Samsung kicked off 2024 with the unveiling of its most awaited flagship, the Galaxy S24 series. However the devices had some unexpected performance problems. In response, Samsung immediately announced plans to address these issues with the first update to the Galaxy S24 series. After a short wait, the company started rolling out this important update in South Korea last week.
The first update for the Galaxy S24 series is now expanding to several European countries. This important update brings several improvements, including camera performance improvements, a new option for display vividness, latest Android security patch, and other fixes. It is expected that the update will be available in other countries by the end of this month.
The first Galaxy S24 update is rolling out in Europe with build number S928BXXU1AXB5. The size of the Galaxy S24 update is around 700MB. And it brings the latest February 2024 security patch.

The display color issue was a top priority for users as most models affected by the issue. This caused the screen quality to look so poor compared to other leading smartphones. Thankfully, Samsung has added a Vividness option that lets users control the display colors. Also, the camera was performing poorly compared to the Galaxy S23, this may have been fixed as well.
These are the changes according to the software page, but there are several other changes shared by a Moderator (via GSMArena).
