U.S. Cellular will join three other major U.S. national wireless providers in providing Moto X users on its network with a much-needed update. The carrier has finally confirmed that the camera-fixing patch will roll out sometime in October.
A leaked U.S. Cellular internal document shows that the carrier sent out a Device Service Bulletin highlighting an update for the Moto X model XT1055 in October 2013. The update will not change the Android version from Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but the update will bring a much needed boost to the Moto X's camera, which drew a large number of complaints soon after the phone's release.
The update, according to U.S. Cellular's memo, is essentially identical to the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile ones that have already released. For a quick comparison, here's the official changelog from AT&T (as opposed to the changes listed by U.S. Cellular in the internal doc shown above).
"- Enhanced camera auto-white balance performance and color accuracy.
- Improved exposure when taking photos outside or backlit, and improved clarity in low light.
- Faster touch-to-focus time and reduced unnecessary refocusing in low light or scenes with continuous motion.
- Faster response and improved accuracy when using Touchless Control and easier set up and training of the 'Ok Google Now' trigger.
- Enhanced transfer of content from old phone to new phone using Motorola Migrate.
- Fine-tuned feature that allows you to find phone when it is lost that sometimes prevented a lost phone from reporting its location."
In other Moto X news, Verizon is set to launch its Moto Maker service for phone customization Nov. 11.
