Samsung has recently confirmed that it will be addressing the camera blur issue experienced by some users of the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+. Since the phones were launched earlier this year, users have reported a problem with blurring in certain areas of the images taken with the primary camera, often referred to as the “banana blur” issue.
Understanding the Camera Blurring Problem on Galaxy S23 and S23+
According to Samsung, the cause of the problem is the wider aperture of the primary camera. The company explained that the bright aperture, which is beneficial for low-light photography, can result in noticeable selective focus and make the background appear blurry in close-up shots. However, Samsung’s engineers are actively working on a solution, and an upcoming software update is expected to alleviate the issue.
In the meantime, Samsung has provided some suggestions to minimize the occurrence of the problem. Users are advised to take a step back from the subject if it is approximately 30cm away from the camera lens. Additionally, holding the phone vertically, rather than horizontally or obliquely, is recommended.
It is worth noting that it took Samsung some time to acknowledge the issue, and it remains uncertain whether it can be completely resolved due to the nature of the problem. However, some users have suggested that the inclusion of a dual-aperture lens, as seen in previous models like the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10, could have potentially provided a solution. Unfortunately, this feature was removed starting with the Galaxy S20.
