Samsung’s One UI 7 update, based on Android 15, was supposed to bring new features and refinements to Galaxy phones. But for many Galaxy S23 users, it’s something more than that—especially when it comes to camera performance.
Since the update began rolling out, users of the Galaxy S23, S23 Ultra, and S23 FE have taken to Reddit and Samsung’s Community forums to voice frustrations over degraded camera quality. Some say distant shots now look blurry, close-ups also appear overly soft, and colors lack the punch the S23 series was known for—even in good lighting conditions.
One S23 user wrote on Samsung’s community forum that since the update, their phone “can’t capture long distance scenery and there is something like blur in photos.”
Samsung hasn’t made an official statement yet, but moderators on the company’s Community forum are encouraging users to submit detailed bug reports through the Samsung Members app, including log files to help engineers investigate.
The timing is frustrating for S23 owners, especially those who bought the more expensive Ultra model. With the S23 series still under Samsung’s seven-year update commitment, a fix is likely—though there’s no word yet on when that might arrive.
In the meantime, affected users are hoping that what was meant to be a meaningful update won’t leave their phone’s best feature stuck in a blurry mess.
