Samsung recently announced its Galaxy S25 series of flagship models, which was long anticipated by users. The company promised some major updates would be underway and new models came with some noteworthy changes, including improvements to the camera, revamped design, and more advanced Galaxy AI features. Finally, when users try their hands on the latest devices, it seems like there is a camera issue with the Galaxy S25, especially in low-light conditions. It left users dismayed and wondering if the company had been relying on AI heavily and did not fine-tune the hardware aspect as prominently.
Users have been experiencing an issue with the Galaxy S25 camera, resulting in poor image quality
While the Galaxy S25 series launched merely a month ago, users have started experiencing issues with the hardware, an area where Samsung promised advancement. Users have expressed their frustration on Reddit and mentioned that the S25 cameras have a banding issue, where stripes or lines appear in low-light photos. This issue seems to compromise the quality of the images, and it appears to be linked to either post-processing or when taking pictures in Night Mode.
The Redditor also stated the root cause of the problem was uncertain. He wrote:
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S25 base model and I noticed that in some pictures with strong light or high contrast, a thick line appears that seems to have a different color, it appears quite often and I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem, in expert raw or gcam that line is not visible. is anyone else having this problem?
Apparently, the camera problem is not limited to any specific model, it extends to all the models in the S25 lineup. However, mainly poor quality is seen when the Night Mode is activated. Another report by Tom's Guide also shared the camera glitch experience with Galaxy S25 Ultra's 200MP camera when used during astrophotography. The assumption for the camera banding was that it may have been caused by over-processing. The white bands disappeared when the camera was put to the test in Pro Mode with a 30-second shutter speed. This could suggest that adjusting the shutter speed manually helps minimize the problem.
Samsung noticed the issue and promised a fix in the latest update, which applies stabilization code for camera movements and fixes the banding problem. While such bugs can often erupt in newly launched phones and are then fixed through software updates, companies must proactively deal with them to avoid tarnishing their brand image.
