My S23 Ultra has the 6.1.1 update installed on 16 September here in the UK. I am aware of some of the changes and ways these changes can affect whatever the function is! The camera issue does not seem to affect my S23 Ultra. One plus point is My Files now has a new way of showing when moving or copying files. You can choose the destination while still showing the original destination. That way I can keep track of what I am doing more easily. I do a lot of file movements between my phone and T7 SSD drives. Apparently tweaking the Intelligent Optimisation can fix some of the photo issues, but this will lock out the Scene Optimiser when not set to Maximum Intelligent Optimisation! I am sure to find other changes.

For the camera, i think turning off scene optimizer on the s23u will give it better results, especially zoom photos, cause it is a bug, and i saw someone who did that and the difference with scene optimizer off and on is huge

Just a quick warning there's a new equaliser and sound settings feature which if you aren't aware of could cause problems as in my case it turned off the sound in the right earbud so I thought that the buds were broken until I figured out that it actually been turned off within the feature set.

I'm a teacher, i bought this phone for my creating notes for my students, and edit 100 pages of pdf. People say that after updating the phone, it doesn't give same battery life like before. Is it possible to use the phone for 5 years without updating it? I don't want the zoom blur, battery drain, green line happen to my phone.
