Common issues reported on Samsung S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra and their solutions

Galaxy S23/S23+/S23 Ultra’s initial impression suggests camera issues

Here are some of the camera issues on Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus that were recently reported by users and YouTubers around the web.  

1. Camera shutter lag on Galaxy S23 Ultra

The camera shutter lag issue on Galaxy S23 Ultra was brought to our notice by famous YouTubers Marques Brownlee and Arun Rupesh Maini with their first impression videos. Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) mentioned that the Galaxy S23 Ultra camera has terrible shutter lag. However, Arun Rupesh Maini (aka Mrwhosetheboss) claimed that the shutter lag is better as compared to previous Galaxy flagships. 

The contradicting opinions about the camera shutter lag problem on Galaxy S23 Ultra had left many users confused and worried. While others are quite relaxed. For those unaware, the camera’s shutter lag can massively affect the quality of photos taken with the phone. Technically speaking, a slow camera shutter lag can leave you with blurry images, whereas a fast shutter speed can shoot clearer and sharp images. 

To remind you, these are initial impressions about the camera on Galaxy S23 Ultra. Therefore, it isn’t the right time to give any verdict. We must wait until the device is shipped globally for users. If we get any update related to the camera shutter lag on the Galaxy S23 series, we will report it here.

2. No autofocus on Galaxy S23/S23+’s ultrawide sensor as promised by Samsung

Well, it isn’t a problem but is a case of misleading advertisement put forward by Samsung. Yes, it is a misleading ad, you read that right. The Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus’s infographics released by Samsung on their official website clearly mention that the 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor features Dual Pixel autofocus. However, the camera test conducted by GSMArena shows that there’s no autofocus on the ultrawide sensor of both devices, as promised. This is the fault on the part of Samsung.

3. Galaxy S23 Ultra randomly restarts (also while transferring data with the Smart Switch app)

While we were researching, we came across a post on Reddit where a user claimed that he wasn’t able to transfer data from an old Galaxy S21 Ultra device to the latest Samsung S23 Ultra. He mentioned that whenever he tries moving data using the Smart Switch app, the Galaxy S23 Ultra keeps restarting. 

He further mentioned by updating the post that the S23 Ultra randomly restarts on its own, even when he wasn’t transferring any data. If your Galaxy S23 Ultra restarts randomly or during data transfer via the Smart Switch app, you don’t have to worry. It could be due to a minor bug that could be fixed with just a reboot. If this problem is reported in a large number of devices, Samsung will take care of it by rolling out a new update that will most likely fix similar types of software issues on the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra.

To save a few bucks, some users (not you, maybe) choose unreliable/cheap chargers. And, that’s where all the problems begin. We are not denying the fact that there could be numerous reasons why your Galaxy S23 is not charging, but incompatible or use of cheap charging accessories stay at the top.

Before we rush to solutions, it is important to understand why are you facing charging issues on the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra.

Possible Solutions:

We understand how frustrating it can be when a flagship device like the Galaxy S23 series doesn’t charge at all. Are you among some unlucky users who are experiencing charging issues on Galaxy S23 Ultra or S23/S23 Plus? If yes,  make sure to check out the possible solutions and suggestions we have listed below. 

1. First of all, make sure the charger you’re using to revive your Galaxy S23 series smartphone is working fine. You can double-check this by pairing it with other devices at your home. If it can’t charge the other device as well, get yourself a reliable fast charger. We have handpicked some best chargers for Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra. You can choose any as per your requirement. On contrary, if the charger worked on other devices, there’s the possibility that something else is causing the charging issue on the Galaxy S23 series. In addition, we urge you to check the charging cables as well. You should always make sure that the cables don’t have loose connections or fraying.
2. Sometimes dust and debris may get inside the charging port obstructing the way to the charging pin. Therefore, you need to make sure that the charging port is clean. You can use a delicate brush to clean the port. However, don’t use any sharp objects like a needle or a pin. It might damage the charging pin. 
3. Do you have a habit of playing games or browsing your Instagram feeds while charging your device? If yes, you should stop doing that from now on. You might not be aware but doing this puts a lot of stress on the battery which triggers overheating problems on your Samsung S23 smartphones. As a result, an increased temperature notification will pop up, and the charging will stop. Therefore, we recommend charging your device first and then using it. It eventually prolongs the battery health of the device as well. 
4. After ruling out all three situations listed above, it’s time to check the power outlet. Sometimes faulty power outlets are the real culprit. You might think that the phone is charging, but that’s not the case. To ensure that the power outlet is working fine, get it checked by a certified electrician. (Caution: Please don’t attempt to play around with live wires in the power outlet. If anything goes wrong, your wiring might experience a short circuit resulting in fire or you could give an electric shock.)
5. We understand that Galaxy S23 smartphones are IP68 certified, meaning they can survive an accidental drop into a bucket full of water. But, you should take care of it afterward. We urge you not to charge your device immediately after it is taken out of the water. Always make sure to dry out the water inside the charging port, using a fan. (Caution: Please be aware that if you try charging your device right after it’s dropped into liquid, your device may experience a short circuit problem which can completely damage the phone as well as the battery.)

Just in case, the charging issue on your Galaxy S23 Ultra still stands unresolved, we urge you to get it checked by the official service center. If the problem isn’t resolved from their end as well, you might end up getting a brand-new Samsung Galaxy S23 series smartphone. 

Terms & Conditions: Your device should be under warranty and you should have all the relevant papers with you.
