Samsung is one of the most potent smartphone makers against the best-selling iPhone across the globe, and that is for developing top-of-the-line camera systems and hardware.

This scale of reputation comes to the table with the veteran and QA testing team working at Samsung's manufacturing unit.

But despite having the best minds diligently serving its aim to establish itself as the biggest tech giant, Samsung always confronts a slip up every now and then.

Latest Samsung update causing bootloops

The latest blunder from the South Korean tech tycoon accounts for the reversal of the Galaxy S23 Ultra's One UI 6.1.1 firmware led by complaints about a bug ghosting images when zooming in.

Citing sources, Android Police reported that older Samsung Galaxy phones are experiencing the bug in an even more advanced form, with the latest Samsung SmartThings app stagnating the device in a bootloop.

In reference to the new bug stemming from the new update, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy A90, and Galaxy M51 have been impacted as users taking to Reddit to disclose that their devices are stuck in a bootloop.

For sure, only the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 series have reportedly been affected, while the Lite models rejoicing in impunity.
