The Galaxy S8 and S8 + can now recognize QR codes without Bixby after the July update

Samsung Galaxy S8

In recent weeks, the guys at Samsung have released a large number of security updates corresponding to all the terminals that are within the list of upgradeable devices. All of them They have received a function that if you are a user of the QR codes you will appreciate.

The first terminal that has received the security update for the month of July, is the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, a security update that finally allows us to use the camera to recognize QR codes directly without using Bixby. Most Samsung terminals received this feature with the June security update.

The first Samsung smartphone to hit the market with a dedicated Bixby button was the Galaxy S8.. Through this assistant, specifically with the Bixby Vision function, we could so far recognize QR codes. However with the latest update, even though this function is still available, it will not be necessary to use it to quickly find out the url that is hidden behind the code.

The operation is very fast, since we only have to open the camera and aim at the code directly. The Camera application itself will be responsible for recognizing the code and will offer us the possibility of clicking on the floating window to open the browser of our team with the corresponding URL.

This update, which has become available in Germany and France, is the number G950FXXU5DSFB. If you can't wait for it to arrive in your country, you can stop by the SamMobile guys page and download the corresponding firmware.

But first of all, you must make a backup, so that in the event of a failure during the update process, you do not lose all the information you have stored in your terminal, especially in relation to photos and videos.
