Samsung Galaxy S21 new camera features coming to Snapchat
The Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup comprises smartphones that are still highly relevant, owing to the exceptional software support policy of the manufacturer. Therefore, it is not unexpected but rather delightful to discover that this widely popular smartphone family will soon be enhanced with an immersive new Snapchat feature, further enhancing the overall user experience.
Early this year, Samsung joined hands with three social media giants to work on enhancing photos quality taken from these three apps, including Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. The effect of this partnership is visible now, as the Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone has already got all three social media apps and new updates that support some native camera features of the device.
Samsung One UI 6.0 will first reach to these Galaxy smartphones
As per information, now Samsung Galaxy S21 series devices will soon get native camera features in these social media apps, at least for Snapchat, it is confirmed. According to the Samsung community moderator, Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra are eligible to receive an exclusive Snapchat update for the device in the coming days. However, he hasn’t revealed the exact date yet.
This new Snapchat update will contain some native camera features; however, as of now, the night mode camera mode is confirmed; apart from these, there is no information on any feature available. This will be available as an app update of Snapchat, so Samsung has no right to whenever the update will be available.
Samsung testing One UI 6.0 (Android 14) Beta for Galaxy S23 Series
Once Snapchat pushes the update for Galaxy S21, then its users will be able to take night photos which are based on the device’s original sensor that will help to take a precise photo as well as enhance the quality. We hope that the update is not just limited to night mode; it might also grab some more native camera features such as Auto HDR, as well as get zoom abilities bae on telephoto lenses.
Green is the new red alert for Galaxy smartphone users! Many Galaxy smartphone users started claiming display issues after installing a software update.
This issue is not the latest, as it has been present in Samsung phones for a couple of years, and unfortunately, the brand has not done anything dedicatedly to solve it. This issue usually occurs after installing new software updates.
Now again, a couple of Galaxy users have started complaining of display-related issues on their smartphones with OLED screens. After installing the software update, for instance, in the present condition after installing One UI 6.0 or the April 2024 security patch, a green or pink line started occurring on the phone’s display, as users reported.
However, at the time, this issue appeared on some particular models, which are the Galaxy A73, Galaxy M21, Galaxy M52 5G, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S22 series, and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Galaxy smartphones are not the only ones, but also Motorola, OnePlus, Vivo, and Xiaomi seem to have the same issue, as a post on X is unveiling. This issue is quite horrible since users install new software updates to refine and upgrade their older devices, but at last, they get a green line issue. This has mortified the users so much that people have started recording videos while installing new updates on their devices, as a tipster @sondesix revealed on X.
Noticeably, this is not a minor issue, as an OLED display panel is not cheap at all, even though sometimes the OLED panel costs almost half the phone’s original price. The Galaxy users who are facing this issue have registered complaints, but Samsung does not seem to have issued a wider circular to after-sales service centers to replace display panels on affected phones for free.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is again in the reports regarding its bigger display as compared to its predecessor.
Previous reports already cleared the existence of the next Fan Edition variant named Galaxy S24 FE and hinted that it might be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event, along with the next-generation foldable Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 phones, which is supposed to be held in early July.
Now that recent rumors are unveiling that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE could feature a 6.7-inch display, which is a bit bigger than the previous fan edition models, let’s take a closer look at the display size of older Galaxy FE smartphones.
- Galaxy S23 FE, 6.4-inch
- Galaxy S21 FE, 6.4-inch
Now, the Galaxy S24 FE is expected to have a 6.7-inch panel. Last time, the Korean giant offered this much bigger display to the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite back in 2020. If this report comes true, then the Galaxy S24 FE will feature a bigger display than the original base variant of the Galaxy S24 series.
The official key specification of the phone has not been unveiled yet, but it is expected that the Galaxy S24 FE could be powered by the Exynos 2400 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It could feature a 6.7-inch FDH+ AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. A parallel increase in battery size will be necessary to power the larger screen. It would be interesting to see what new novelties the forthcoming Galaxy S24 FE will bring.
Initially, Samsung debuted its latest mid-range device, the Galaxy M55, powered by a Snapdragon chipset, in Brazil and India, and now, bringing it to a few European countries, the prices have also been revealed.
Samsung has introduced the recently launched mid-range Galaxy M55 device in two variants based on memory configuration:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage
- 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage
For European countries, Samsung set a price of €479.90 for the 128GB storage variant, but here’s the twist: if you buy it during the promotional period, the phone will be available for just €439.90. Whereas, the 256GB variant is available for €529.99.
The Korean giant also launched one more Galaxy device in Europe named the Galaxy M15, as per the reports of a tipster, @rquandt on X; however, the pricing information has not been revealed yet.
The Galaxy M55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen along with a refresh rate of 120Hz, HDR10+, 1,000 nits peak brightness, and Full HD+ resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor and runs Android 15-based One UI 6.1. The camera configuration counts a 50MP OIS primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and on the flip side, a 50MP camera. The brand has powered it with a 5,000mAh battery, along with the support of 45W fast charging.
