Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 gets April security update with improvements to cameras, S Pen

Like the update that rolled out to the Galaxy S21 lineup late last month, the April security update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series contains a few added features. According to the official changelog obtained by SamMobile, this update is equipped with enhanced pressure sensitivity when using the S Pen on the Tab S7 as a secondary monitor. Multi-window functionality and “enhanced usability of external input devices” have also been improved.

Additionally, Samsung packed quite a few new options and improvements on the camera front if you regularly use the Galaxy Tab S7 for video calls or if you snap some pictures with the tablet. This is the list of everything new for the camera according to the changelog:

• Portrait
  • Adds High-Key mono/Low-Key mono, Backdrop effect
• Single Take
  • Adds 2 video filters (Highlight videos, Filtered videos)
  • Adds High-Key mono/Low-Key mono, Backdrop effect.
• Front Camera
  • Now it is possible to start recording with the palm of your hand.
• Video call
  • Supports background effects function during a video call.

Perhaps the most notable addition, besides the new video filters, is the ability to use a virtual background applied to some of the best teleconferencing apps like Google Duo. That’s a lot of new features coming to the camera system on a tablet, but maybe this is Samsung’s response to Apple’s recent introduction of the iPad Pro (2021) with its new camera features. Instead of relying on a new hardware version to provide improvements, Samsung is just making things happen through the power of software for tablet owners.
