Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra users are raising alarms about big camera troubles, especially when snapping pictures of the moon. Reports started popping up on social media soon after the phone’s launch in February 2025, with many saying their moon shots look blurry, overly bright, or just plain odd.
The issue seems to hit when people zoom in on the moon at night. Instead of clear, detailed images like promised, photos often come out with strange spots, fuzzy edges, or colors that don’t match reality.
Some users shared side-by-side comparisons with older phones, showing the S25 Ultra falling short. “I bought this for its amazing camera, but moon pics are a mess!” one owner posted on X, echoing complaints from hundreds more.

Samsung touted the S25 Ultra’s camera as a game-changer, with better zoom and night mode for stunning sky shots. But these problems suggest something’s off with how the phone handles bright objects in dark settings.
Forums like Reddit’s r/GalaxyS25 are filled with threads about it, with tips like turning off auto settings or using manual mode, but not everyone finds a fix.
Samsung hasn’t officially responded yet, but customer support has told some users to reset their camera app or wait for a software update. A few insiders hint at a patch coming soon to tweak the camera’s processing.
In the meantime, affected owners are frustrated, especially since the phone costs over $1,200.
This isn’t the first camera hiccup for Samsung—similar issues popped up with the S23 Ultra’s moon photos back in 2023, blamed on over-smart editing.
Fans hope Samsung acts fast to keep the S25 Ultra’s reputation intact. If you’re dealing with this, check for updates or reach out to support. Stay tuned for more as Samsung addresses the complaints!
