Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series has been out for a few weeks, but some early adopters have reported camera performance issues, particularly with banding in images. Multiple users on Reddit and Samsung Community forums have pointed out that this issue affects all three models in the lineup.
Banding refers to visible, unnatural stripes appearing where smooth color transitions should be. The problem seems most noticeable in Night Mode photos, where horizons at dusk or dawn display horizontal and vertical lines instead of smooth gradients.
While the issue doesn’t appear to be widespread, Samsung has acknowledged the reports, stating that it affects only a limited number of devices. The company has already deployed a fix, with a software update first rolling out in Korea and set to launch globally soon.
Users have noted that other camera modes are unaffected, suggesting that the issue stems from post-processing in long-exposure shots rather than a fundamental hardware flaw. With the fix arriving quickly, this appears to be a minor software glitch rather than a major defect, reassuring Galaxy S25 owners that Samsung is addressing the problem swiftly.
