Blurry Samsung Galaxy S23 photos disappoint many users.
Content creators record a panel discussion on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at the Samsung Galaxy Creator Collective 2023 at Gilley's Dallas on March 21, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.
When the new Galaxy S23 lineup was launched, numerous tech enthusiasts claimed that it would be the top camera smartphone in the market.
The South Korean gadget manufacturer even boasted that the Galaxy S23 Ultra was used to shoot new movies.
However, it seems like the Galaxy S23 models also have flaws, as many Samsung users claim that the blurry and smudged images are caused by a camera hardware defect.
Blurry Samsung Galaxy S23 Photos
According to Android Police's latest report, blurry and smudged images affect only non-Ultra Samsung Galaxy S23 models.
People walk past an advertisement for Samsung Galaxy S23 phones at the company's Seocho building in Seoul on April 7, 2023. - Samsung Electronics said on April 7 it expected first-quarter operating profits to plunge over 95 percent on-year to a 14-year low, as memory chip sales were hammered by a global downturn.

This means that only the S23 and S23+ units are affected.
"Many Galaxy S23/S23+ have a hardware issue on the main camera that causes permanent blurred and smudged spots," claimed Redditor u/Switch01.
Because other users also believe that the blurred images are caused by a hardware defect, many of them decided to send their smartphones back to Samsung service centers.
But, since Samsung denies that there's a camera hardware issue, their S23 and S23+ smartphones were re-delivered in the same condition.
Why does Galaxy S23 capture blurry images?
Samsung explained that the blurry images are caused by the big camera sensor, which delivers a DSLR-like bokeh effect.
There's a chance that this is true based on the images shared by the S23 consumers. In their blurry photos, you can see that the blur effects only appear on the sides.
However, this could be a serious problem if users want to capture essential documents. As of writing, affected Galaxy S23 owners are advised to have a replacement unit.
If that doesn't work, the best thing they can do is wait for a software update from Samsung that can solve the blurry photo problem.
While Samsung hasn't confirmed if it will fix the blur images of its non-Ultra S23 models, it is quite busy working on other products.
These include the new Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, which could be released before 2023 ends.
Recently, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 firmware update was also rolled out in the United States.
