Samsung would do well without this bad publicity. For several days now, many users of the S23 range, the brand’s high-end smartphone, have been gathering on Reddit to rant about the stumbling blocks of the iPhone 14 competitor.
Main problem, the camera of the S23 and S23+ that shows a kind of blurred halo in the shape of a banana. Presented as one of the strengths of the smartphone, the camera could have a material anomaly, relay certain specialized sites.
Other users have not noticed any issues, which raises concerns that this is a vendor or manufacturing plant issue. Some smartphones come from South Korea, others from Vietnam and it seems to be the second category that is affected.
Lie or cheat?
Still on camera, Samsung is also accused of lying about the performance of the S23 Ultra, the most powerful in the range. The brand thus sells the “Space Zoom” to take impressive photos of the Moon. A user manipulated a false image of our satellite in this way to realize that the camera was giving him a totally artificial image.
In fact, Samsung is using artificial intelligence to make up for the camera’s lack of performance at ultra-long distances. It’s not really a lie, but a little trick used by brands.
Still, S23 obviously has other issues, as some users on Reddit remind us.
A disappointment, especially since the Samsung S23 Ultra had been described by Tech & Co as a “remarkable device in all respects”.
