So you know what’s cool? When a company that’s already well-known for making an exceptional standard of mobile device decides to go back and give their current model some extra love while still working on the latest releases.

That’s precisely what’s happened with Samsung, who have released a new update for the camera of the Note 9, despite being just a few months from the release of its successor. However, it’s lovely to see a bit of TLC going on, and we’re always interested to see what’s available, so we’re going to launch right into the world of the upgrade here and now.

The Update of the Hour

Alright, let’s take a look at the update in question. We’re all very used to the camera of the Note 9 by now – it’s a powerful thing that can take incredible snapshots. However, the update is coming through with the April security patch, and it’s going to progress far from Germany where it’s already come out. What you’ve got to appreciate is that this new feature may well change the way that we look at the camera on the phone itself.

So, what’s new? Well, there’s the long-awaited option to schedule a night mode, and the default setting for selfies has been enhanced and altered. There’s now a standard option for 68-degree vision, instead of the previous 80-degrees. This makes taking selfies that bit easier, especially when you consider that there’s a slimmer field of view for a more closely-cropped photo.

Downloading the Patch

If you’re as excited as we are to get access to this patch, then you’re going to want to go to the Settings part of your phone to kick the whole process off. Once there, go to Software Update, and if it’s become available in your area, the option to download will be there. It’s as simple as that – Samsung wanted this to be effortless.

Our Thoughts

It’s not the most significant update, but you can’t deny that it’s one of the best we’ve seen for the Note 9. There are not masses being altered, but the changes are noticeable whenever you go to take a selfie. Our principal approval comes from the fact that when you pair this with the existing features of the device, you get something which allows for quick and easy photos of high quality. We’ll be looking forward to playing around with the new functions for ourselves, and seeing what differences are available.

Overall, it’s easy to see why this is going to be an excellent update, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. While it’s not available everywhere just yet, every day will most likely open it up to somewhere brand new. We know that it can make all the difference for people who are searching for a new and exciting way to take photos, and it makes us happy to see that Samsung is taking care of one of its current models.
