Severe camera quality issues after one ui 7 update

[Zanzan313]

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.

Exactly,  my problem too

same here, S23 Ultra. Camera quality noticeably degraded, among other draw backs. However the camera is a serious issue to me, the main reason of buying the phone in the first place

I am experiencing the same camera issues with my S23 Ultra following the One UI 7 update. Image quality is now inferior to that of budget smartphones, rendering the device's camera unusable. Prior to the update, I found the S23 Ultra's camera performance rrally good. A update to fix the issue is required asap.

I'm having the same issue with an a15. The camera is terrible now where before it was surprisingly good for an inexpensive phone. Also the battery life is useless after this same ui7 update.

Is there a way to roll it back?

My s23 ultra picture quality has changed also. When I look back through my gallery my images were crisp, and vibrant. I always use pro mode. Now everything looks flat and soft, I also know the quality dropped because the image filesize is far smaller than before leading me to believe there's less detail in the picture..I was looking to upgrade my phone but if this is how Samsung operates I will move on to another brand.

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.
