Samsung shares how Galaxy S23 users can bypass close up camera blur issue
Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series in early February 2023, bringing a new design, the latest software, and a bunch of new features. Last month, some Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone users reported a camera blur issue, and now the company has officially shared the solution.
As per the reports, users complain that whenever they capture images using the primary camera, the focussed part looks sharp, while the edges and sides get blurred. If you use the Galaxy S23 camera to take close-ups of anything like food, flowers, business cards, documents, etc, there may be instances where the subject looks blurred or hazy.
The reason behind this is that the Galaxy S23’s rear camera setup uses a bright aperture to capture bright photos even in dark environments (low light). The larger the aperture, the more pronounced the out-of-focus effect when the subject is slightly further away.
If the surroundings or background of the subject appear blurred when shooting a close-up subject, then you should try the below-mentioned tips to take high-resolution pictures.
Particular Distance
Step back a bit and make sure to keep some distance from your subject. Then, zoom in on the desired screen or shoot with the ultra-wide camera (0.6x). You can get better pictures.
When shooting a subject at a distance of about 30 cm, move forward about one span, and when shooting an upper-body portrait, move back about one step.
Camera position
Shoot with the camera perpendicular to the subject and the blurring around objects can be reduced. If the subject and camera are not aligned vertically (when shooting with diagonal composition), the subject’s surroundings may appear blurred.
These tips will surely help you to take a high-quality image with the camera of your Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone without any blur issue, you can check the above-mentioned image.

As mobile OSs evolved, Samsung’s One UI gained much attention in the industry. Apple’s iOS is still far better in terms of system animation and fluid animations. At the same time, Huawei’s Apple-like approach has also made HarmonyOS a big deal.
Smoothness in Mobile OS
Smooth animation is usually represented by fluid animations, responsiveness to touch, and overall user experience. Functional smoothness completely relies on hardware specifications, software fluency, and optimized apps.
Apple’s iOS 18 is considered a champion in smoothness. Thanks to highly optimized hardware and software, iPhone users enjoy the best set of features alongside smooth functioning and reliable lag-free experiences.
HarmonyOS NEXT is going to be an Android-free OS by Huawei. The operating system will be launched soon in China for many Huawei phones. The software also gaining support for native applications to be accepted widely.
Samsung would keep One UI 7 stick with an intuitive design for responsiveness. Galaxy phones feature flagship processors and displays. However, the animation aspect lags behind iOS and other rivals ruin all other leads and edges.
