What's Wrong with Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's Camera?
The Galaxy S24 Ultra One 6.1.1 upgrade, the major update since its debut, is being tested, per Gadget 360. Since its introduction, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra has struggled with shutter slowness, zoom issues, and motion blur when recording fast-moving objects. Despite multiple upgrades, including a noteworthy April one, these vulnerabilities continue.
According to reports, the One UI 6.1.1 upgrade is in early testing and will undergo thorough testing before release. The upgrade should be available when Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 debut in July 2024.
In related news, the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series may contain a premium model called the "Samsung Galaxy Watch X," designed to compete with Apple's Watch Ultra series and focus on diving, per GSMArena.
Similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Watch X will be water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). Like Apple, its practical usage depth is 40 meters (130 feet).
The Galaxy Watch X is expected to have a 100-hour battery life, greater than its predecessors and competitors. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic lasts 40 hours, the Watch 5 Pro 80 hours, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 36 hours.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch X will debut on July 24, per reports. Tech aficionados also expect Samsung's upcoming foldable devices and Galaxy Ring to be unveiled at the event.
Chinese Premier Says Samsung is Welcome to Expand in China
Separately, a high-ranking Chinese official recently met with Samsung's chairman. A news from the Inquirer stated that Premier Li Qiang told foreign enterprises that China would stay open and highlighted efforts to enhance their trust in the world's second-largest economy.
The Chinese official met with Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong in Seoul ahead of a trilateral summit between South Korea, China, and Japan on Sunday.
Samsung, the world's largest chipmaker and smartphone maker, has invested billions in Chinese semiconductor and electronics factories.
During the conference, Li noted that the Chinese government values enterprises funded by foreign investors as "indispensable" for China's progress and its "mega-market will always be open to them," the official said.
Li also stressed that China will strengthen the business climate, particularly market access, so foreign businesses "can rest assured in their investment and development in China."
Premier Li also said that South Korean firms, "including Samsung", are welcome to expand their business in China.
Li also encouraged Chinese and South Korean companies to collaborate in emerging sectors, including artificial intelligence, during his meeting with Samsung's chairman.
Samsung is one of the few businesses that can make superior semiconductors for AI technology.
This development follows the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China reporting market access and regulatory hurdles for its members.
