A growing number of Galaxy S25 Ultra users are reporting camera flickering issues after a software update.
A video shared on X by a user named @Samoneui8 shows the Galaxy S25 Ultra camera malfunctioning, with noticeable flickering issues. Previously, some users had found that their ultra-wide camera was unstable at 0.6x zoom, causing shakiness and blurring of images and videos.
Since the Galaxy S25 Ultra launched in February 2025, similar complaints have surfaced on forums like Reddit and the Samsung community. Users have described rattling sounds and unstable images, causing concern for photography enthusiasts.
While this issue doesn't affect all users, it has become a serious problem for those who have encountered it. Many have tried clearing app data and even resetting their phones, but it appears to be a hardware issue.
Samsung has not yet made an official statement about the prevalence of the issue, but the company has repaired some faulty devices under warranty. Authorized repair shops have replaced the camera module, confirming that it is a hardware issue in some cases. If you are experiencing this issue, please visit a repair center as the 12-month warranty covers the repair.
While software can affect the user experience, it is not always the main cause of the issue. In the case of the camera flickering, many people have had to take their phones to service centers for repair. However, if the problem occurs right after installing the software, it may just be a coincidence. Millions of people have installed the June patch and the second One UI 8 Beta, but there are no widespread reports of this issue on the internet.
