The Galaxy S25 Ultra is undoubtedly Samsung‘s top-tier camera phone. However, some early adopters are reporting an annoying issue with their cameras. A handful of users have noticed banding—horizontal or vertical lines—appearing in photos taken with the phone’s night mode.
The problem seems to be tied to the phone’s post-processing software rather than a hardware flaw. Users on Reddit and Samsung’s community forums have shared examples of the banding, which typically shows up near the edges of photos.
Interestingly, the issue isn’t exclusive to the Ultra; some Galaxy S25+ owners have reported similar problems with their cameras.
Samsung acknowledges camera issue on Galaxy S25 Ultra
The good news is that Samsung has officially acknowledged the issue. A company spokesperson confirmed that they’re aware of the issue and have prepared a fix that will be rolled out in an upcoming software update. Coincidentally (or not), the Galaxy S25 series started receiving its first update this week, and the patch likely addresses this problem.
For now, the glitch seems to be isolated to night mode, and it doesn’t appear to affect a large number of users. Still, it’s a reminder that even the most polished devices can have hiccups out of the gate. If you’re one of the unlucky few experiencing this issue, the fix should be just around the corner.
In the meantime, it’s worth noting that the Galaxy S25 Ultra remains one of the most capable camera phones on the market—banding or not. But if you’re considering picking one up, you might want to hold off until the update is widely available, just to be safe.
