It is starting to seem like South
Korean smartphone maker Samsung is getting into the habit of fixing flaws in
their mobile devices before they even hit shelves. Last year, after advance
reviewers cited weaknesses in the assembly of the Galaxy Fold phone tablet,
Samsung recalled shipped units and spent a few months strengthening the
folding-screen mechanism. That might be understandable for an exotic uncommon
device, but the trend has repeated itself on their latest next-gen smartphone
the Galaxy S20. Reviewers have noticed some buggy features with the phone cam
system, something the company has promised to fix before release.
According to The Verge, Samsung has taken to account the feedback from advance
reviewers of their Galaxy S20 smartphone, particularly regarding some problems
with their camera suite. While the South Korean electronics giant has not
specified just exactly what is wrong with the camera, some of the advance
reviews from gadget magazines and websites have touched upon it. For some,
their review Galaxy S20 unit exhibited a finicky auto-focus system, described
as either taking too much time to finish focusing on the camera subject in the
viewfinder display, or failing to do so at all.
Samsung had put a lot of focus in
promoting the new camera system on the Galaxy S20, with the distinctive
upper-left corner black rectangle sporting lenses (like periscope telephoto) and
sensors (108-megapixel), so having its complementary camera software mess up is
embarrassing. Further reviews have noted that the image processing capabilities
tend to overdo things, like making skin look unnaturally smooth on screen, like
it had been retouched. In a statement, Samsung has assured reviewers that the
camera system has groundbreaking capabilities, but that they are now developing
a software update to optimize the performance and improve user experience.
Hopefully the reported slow auto-focus and over-processing will indeed be
addressed.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphone,
plus its S20+ and S20 Ultra variants, will be released next month on March 6.
