Samsung A52 was launched in early 2021, having two variants for spectrum, namely A52 4G & A52 5G. The Galaxy A52 4G comes bundled with One UI 3.0 with Android and received a major update of OneUI 4.0 and Android 12 early this year

OneUI 3.0 to 4.0 with Android 12 was a major update, but it continues to get regular updates, and security patches are expected for the next 2 years. Samsung provides updates and support for 4 years and, for some models, even 5 years if not limited by hardware capabilities and Samsung’s software distribution policy.

The 4G model Galaxy A52 has received an update for June 2022. This latest OTA was released in Russia. The update bears the build no. A525FXXS4BVE1 is for June 2022 and has a download size of 869.74 MB. Users also started posting screenshots on the Samsung community.

Now let us talk about improvements in the new security update. While this update brings more security features and some minor bug fixes, it mostly emphasizes security features being up to date.

Samsung Mobile is releasing a maintenance release for major flagship models as part of the monthly Security Maintenance Release (SMR) process. This SMR package includes patches from Google and Samsung. It fixes dozens of security issues and possible privacy risks.

Nevertheless, the phone still holds its ground with specs like an octa-core SD 720G processor (8nm), sAMOLED 90hz display, and Adreno 618 nad 25w fast charge support(50 percent in 30 min). 

This could be a better buy for someone on a budget but still wants an updated phone and doesn’t want to pay for a flagship.

You can also follow the steps for finding out your build no. here is how; Go to your device Settings>About>Software information>Build no.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Camera to Get Brightness Boost in New Software Update

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a highly demanded smartphone on the market. It features a high-end camera arrangement, but despite that, an issue has been spotted: capturing dark photos in particular scenarios.

Samsung initially released its Galaxy S24 flagship series this year, and within a few days, the series broke the pre-order sale record of its predecessor series, the Galaxy S23. Undoubtedly, the Galaxy S24 Ultra features the most upgraded and premium camera feature ever in the Galaxy family. It features a 200MP wide, a 10MP tele, a 50MP tele, and a 12MP ultrawide camera setup. 

Already out of the box, it is ready to deliver an excellent camera experience to the users, but to enhance the experience as a convenience, the giants took enough time to release the first update. The Korean giants took a long time to roll out the first update beyond expectations and then gradually rolled it out to all regions. The brand continues to release updates for the foreseeable future, specifically when there are issues that need to be fixed, out of which one has been spotted regarding cameras capturing dark photos in specific circumstances. 

The giants assure us that soon the issue will be fixed through a software update. However, this issue occurs only when the users disturb some precise settings, and the camera will capture images that are a bit too dark. This happens while they lock the auto exposure between 1.6 to 1.9x and 4.6 to 9.9x zoom in the camera application and take a photo, and this leads to a darker photo being captured. 

Meanwhile, this issue doesn’t seem like a major one since a vast range of users are not bothered by it. But as per convenience and to enhance the users’ capturing experience, Samsung has officially confirmed that they are actively gearing up for a fix for this issue, and soon a software update will be released to fix it.
