Samsung has finally acknowledged a serious camera problem affecting Galaxy 23 and S23 Plus models, paving the way for a much-needed fix.
, the company has addressed the infamous ‘banana blur’ issue that has been affecting a significant number of Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus owners since launch, causing out-of-focus patches in otherwise sharp photos. Samsung claims the issue is an unwelcome side-effect of the camera’s bright, wide aperture lens which can result in a relatively narrow band of sharp focus.
Due to the optical nature of the problem, the issue becomes particularly noticeable when shooting close up and especially so when photographing documents, where text falling within the ‘banana’ can become blurred and hard to read. Galaxy S23 Ultra models have different camera hardware and aren’t affected to the same extent although, as Samsung’s community post notes, the flagship model can suffer from similar problems when using the smartphone’s high-res mode, as this mode doesn’t support the camera’s ‘focus booster’ option that usually engages automatically when taking close-ups.
Samsung has now promised a software update to address the issue, although no timeframe has been given and it’s unclear at this point how a simple software update might fix an issue intrinsic to the optical design.
