Samsung Korean community’s camera in charge revealed that the Galaxy S23-like big camera update would be available for the Galaxy S22 series later on (April 2023?). Although the moderator didn’t reveal anything about the OTA content, it may be inspired by fixes and improvements applied to the S23 lineup.
Earlier, the company’s camera moderator published an update changelog article in the community, which lists all the new stuff included in April firmware for the Galaxy S23 series. Meanwhile, a consumer having Galaxy S22 questioned when the Galaxy S22 will be updated.

In a recent development, Samsung released a new Camera Assistant plugin update, which brings support for the “Focus priority over speed” feature to the S23 flagships. For older models, the same app update includes the function that unlocks “auto lens switching” while using the camera app.
