Early buyers of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra are facing an issue with the camera of this flagship device. Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the situation and is committed to resolving it. Various users have reported on platforms like Reddit and the Samsung community forums that the failure affects the quality of photos taken in Night mode. It has been confirmed that the issue is related to the phone's 200MP main camera, which experiences problems with image processing in low-light conditions. Additionally, strange artifacting elements have been observed near the edges of the images.

A Samsung spokesperson stated that they are aware of a limited number of cases where images appear blurry when using Night mode on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and added that a fix will be released in the upcoming software update, which is set to roll out this week. Such early errors are common in new phones and are often related to camera software. Interestingly, previous models, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra, also experienced similar issues that were quickly resolved.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra brings several new features compared to its predecessor, including a new chip, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, a slightly modified camera system, an informative feature called "Now Brief," AI enhancements, and more. This model joins the new lineup that includes the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus. Samsung is expected to release a fix for the camera issue of the Galaxy S25 Ultra soon.

In related news, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is now available worldwide and includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, all with advanced AI capabilities. During the latest Galaxy Unpacked event, the company showcased these new phones along with several features, including "suggested replies," which allows Samsung Keyboard users to receive potential responses to incoming messages thanks to AI models on the device.

The trend among phone manufacturers towards integrating artificial intelligence into their devices has grown considerably since the launch of the Galaxy S24 series last year. Apple, with its Apple Intelligence, and Google, with its Gemini suite for Android, have also made significant strides in this area.
