According to a video shared by tipster @UniverseIce on Twitter, the Galaxy S23 Ultra fails to register touch inputs when trying to switch between photos in the Gallery’s Album section.
To switch between photos, a user has to tap twice or more to open another photo, even if they are not swiping too fast. The tipster claims that this issue has been present since the sixth beta of One UI 6 and has not been fixed yet.

However, it looks like the Galaxy S23 series still needs some polishing before it can take advantage of One UI 6 stable update.
Samsung has not yet officially acknowledged these issues or provided any solutions for them, hopefully, the company will soon provide a solution for this touch issue.
