Oftentimes with images, I get bright glares from the sun. The sun may not necessarily be hitting the lens and it will have a ray. Is this normal? My friends iPhone does not do this with pictures. This seems a bit light sensitive and I'm wondering if the camera is defective. This also occurs with other sources of light.

Hi, The phenomenon that appears on your camera is not faulty. It’s a normal flare phenomenon and it can occur when shooting under backlight that sun/light is located close to screen frame or fingerprint/foreign matter gets on the lens. Especially, when you take a shoot objects around bright lights, you can easily find them. At that time, please specify where the sun is not so close to the screen or check again once you have removed the foreign material on the lens(As foreign matter can remain according to wiping method, please wipe the lens in a circle around to remove the foreign material completely) It may differ slightly by lens specification and foreign matter on the lens.

 so the slight rays are from the back light? Thanks for the response. It seems to be very common for the rays to appear and I am wondering how to adjust it where it is less sensitive to light.

Hi, what's the case you are using with the phone? Is it transparent or some solid colour, not transparent? Im using original samsung branded transparent case and its doing same thing because the  sunglares reflect / break the sunlight near the camera lenses. That's only with transparent case.

Maybe in his photos, but I have the same disturbing issue on low light background, even in a almost cloudy day.

I'm a not professional photographer with other cameras and this issue in my S21 Ultranis really annoying and I fell frustrated. My old S10 Plus had no issues like this.

Any white subject or object in the scene generates light glare.
