Samsung to Enhance Camera Features with Android 5.1.1 on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Samsung Galaxy S6

A wise man once crooned, “I’m King of the Mountain” (and he was), and Samsung is like unto said wise man in this regard – the unquestioned lord of its domain. Though the Galaxy S5 is largely seen as a disappointment, the S6 and S6 have been met with some of the best reviews in Samsung’s history. It’s too early to report actual sales, but there’s buzz about these devices.

The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge also happen to boast one of the best cameras in all of mobiledom, with a great (if saturation-happy) sensor, and a camera app robust with features, yet still simple enough for lay users to harness.

However, in this day and age, one cannot just say, “Dude, our camera so totally rocks” and leave it at that. If the HTC One M9 and LG G4 are any indication, with their bevy of manual options, including RAW, Samsung needs to stay on top of its game or it will get out-cameraed by competitors. (Check out our Galaxy S6 – LG G4 shootout.)

We’ve now received word that Samsung will update the camera software for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge with a forthcoming Android 5.1.1 update. Unfortunately, for T-Mobile users, this was not included in that very update a few days ago, so perhaps a 5.1.2 will be on its way to Big Pink users.

S6 owners currently have no option to control shutter speed or shoot in RAW, and these are likely to be addressed in the update. The release will affect devices codenamed Zen and Noble. Zen is the S6 series of phones, but Noble is allegedly the codename for the upcoming Galaxy Note 5.

There you have it. May your photos reach as high as your dreams. Let us know when you get the updated and how you like the new features.
