Many things that we think are fixed from the factory can actually be modified by software updates. Cameras, cooling, speed, charging: everything can be influenced by software. And Samsung is quite famous for, after releasing a top-of-the-line model, releasing updates for older flagships to receive some of the new functions, for example. But these patches are not always released as expected, which is why users face a lag issue in the Galaxy S21 line's camera.
The first to notice this saw the problem arise in May. Interestingly, last week, there was the distribution of a big update for the S21. Now, basically the phone, when switching between zoom levels, suffers considerable delays in the Galaxy S21 camera app, which makes the user lose up to three seconds in this lens transition. Even though the S21 Ultra is the model with a periscopic lens, it is worth remembering that even the S21 and S21 Plus also have hybrid zoom that has been hampered by flawed changes in the software since the last update.
While it is frustrating to buy a flagship and face problems that are only common to devices with limited hardware, Samsung is already aware of the flaw and is working to fix it. The information comes from the forum The brand's official website in South Korea. There, a moderator confirmed that the manufacturer intends to make the fix available with the June security patch. The problem — according to Samsung — involved the lack of allocation of resources, such as memory and processing, to the camera services, which caused the app to work atypically, delaying functions.
As she has had a good track record of updates fast, it is possible that in the next few days the company will distribute the update — or for technical reasons, hold it for release only with the correction of the somewhat critical problem. As is common, some countries receive updates before others, also as a way for the company to monitor in a controlled manner if there is any new atypical behavior with the new patch.
