Samsung’s flagship device, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is plagued by a camera defect that causes clicking noise and shaky previews. The issue primarily affects the 0.6x ultra-wide camera, resulting in unstable images and videos. Users claim that resetting their phones does not resolve the problem, indicating a hardware flaw with the ultra-wide camera.
The defect has been reported by numerous users since March 2025, with some experiencing issues even when opening the camera app, while others have noticed problems with low-light situations. Samsung has responded to affected users, but it remains unclear why the issue is only now manifesting.
In a similar incident to the current issue, Galaxy S24 Ultra users experienced banding problems that were later fixed via software updates. The new device’s camera system is one of its main selling points, with a starting price of $1,299.99. Users are advised to report their issues and request repairs before the warranty expires.
Several Samsung users have shared their experiences on social media, including PrasadSamraj, who suspects the focus motor may be causing the problem, while others believe it could be related to OIS or rapid lens switching. The issue affects not only image quality but also video recording capabilities.
