Description:
Reports have emerged concerning a potential camera stabilization bug on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is undoubtedly one of the best phones money can buy in 2023, but that doesnt necessarily mean the newly released device is completely free of bugs.

Indeed, a Galaxy S23 Ultra owner has reportedly told SamMobile that the
phones supposedly excellent camera stabilization isnt working as expected, with video footage and, in some cases, landscape photos appearing shaky.

While testing the device for our Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review , we found that Samsungs latest flagship offered a consistent and impressive photography experience, so were a little surprised to hear that this users unit isnt performing equally well. Theres a chance, though, that the issue is actually
a bug thats currently affecting multiple Galaxy S23 Ultra owners.

As SamMobile reports, this user's particular stabilization problem hasnt arisen as a result of any physical damage to the S23 Ultra in question, and they're also reporting that their device is getting noticeably hotter each time they open the camera app. Image 1 of 3 We didn't encounter any camera instability during out testing of the Galaxy S23 Ultra (Image credit: Future

Comments made below SamMobiles report from fellow S23 Ultra owners suggest
the issue isnt necessarily widespread but a couple of users have nonetheless called for Samsung to update the camera app for other reasons.

My [S23 Ultra] doesnt have stabilization issues, reads one comment. On 12MP pictures there is a lot of noise, though. The camera app needs an update, badly!

So, even if the aforementioned stabilization issue is related to a single units faulty camera sensor, rather than a software bug, wed still expect Samsung to roll out a software update to smoothen out the S23 Ultras camera app experience across the board. A Galaxy of bugs?

If, however, this S23 Ultra stabilization problem does turn out to be a bug, its arrival follows another recent Galaxy-based bug brought about by One UI 5.1.

Several Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 owners have reported (via Samsung forums ) that One UI 5.1 has tanked the battery life on their devices. One Galaxy S22 Ultra user, in particular, claims that their phones battery life was reduced to just 3.5 hours following the update.

Eagle-eyed forum users have pointed out that Samsung Keyboards battery usage seems to have skyrocketed since One UI 5.1, which is likely to be the cause
of the issue.

As SamMobile reports, Samsungs live chat support suggests clearing the cache and data for Samsung Keyboard and restarting any affected devices. In all likelihood, though, Samsung is preparing to roll out an automatic fix for the bug.
