Our software developers are constantly working on new firmware updates, and their latest accomplishment is the update for Krypton 2.
This update introduced some exciting features, but there’s more to it than just flashy new additions. Keeping your device’s firmware up to date is crucial for several reasons – let’s explore why.
The obvious benefits
Every firmware update we release aims to improve your device’s functionality. These improvements may include new features, enhanced user experience, better energy efficiency, and more.
In practice, this translates into innovations like internal ballistic calculations, improved visibility of screen elements, display dimming, compatibility with Bluetooth remote controls, and other advancements. A standout feature in the latest update for Krypton 2 is the addition of the Green color palette, which delivers an image nearly identical to night vision.
Less visible, equally important
While new features and interfaces are immediately noticeable, some updates provide benefits that are less obvious but just as essential. These include safety and stability improvements.
- Safety updates: Protect your device from cyber threats – a necessary safeguard for any internet-connected device.
- Stability updates: Ensure your device operates smoothly across years of use and under various conditions.
Prolonging the life of your device
One of the unique aspects of Pulsar firmware updates is their role in extending the life cycle of your device. Unlike some brands, we focus on improving previously released devices as well.
Even if you purchased your device years ago, you can still benefit from firmware updates.
This approach ensures that your device remains valuable for longer, as we incorporate the latest software advancements into older models.
Of course, there are hardware limitations, but our developers strive to overcome them. For example, the Krypton 2 FXG and XG models recently received new algorithms that significantly enhanced their image quality – a testament to our commitment to supporting all devices.
Addressing Bugs
No software is perfect, and occasional bugs are inevitable. At Pulsar, we thoroughly test our firmware before release, but some bugs may only surface in very specific circumstances.
Take this example: some Krypton 2 users noticed corrupted files in their video gallery. This issue didn’t affect all users or all files, so identifying the specific scenarios that caused it took some time. Once we pinpointed the problem, we promptly addressed it in a firmware update.
Firmware updates not only resolve these issues but also prevent new ones, ensuring your device runs smoothly.
Easy to update
Updating your firmware is straightforward and hassle-free. At Pulsar, we are proud to be the first company in the market to introduce remote updates. All you need is a smartphone, an internet connection, and your Pulsar device.
To update your firmware:
- Follow the step-by-step instructions in your user manual.
- Or watch the video guide recorded by our colleague, Laurynas.
Firmware updates are more than just new features – they enhance safety, stability, and longevity while addressing potential bugs. Regular updates keep your device running at its best, whether it’s a brand-new model or one you’ve had for years. So check your firmware today, and keep your device up to date – it’s worth it!
