- Some Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra owners have reported that their Ultrawide camera is extremely shaky and useless.
- Videos posted online show that this shaking results in a blur.
- A similar problem teased early iPhone 14 Pro models, but this was solved in a software update.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Offering a remarkable camera machine upgrade this year, namely a 50MP Ultrawide camera. Unfortunately, it sounds like some users have reported a major problem with this shooter.
The problem seems to occur in pretty much every camera mode, while a user also noted that they saw this problem when using third -party apps like Snapchat. So what could be the reason for this problem?
Our first thought is that this was caused by malfunction optical image stabilization (OIS). The The iPhone 14 Pro series had a similar problem With its sensor shift stabilization technology, albeit when using third-party apps. This problem, which was resolved through a software update, resulted in the iPhone head camera shaking and a grinding or scolding noise. However, the S25 Ultra’s Ultrawide camera does not appear to have the OIS technology, suggesting that this problem may be related to the focus machine product. It is also possible for magnets in cases to affect the phone’s cameras, but the problem affects the S25 Ultra users with TPU cases as well. Oddly enough, a few users said the problem just appeared after a software update.
A couple of users reported that they took their phones to an authorized repair center. Their phone cameras were replaced and the problem was apparently diagnosed as a hardware problem. So we will definitely encourage you to take your affected phone to an official repair center as well, as it certainly looks like a serious problem.
We have asked Samsung for comment on the matter and will update the article as soon as the company returns to us.
