Following the release of One UI 6.1.1, some Galaxy S23 Ultra users complained about the camera taking blurry photos. When you took photos with a zoom between 16x and 19.9x, the images were rendered in a blurry manner. This is a problem that shouldn’t exist for a flagship as important as the S23 Ultra. Samsung subsequently rolled back the One UI 6.1.1 update and the brand is now working on a new update.

A new test build on the Samsung OTA server spotted for Galaxy S23 Ultra

Following the camera bugs in Samsung’s One UI 6.1.1 update, a moderator on the Samsung forum said that a new camera update is being prepared for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Immediately after this announcement, a new test build was spotted on the Samsung OTA server. The version of this test build is S918BXXU6CXI1. S918 indicates the Galaxy S23 Ultra, XI indicates September 2024 and 1 indicates the first test build. Samsung is expected to fix bugs in the camera with the new update.

Someone with the username Alfatürk has revealed that Samsung is testing the new update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. A few days after the Galaxy S23 Ultra received One UI 6.1.1, the update was rolled back. I’m currently running the One UI 6.1.1 update on my personal device and haven’t experienced any major problems other than the camera issue. We can expect Samsung to release the new camera update shortly, probably next month.

Unfortunately, the brand does not provide official release dates for the update, but it’s good news that the test build has been revealed. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was launched in 2023 and was one of the best Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC smartphones. It came with a 200MP high-resolution rear camera on the back. Although this camera bug is upsetting users, Samsung is working quickly to fix the problem.

Samsung started rolling out the new One UI 6.1.1 update on September 16, 2024 to the Galaxy S23 series, Z Fold 5 / Z Flip 5 and many other devices. But the new update contains some problems. Users are already reporting on X (formerly Twitter) that the update reduces camera capability. We request Samsung to fix the camera issue in the Galaxy S23 series as soon as possible.

Galaxy S23 series faces a new camera problem

Samsung needs to test updates more carefully. The released One UI 6.1.1 update degrades the camera capability of the Galaxy S23 series and that’s not a good thing. This problem appeared in the update with build number CXH7. Specifically, Galaxy S23 Ultra users report that the camera app takes blurry photos when you zoom between 16x and 19.9x. Users want Samsung to fix the problem by releasing a new update as soon as possible.

Tarun Vats, who follows One UI builds, notes that the problem is solved when users set the optimization to medium or minimum in the camera settings. But why should users bother changing the camera settings? Also, the One UI 6.1.1 update comes with the August security patch, which is not a current security update. Samsung was originally supposed to release One UI 6.1.1 at the end of August and could have provided an additional camera fix update with a September security patch.

Users have been requesting the brand to release a new camera update for the Galaxy S23 series. The Galaxy S23 series comes with good camera hardware and Samsung’s mistake is not something to be overlooked. We’ll let you know if this issue has been resolved, so stay tuned.

The size of the update is in the range of 2.5GB-3GB and the size may vary depending on the devices. Currently, many users can access this update without any problems.

One UI 7 will be based on Android 15. Android 15 is Google’s latest operating system. The new Android version includes significant optimizations and innovations. While users are impatiently waiting for the major One UI 7 update, we will follow new developments for you.
