Here's something nice for all the Galaxy A52 owners out there. Samsung has released a new update for its mid-range phone that packs a number of improvements, and one of these is improved stability for face recognition so the phone is better able to detect your face when you're trying to unlock it. The update also introduces the option to remaster your photos in the Samsung Gallery app, so you can touch up your selfies and make them (and, in turn, yourself) look better, all at the touch of a button.
Of course, you aren't limited to just touching up selfies with the remaster option, as it works with all kinds of photos. The results aren't always that good compared to the original photo, but the remaster option is great if you're not willing to do some manual editing using the Gallery app's more advanced editing tools. You can check out this link to see an example of what the remaster feature has to offer.
The update also brings improvements to camera stability, camera picture quality, and call quality, though we have seen these in changelogs for previous Galaxy A52 updates as well so there may not be any actual improvements with the latest release. And for those wondering, yes, this update also includes the June 2021 security patch, just like the update that preceded it a couple of weeks back. Details on the June security patch can be found here.
The latest Galaxy A52 firmware – version A525FXXU2AUF3 – is currently rolling out for the 4G model in dozens of countries, and the 5G model should follow suit in the near future. It's available for download over the air from the phone's Settings » Software update menu; you can also grab the latest firmware from our archives and upgrade your phone manually using a Windows PC.
