Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra have started encountering controversies related to the camera. Several users facing issues on Moon shots and photos.
Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus Blue Photo Issue
It seems the Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus appear to have a faulty main lens, causing blurry images. There might be an issue with a 50MP primary unit. The company is yet to confirm the issue. If it occurs due to hardware then users may have to get their camera module replaced.
Recently we reported that the South Korean tech giant is working on a huge camera update for the Galaxy S23 series though, we hope this issue may be fixed.
According to the image below, users of Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus said they have noticed banana or ring-shaped blurs in pictures taken from the phones. The issue was first listed in German tech forums and the number of complaints is growing. Reddit, XDA forums, and Samsung community boards are filled with posts about the problem.
Notebookcheck also reported that their Galaxy S23 Plus also has this problem. The pictures also came out blurry in the RAW mode.
I agree that it is field curvature but in the shown cases it is asymmetric and that emphasizes the problem. It is very prominent on one side and barely noticable on the other side. Maybe de-centered lens. … and while it is a common phenomenon I did not see this on the Pixel 7, Samsung A52S or iPhone I checked. Which means Samsung is just not able to control it.”-Reddit user Sedazin.
Don’t confuse it with the edge blur of the S22. with the S23, the blur is banana-shaped around the center. that is something completely different. Here the lenses are probably not good. Photographing documents sharply is almost impossible. it is also noticeable in detailed landscape pictures. the pictures are almost all worse than with my old S10e. the S23’s automatic photo correction destroys each image to correct the blur.” – Reddit user Heinzi647578
It seems like several affected units are from Vietnam, which is where the bulk of Samsung phones are manufactured, but some Indian and South Korean units also have the issue.
