From what i have red on several websites regarding the latest firmware, it fixed white Exposure, color saturation and shutter speed for more correct ISO.
HTC 10 does not have problem focusing, it's just not fast. It uses Contrast detection AF, not the new Phase Detection AF like newer smartphones.
The 10 however has ToF sensor '"Laser AutoFocus"' that works perfect for still objects, however useless for moving objects.
As for OIS the "wobble or jello effect" produced is due to the correction made by the OIS module, an inherent problem of OIS. you can reduce the effect by limiting the OIS correction range, but you get more shakiness in the video. Manufacturers tend to work an optional sweet spot.
So how can one take a proper photo of a kid who is playing in the room using the HTC 10 if the laser autofocus is useless?
Hahahaha
Yeah and you have the 10 to claim such things? :)
If you want the S7 so hard go and buy it, nobody is stopping you
Just so you know there is a thread on XDA for people who actually bought the S7 Edge and are selling it to get the 10, the edges are pain in the a** for typing and it makes the phone very fragile.
I am basing my question on a review that I read and which talked about this problem and I am asking whether the software updates fixed this issue. What bothered you exactly in that?
Here I am quoting the review in which you can see the taken photos: (

"When things get darker, however, it can become a real problem. Left to its own devices, and the phone can spend awkward seconds drifting in and out of focus. Even tapping to set the focus point manually can fall short, and all too often I found I missed the shot I was aiming for.
Crank that frustration level up by a factor of ten if your subject is moving. I picked a relatively placid moment for an impromptu photo-shoot with my cat, Penelope, and ended up with perhaps three in-focus pictures out of more 20-30 attempts.
Of those which were actually sufficiently crisp enough to be useful, the lag between my tapping to take the shot and the HTC 10 capturing it was so great, two of the three lost any semblance of the composition I was aiming for. Really, it was only a matter of luck that she hadn't moved more and spoiled the focus.
I've also been less than impressed by the HTC 10's macro abilities. Distances that, on an iPhone 6s or a Galaxy S7 would present no issues, are simply too close for the HTC to focus on. The following shot is about as close to the tipsy cat as I could get and still have it crisp."
