Hello,

I’m writing to report a serious issue that started immediately after updating my Galaxy S23 to One UI 7. I came in Canada and I was one of the "lucky ones" to be ìn the rollout percent. The camera quality has dropped significantly: photos are blurry or over-processed, even in good lighting, videos are unstable, with noticeable shakines, night mode and ultra-wide shots look worse than before, focus is slower and often inaccurate.

This makes the phone nearly unusable for taking decent photos or videos while i am on a trip. 

Please advise if a fix is coming soon. I have already tried resetting camera settings. Many users are reporting similar problems, so I hope Samsung will address this urgently. Or if a workaround is in place, let me know.

I agree totally with all the comments. I have an 23 ultra and my wife has a 24 ultra both struggling to get good pics since the update!

Same experience on an s23 ultra. Perspective on photos weird since the update. Bit like a fisheye lens. Not a happy customer!

Potential impacts on Samsung recently:

- Korea was in trouble last year

- The lost of the CEO

- Google has changed their android release schedule

So I think we need some patience.

Galaxy S23 Ultra user in Canada here. I definitely noticed that night shots got much worse. Much noisier now and the camera can't find focus points while take pics. I use the camera for lots of low light shooting in concerts and clubs and the phone was amazing up until this One UI update.

 

Samsung, take note that I'll probably switch to iPhone for the first time ever over this camera issue.

Galaxy S22 Ultra - same problem, Camara is now unusable, because quality is so bad after one ui 7 update.

Sorry.. have to vent...
For those of you who go down the Samsung world.. I have a Note 20 Ultra, its time has come (recharge battery life done) I get it...
HOWEVER, Samsung(T-Mobile) PUSHED another update that OBVIOUSLY crippled the camera.
This is terrible practice.
Its known they force customers to upgrade in other crappy ways (waterproof so you cant repair, ect) but now pushing software to cripple your phone is a next level...
(No worries Apple isn't a Angle with their locked-in eco system either.)
Its just that there are entities that our "Taxes" pay for to keep bad Business practices from happening.
