In April 2025, Samsung released the Android 15-based One UI 7.0 update for the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Galaxy S23 FE. The update brought a new UI, new features, and smoother animations. However, it seems to have impacted Galaxy S23 camera quality. Many users have reported a noticeable downgrade in the camera quality since installing the update.
Many users on Reddit and Samsung’s Community forum have reported blurry images, washed-out colors, and over-processed photos. These problems seem worse in low-light conditions. Some also noted delays in the Camera app, including slow photo captures and lag when switching between cameras and modes.
Not all users are experiencing these issues. Some haven’t noticed any difference in their camera quality. Samsung moderators on the forums have requested users to submit detailed reports via the Samsung Members app. However, Samsung has yet to acknowledge the problem. An update is likely to address the issue soon.
To resolve these problems, some users have tried clearing the Camera app’s cache or resetting the camera settings. For some, these solutions worked, while others saw no improvement. As a temporary fix, many users are using Scene Optimizer and adjusting settings in Pro mode to improve their photos.
While Galaxy S23 Camera Quality may have worsened for some users, solutions are available. Samsung is expected to release an update soon to fix these problems.
