New update for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +. The two flagships of the company presented in 2017 have received the inclusion of the QR reader in the camera app and other news that we will tell you below.
The implementation of the QR scanner in the camera app comes through the security update of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. Previously, if we wanted to scan a QR code we had to access the camera app, click on the Bixby Vision interface and click on the QR code scan option. Now it is presented as one more camera mode. In this way it is much easier to interact with this technology. In addition to this feature, the June security patch is also added, which corrects various vulnerabilities in Samsung's customization layer. The system update will likely also include performance improvements and bug fixes.
How to download and install this update
The update is coming in a phased way to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +. The version number is G950FXXU5DSFB, although it may change depending on the market. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 + it may take a few days or even weeks to reach your device. If you have the automatic update option activated, it will arrive when you are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Otherwise, you must go to 'settings', 'about device' and click on the software update option.
It is a light update, but it is still advisable to make a backup of your data, since the device will need to be restarted. In addition, you should check your available internal storage, as well as the battery of your terminal. It is advisable to have at least 50 percent autonomy.
Terminals like the Galaxy Note 8, Note 9 or the Galaxy S9 already have the QR scanning function in the camera.
