Foreign media report a serious error related to the operation of the front camera on all three new
We've been using the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra for about2 weeks in and we were generally very impressed with the phone: it runs incredibly fast, camera capabilities are impressive, battery life — stable. However, now that we also have the Galaxy S20 and S20 Plus, we have also noticed and can confirm that all three phones we have are suffering from the dreaded front camera bug. Half of our selfies looked terrible.
The error boils down to the fact that the camera randomly decides to blur parts of the image, and sometimes even most of the image.
In many of our shots, half of my face wasblurred and devoid of detail, while parts of it remained in focus. My colleagues Peter and Paul also tried different scenarios, and everything was the same: the error will appear regularly and spoil many frames. And before you ask, let us assure you: we checked three times, and the camera lens was not dirty, it was clean for all pictures. IN
Pay attention to the complete lack of detail on my face in the erroneous picture. The front camera was clean for both images.
Many observers praised the S20 series front camera, and it can sometimes really take great pictures. The keyword, however, seems to be "sometimes."
Peter experienced the same nasty bug.Sometimes the phone took a selfie as it should, and sometimes — blurry mess. The front camera was clean in both pictures, it seems like the algorithms messed up the images.
Right now we have a large collectionunsuccessful selfies on all three new products — S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra. The problem seems to occur most often when you have a bright background. We tried different ways to fix it: we turned off all beauty modes, we also turned off the HDR feature, but to no avail. It just seems like there's a glitch in the algorithm that Samsung uses.
This is another problem from the already existing listproblems with the Galaxy S20 series camera. Samsung has already committed to fixing many of the bugs in the S20 line, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that this bug is also on their list. The promised software update should be released very soon.
