Although it has just been launched, the Galaxy S25 series that users have long awaited has caused quite a bit of disappointment.
With the launch of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung promised to deliver major updates and introduce notable improvements to the camera, design, and Galaxy AI features. However, just a month after its launch, users have started to experience issues with the Galaxy S25 camera, especially in low light conditions.
Galaxy S25 is having problems with photography.
Many users have expressed their frustration on Reddit, saying that the Galaxy S25 camera suffers from banding, with stripes or lines appearing in low-light photos. The issue appears to degrade image quality and could be related to post-processing or night mode.
One user shared: “I just bought a Galaxy S25 and noticed that in some photos with strong light, there is a thick line of a different color. I don't know if it's a software or hardware bug, but in RAW or GCAM files, the line is not visible. Anyone else having this problem?”
The camera issue isn't specific to one particular model, but affects all models in the Galaxy S25 series, with poor image quality mainly when night mode is activated.
Some images of the incident were shared by users on Reddit.
A report from Tom's Guide also pointed out a similar issue with the Galaxy S25 Ultra's 200MP camera when shooting astrophotography. The banding is likely due to over-processing, and the white bands disappeared when the camera was tested in pro mode with a 30-second shutter speed, suggesting that manually adjusting the shutter speed could help mitigate the issue.
Samsung is aware of the issue and has promised to fix it in an upcoming software update to stabilize camera movement and eliminate banding. While these issues are common in newer phones and can be fixed with updates, companies need to be proactive to protect their brand image.
