The Galaxy S23 series launched to generally positive acclaim from critics and users. Granted, for a lot of users, it felt like a minor upgrade over the previous generation, but there are a lot of under-the-hood improvements that make these devices really good for those who want an excellent experience. However, users of the base and plus variants have reported a strange blur in the photos where a part of the picture taken using the main camera is out of focus. Samsung so far still has not commented on the issues, and now it seems like more users are coming forward with it.

Galaxy S23 cameras still have soft, out of focus areas, and Samsung thinks it is just a "sensor and lens characteristic" as more and more users complain

A Reddit user shared a photo that shows a picture taken in landscape orientation using the Galaxy S23. Everything in the picture looks exceptionally well balanced, aside from an area on the left that is noticeably softer and out of focus.

You can have a look at the image below:

As you can see, the outlined part of the picture is out of blur/soft, and it is quite noticeable, as well. In ideal situations, such type of a blur should not be taking place in any condition. The corners of pictures are usually soft when you take a picture, but a blur that is placed randomly is not something that is common. The Reddit user in question found that a lot of other people are having the same issue. This leads one to believe that this is a hardware issue. Sadly, Samsung's reply does not inspire any confidence either, as this is what a community moderator had to say about the blur.

Sadly, the Samsung Moderator does not think that there is a real issue with the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+'s camera, which could be an issue for a lot of users as the company might deny recalling the devices.

Thankfully, we have seen zero complaints about the Galaxy S23 Ultra, so if you are using that phone, it is best not to worry about it. For those who are using the base version and plus version, I would highly advise that you get in touch with your local Samsung administration and see if they have an answer for what's happening with the phone's camera.

Meanwhile, we will try to see if this is an issue that can be fixed via a software update or if users will have to send their Galaxy S23 units back to Samsung and wait for a fix.
