Seletive focus by Samsung - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Samsung in some countries just released the december security patch with some camera features:
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-a5-a7-2017-update-brings-selfie-focus-other-camera-features/
But today I receive the february patch and after all it don't come with the seletive focus.
If samsung already port the function, it may be easy to share with al the users who dont have the update.
can someone port the features for us?

??? If you are on February update that means that you had December update so what's the problem? If December security patch had the selfie focus, that means that every update will have it + the new features or so.

"There’s no dual camera setup on the 2017 A series models, so this mode is just a take on the Selective focus mode seen on Samsung’s flagship phones." As far as I understand, there is no selective focus on A Series 2017. Selfie focus is just some form of it on the front camera.

Did you see the link?

Russia got this update in December, i received this update on end of February. i think you will receive it with march security patch. btw it's not selective focus it's selfie focus. we cannot manually focus some area ,it automatically detect our face and get turn our selfie into a portrait by adding a bokeh effect.

New update released

Just got a new update today with camera improvements and February security patch
Please let us know if there are any significant improvements. Especially in camera.
No improvements noticable in low light pictures. Daylight pictures were decent anyway.

UHD @4k60fps is definitely welcome. Same for Super Steady mode on 4k30fps.
After updating, I'm getting a better success rate on the fingerprint sensor.
I hope they release Super Steady mode for 4k60fps too.

Thanks.
Did you notice any other camera improvements? Especially night mode and video quality (aside from stabilization).
Did you install gcam?

So, night mode with gcam has the same results as night mode with stock cam? If so, its a bummer.
Apologies for insisting, but there is absolutely no feedback available for gcam results on the S10 lite.
This might be true for other phones too but super steady video mode makes the image a lot darker than usual.
Just wondering..why in indonesia not yet receive update

Camera Improvements ?
New update for me to EE unlocked UK.
Says it includes camera and fingerprint improvements plus April security patch, 1.6gb.
Is anyone from Europe the link for the latest update of the s10 lite device Did the update solve the green screen problem with the dark mode I have one end of the screen when the lighting is down, it tends to turn green and it's a problem with the device Can anyone give me a picture of the latest update information arrived in Europe
update sent to the European region solve this problem? Note that my device is on January update until this moment I have not received any update Can I download and install an update manually without a computer and without Odin like the Chinese devices?

Still not recieved any update for India region. Anyone else in Inida got it?
Samsung apparently paused updates in India during lockdown, they have now resumed updates. Maybe next month S10 Lite will finally be updated.
Got the update in India today, it's the same April update as Spain got earlier.
No noticeable camera improvements but I liked the new single take camera mode.

october 2020 patch OTA

Hello,
I am trying to stick with OTA updates with this device. Has anyone in the UK received the update? Previous updates have been quick to come through, but there is no sign of this one.
Also, for the European version (non snapdragon), are there camera improvements with this update?
I have an unlocked Note 10+ 5G (N976B) in the UK and got the update this morning. No real big changes. Just a security update and performance/stability improvements.
Yep, got it. No mention of camera improvements like the snapdragon variant
I use the GCam port the majority of the time so not too bothered about the camera. I'm not that impressed with the picture quality from stock camera in any case. The difference between the Snapdragon and Exynos variants is a discussion in itself. If the stock camera had a bit more customisation over image compression and produced outputs similar to GCam I would gladly use it. I'm aware there is the zero cam mod but like you, I want to stay stock and get OTA updates. I'm very familiar with rooting having had Pixel and OnePlus phones in the past. Samsung provides quite a bit of customisation now so root is not really needed to do some things the majority of the time.
I've been feeling that the battery has immensely improved on the latest OTA update (Oct patch) - Exynos model.

I am using ZGCam 7.4. I don't think I am allowed to link telegram groups but you can find the group if you do a search on telegram. The group is called "ZExynos Lounge ZGCam 7.4". There is a group for the ZGCam 6.1 port also.

Question Software update

Will my Samsung galaxy s21 FE (SM-G990B/DS) will receive one ui 5 update? Is it USA locked version?
Exynos version, don't know which region, it should be the region where you bought it from, check software update update is rolled out.

G990B/DS is Snapdragon processor, Dual sim, Europe/International version, not USA.
Samsung S21fe USA versions have the model code G990U.
To find out the which country's software version you have, go to settings> about phone> Software information> Service provider software version. There you can find a 3digit code on the 2nd line, that's the CSC (Country Specific Code) of your phone.
Since your model is G990B, only four country's are yet to have android 13 update till date: SEK (Ukrain), SER (Russia), SKZ (Kazakhstan) & CAU (Georgia). You must have one of these region's phone.

I haven't noticed any improvement but I have to say I haven't tested it so much.
I feel my phone more responsive, battery life is (very) slightly better, I think that's all.
To me, not THE century update, but since Android 7-8 we got a well rounded OS harder to significantly improve.

Thanks for the update. It is dissapointing to see they have not focussed on addressing issues and making the photograpy aspect a priorty for FE users...Let's hope we can get further camera updates that will improve this for us!
SM-G990B/DS, received Android 13 but patch date is 1/10/2022.
