Smartphone prices continue to rise, making it crucial to protect our costly and delicate devices. But, did you know that some protective measures can actually harm them? Samsung recently revealed that using non-certified accessories with the Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra can seriously damage these phones. Here are the details…

Samsung Issues Warning for Galaxy S23 Series Owners

Samsung recently released a statement, cautioning owners of its flagship Galaxy S23 series to avoid using third-party or non-certified accessories. The tech giant asserts that such accessories may damage S23 devices, specifically the rear camera lens. The support page showcases examples of the harm that can be caused by using unofficial accessories.

One notable instance is that of third-party camera lens protectors, which are not certified by Samsung and can cause scratches on the camera rings when being removed. The company also highlights a frequent issue where users mistakenly believe their camera lens is scratched, when in reality it is only the lens protector.

This misconception often leads to wasted time and money spent at authorized service centers when simply removing the lens protector would resolve the issue. Furthermore, Samsung emphasizes that using camera lens protectors and certain cases that cover the camera lens can negatively impact image quality. The quality of the material used is the decisive factor here

Adding an extra layer of glass through lens protectors may worsen image quality if any kind of liquids get trapped between them. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series also has a microphone located at the base of the top camera ring that could be blocked by third-party or non-certified cases, causing poor audio quality during phone calls and audio/video recordings.

To maintain optimal performance and safeguard your Galaxy S23 series device, it is essential to choose trusted, certified accessories. Consult reliable sources and reviews for a list of the top cases available for the flagship line. If in need of a camera lens protector, opt for a familiar or well-reviewed brand.
