Following the update to One UI 6.1.1, some users of the Galaxy S23 Ultra reported issues with the camera producing blurry images. When attempting to capture photos with zoom levels between 16x and 19.9x, the results were less than satisfactory. This is concerning for a flagship device like the S23 Ultra. In response to these complaints, Samsung decided to roll back the One UI 6.1.1 update and is now focused on developing a new fix.
New Update in the Works
After the camera issues arose from the One UI 6.1.1 update, a moderator on the Samsung forum mentioned that a new camera update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra is underway. Shortly after this announcement, a new test version was found on the Samsung OTA server. This test build is identified as S918BXXU6CXI1, where S918 represents the Galaxy S23 Ultra, XI denotes September 2024, and the number 1 indicates this is the first test build. Samsung aims to address the camera problems with this forthcoming update.
User Insights and Expectations
A user named Alfatürk has shared that Samsung is actively testing the latest update for the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Just days after the One UI 6.1.1 rollout, Samsung reverted the update due to the issues. Personally, I have the One UI 6.1.1 update on my device and have not faced major problems aside from the camera issue. It’s anticipated that Samsung will release the new camera update soon, likely next month.
While Samsung has not provided specific release dates for the update, the emergence of the test build is a positive sign. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was introduced in 2023 and is known for featuring one of the best Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC processors. It boasts a 200MP high-resolution rear camera. Although the camera issue has frustrated users, Samsung is making efforts to resolve it promptly.
