Samsung is the world leader in making flagship smartphones and has emerged in the No.1 position in smartphone sales and shipment for the first time in six months. It’s not at all surprising, as India is the world’s second-largest smartphone market.
This is possibly due to a huge hike in the sales of the new flagship, Samsung Galaxy S22, and series. Samsung smartphones 2022 have appeared like a storm, which has even beaten Apple’s iPhone 13.
The S22 Ultra was launched in February 2022. The top segment smartphone that was featured with S Pen was priced at 100,000 rupees or 1290 US dollars and has stood with 74% market share in March 2022.

Samsung has an overall 22% of the market share by volume and has a 27% revenue share in the India Market. With a population of 1.45 billion people Samsung has not only left Apple but the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi.
There was a drop in Samsung smartphone prices due to the GOS controversy and performance limitations of S22 and devices all over the world. Samsung was blamed for limiting the performance of the S22. But the Indian market remains untouched by it.
We have seen the quarterly sales figure of S22 and flagships, it was truly up staking for Q1.

Samsung pauses Galaxy S23’s One UI 6.1.1 rollout due to camera glitch
Samsung has reportedly pulled the Galaxy S23’s One UI 6.1.1 rollout. Starting September 12, the company pushed the new One UI update to its older flagships. However, a weird camera glitch seemingly forced to halt the rollout.
It looks like Samsung stopped Galaxy S23’s One UI 6.1.1 distribution. Earlier, the lineup started getting the update in Europe, India, and other markets. There is a weird flaw in the S23’s camera zoom function, which is suspected as the reason.
Users report the bug causing ghosting in photos captured at zoom levels between 16x and 19.9x. Surprisingly, the native camera app is only affected; you can capture accurate images through the Expert RAW app.
This issue doesn’t affect any other phones, so only the rollout for the S23 Ultra was halted. It was recently reported that the company has acknowledged the issue and working on incremental firmware to address the glitch.
Consumers who have installed One UI 6.1.1 will receive an incremental update. Other users who missed installing the release will get the update with the camera fix included. We hope the rollout will continue in a short period of delay.
Temporary Fix:
Open your Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera settings and head towards the Intelligent Optimization function. Switch the current setting to Medium quality, which would make things better. Using the Expert RAW is also an option to avoid the glitch.
