The camera error driving Galaxy S23 users mad will continue for a while longer
Samsung's newest flagship series, the Galaxy S23 from the South Korean tech giant, is grappling with a persistent camera problem that hasn't been solved yet.
In response to consumer concerns, Samsung has recently announced that it will address an issue affecting the camera clarity in its Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ models. Since these models were introduced earlier this year, a number of users have noted a blur effect in certain areas of photos taken with the primary camera, commonly referred to as the "banana blur" issue.
Samsung has diagnosed the issue as being related to the wide aperture of the primary camera. The wide aperture, beneficial for taking photos in low-light conditions, can unfortunately lead to a pronounced selective focus effect, causing the background to appear blurry in close-up photos. Samsung's team of engineers is actively working to find a solution to this issue, and it's anticipated that an upcoming software update will significantly mitigate this problem.

While users wait for this update, Samsung has offered some advice to help lessen the blur effect. Users are recommended to increase their distance from the subject if it is roughly 30cm away from the camera lens. Additionally, holding the phone vertically instead of horizontally or at an angle can reduce the blur.
Samsung's delay in acknowledging the problem has been noted, and due to the nature of the issue, it is still unclear if a complete resolution is possible. Some users have suggested that the inclusion of a dual-aperture lens, like those found in previous models such as the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10, could have been a potential solution. Regrettably, this feature was discontinued starting with the Galaxy S20.
