refresh rate is also an excellent update in hardware. The 5000mAH battery is excellent and more than adequately compensates for the 120 refresh rate. 5G capability, is a plus if that works for you.

Is it worth it to upgrade for the money? My answer to that is that it depends on how you feel about money, because no year to year upgrade can be justified if money is a concern.

The version that ends in 98.

Here is the camera version ends in 98 and build number ends in ATCH. This is the camera update that was pushed both to Snapdragon and exynos. It fixes/improved the focus and other camera complaints based on feedback from many people. There are few who still reported they have the issue. I'm one of them where I could easily replicate the focus hunting even after the update when I move objects in and out of camera focus. I have reset the camera, wiped camera cache and cache partition from recovery and tried few other things but didn't help. I have just accepted may be it's just me and hoping that this is not something I'll encounter in most scenarios.

The update version is covered in that thread. We try to avoid duplicate threads to avoid parralel discussions.

Thank you for letting me know what versions you were upgraded to. Those are the same versions my S20 Ultra got upgraded to. I think the camera focus is a little better after the update. But definitely not as quick or as accurate as my S10+.
