Major Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera update will fix glitch issue
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has the best camera specs of all the Samsung S series models, with a 50MP ultra-wide lens, which is better than the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 12MP. On the other side, the Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone users are facing the weird banding in low-light photos with the camera and will fix this issue next update.
Some users on Reddit and Samsung’s community forum have recently reported a rather weird glitch in night-time shots. The problem is different for photos taken in night mode, which show noticeable horizontal or vertical bands. However, some images also show that the disturbance can also occur indoors and is not limited to views of the night sky. Apart from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, some users have reported a similar experience on photos taken with the Galaxy S25 Plus.
Meanwhile, Samsung has finally come out to acknowledge the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera issue – and an update fix is coming very soon.
The good news is that Samsung is aware of the issue and says: We are aware of a limited number of cases where images appear blurred when taking photos in Night Mode on Galaxy S25 Ultra, and have issued a fix to resolve in the next software update rolling out starting this week.
For your information, today Samsung started releasing the first update with the February 2025 security update for the Galaxy S25 series along with Camera, Charging, and call improvements. So, if you facing weird banding in low-light photos with the camera on your Galaxy S25 series phone, this latest update will fix it.
Notable, the update is planned in a phased rollout and may take some time to reach all eligible units. Therefore, we recommend that users download the update if it is available.
Have you noticed this glitch when using your Galaxy S25 series device? Let us know via the poll linked below.
Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G are well-loved smartphones in the Galaxy S series that have now shifted from a monthly to a quarterly update plan. This means that Galaxy users of these Galaxy flagship devices will now receive software updates every three months instead of every month.
The Korean tech giant recently announced its revised update schedule for its Galaxy devices, with the February 2026 security patch, and the Galaxy S22 series has been placed in the quarterly update category.
The Galaxy S22 still performs very well, and with the latest Galaxy AI features recently added via the One UI 8 update, it remains up-to-date. Furthermore, it will receive One UI 8.5 later this year, which will likely be the final One UI upgrade for the S22.
How many more updates will the Galaxy S22 get?
If you need a reminder, your Galaxy S22 series is eligible for Samsung’s four-year Android upgrade policy and will get four major OS upgrades. These phones launched with Android 12 and One UI 4.1 and have already received Android 16, along with their respective One UI updates.
Coming to the topic, although the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G 5G will continue to function properly, the change in the quarterly update schedule means that users will not receive the latest features and security enhancements as quickly as before.
If you own a Galaxy S22 series phone and are considering an upgrade, you might want to check out newer Samsung models like the Galaxy S26 series. These devices will launch later this month with new features in One UI 8.1, ensuring you stay up to date with the latest technology.
Samsung’s latest Fan Edition tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, are happy as they receive the latest January 2026 security update. Notably, the firmware contains the newest safety improvements that will improve the tablet’s current health for a reliable experience.
According to the inputs, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series tablet with model numbers SM-X520, SM-X526N, SM-X620, and SM-X626N is receiving the latest patch via the One UI versions X520XXS6BZA3, X526NKOS6BZA4, X620XXS6BZA3, and X626NKOS6BZA3, and a software package of 500MB. Though the firmware doesn’t weigh much, we suggest using a stable Wi-Fi connection for installation.
This update doesn’t add any significant new features to the device, aside from the January 2026 security patch. However, you can expect some underlying performance optimizations and fixes for glitches that could have negatively impacted the user experience.
It’s important to note that this update will not harm your personal data. However, it’s always a good idea to back up your data beforehand. Also, the update package will be automatically deleted after the installation is complete.
Samsung’s January 2026 security patch addresses 55 security vulnerabilities. Google helped fix one critical vulnerability and 20 high-risk issues found in Android. Samsung also added 30 additional security fixes specifically for Galaxy phones. These fixes address both critical and medium-level risks.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has started emerging in the leaks, and the latest one has shed light on the camera button of the upcoming 2026 flagship.
As mentioned by Android Authority, a former employee at a Samsung supplier revealed on LinkedIn that they contributed to an initiative developing a new camera button with swipe gesture functionality for the Samsung Galaxy S26.
This report states that Samsung is working on an Apple-style Camera Control button for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. An Apple-style Camera Control button on iPhone models lets you quickly open your iPhone camera and access common camera settings.
We can now say that the Galaxy S26 series will be the first Samsung phones in years to feature a dedicated camera button.
For your information, the last Samsung phone with a dedicated camera button was probably the Galaxy K Zoom from 2014, which was essentially an Android-powered digital camera that could also make calls.
On the other hand, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the Galaxy S26 lineup. However, according to reports, the company may unveil the Galaxy S26 series at a Samsung Unpacked event in February 2026. This upcoming series could be available in early March. Stay tuned for more information.
