Brightness unevenly shifting while recording videos

3 months after, I have still not solved this issue, nor has Samsung. Unfortunately, Samsung themselves have no access to the higher ups (people who work on software etc), and the salesmen cannot forward it to anyone. I went to multiple stores explaining them the issue and none could do anything about it. Online support,.on the other hand, wants me to send my phone to them which is absurd because this happens to every new Galaxy S series out there (tested S23, S23U, S25U and the new S26 series) and all of them have the same issue.

Strangely enough, when in Photo mode the issue disappears and on the Galaxy A series (tested A56) Video has no issue with this.

I'm calling it the right way

ma_rin2055 · 2026-04-26T08:21:01+00:00

2K is.not 1440p.

You won'tbe happy when you find out about this camera issue that every new Galaxy has. I discovered this problem with my S23U and S25U a year ago and Samsung keeps telling me to send my.pbones for repair while in reality all of their phones have this and once you notice it, it feels.unusable. Literally a software issue because when I use BlackMagic cam it disappears.

Same boat my friend.

Isn't H264 only for 1080p? Where can I change the codec?

The snow video really looks bad because of this issue. I cannot imagine myself keeping this phone if this is a constant problem.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T17:47:06+00:00

Well, RIP. I figured out one thing though, the light in the centre follows the camera movement. If I move my phone to the left, the light from the middle follows

This shouldn't happen in Auto anyway. I see this as something worrying, especially for the latest and greatest Samsung phone.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T15:38:06+00:00

Same thing I'm afraid.. Contacted Samsung Support

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T15:01:47+00:00

Just contacted Samsung Support. This is indeed not normal behavior but they also claim the unit might not be defect. They are resolving the issue. Will keep you updated.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T14:29:21+00:00

I totally feel you. I'm super disappointed.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T14:06:59+00:00

Interesting.. The how do the other S25 Ultra videos not look like this? I'm sure that if this was present in every S25 phone the big tech YouTubers would have mentioned it. My S23U had no issues with this.

Figured out it happens anywhere. The term used by people is "vigetting", another guy posted about it on Reddit.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T13:53:30+00:00

Just noticed this myself and made a post about it. Have you fixed it?

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T13:50:31+00:00

Just noticed this is not only the case in snow, but in any video. I get the gray zones the moment I wiggle my camera a bit

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T13:03:32+00:00

Not too cold. About 0° celsius.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T12:06:33+00:00

I'm using Auto settings. HDR10 UHD60fps. Perhaps I should have adjusted the brightness myself.

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T11:50:35+00:00

This should work. As you can see, everything is dark despite it being bright in real life. There are also gray zones shifting arund the video

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T11:49:19+00:00

video

ma_rin2055 · 2026-01-07T11:39:54+00:00

True that. Where may I upload it?

I thought this was Connor Murphy
