Front camera wave/distortion issue after One UI 8 update (S24 Ultra)

[ArMaNsHaH]

After updating my Galaxy S24 Ultra to One UI 8 (version S928BXXU4CYI7), the front camera video shows wave/distortion (like antenna effect) during WhatsApp video calls and front camera recordings. The rear camera is fine. This started only after the update. Please fix this issue in the next camera optimization patch.

Samsung and apple potentially reduce the camera quality on the older devices to sell new phones.

But why?

So that they can sell new phones

I don’t think it’s intentional. The issue started right after the One UI 8 (CYI7) update on S24 Ultra. The front camera shows waves or distortion only during WhatsApp calls and selfie videos. Rear camera is fine. Seems like a software bug.

Nope, this is intentional. They do it every year.

Maybe, but in this case it started right after the One UI 8 update. The camera was perfect before that, so it seems like a software glitch, not intentional. Hope Samsung fixes it soon.
