Samsung recently rolled out its highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update to several flagship smartphones and tablets, including the Galaxy S23 series. While the update brought a plethora of exciting features to the devices, it also introduced some unexpected issues. Users have reported slower charging speeds, elevated operating temperatures, fingerprint recognition failures, and, most recently, touchscreen responsiveness issues.
According to numerous complaints, the touchscreen on Galaxy S23 devices is exhibiting delayed responsiveness, requiring multiple taps before registering input. Samsung has acknowledged this issue and identified its root cause: the Google app’s Discover feature. While Google works on resolving the problem, Samsung has provided a temporary solution to alleviate the touchscreen issue.
To address the problem, users are advised to update the Google app to the latest version, clear the app’s data, and restart their devices. Once these steps are completed, the touchscreen should function properly. Samsung emphasizes that until Google releases a permanent fix, this temporary solution should mitigate the problem for affected users.
In addition to addressing the touchscreen issue, Samsung has been proactive in bringing new camera features to its flagship devices. However, with the release of the Galaxy S24 series, some features, such as the Dual Rec shooting mode, are not being extended to older devices like the Galaxy S23.
Dual Rec, a refined version of the existing dual recording capabilities, allows users to capture videos simultaneously from any two cameras on the Galaxy S24. While this feature offers enhanced flexibility and versatility, it is notably absent from the One UI 6.1 update for previous flagship models.
Despite the omission of Dual Rec, Samsung enthusiasts remain hopeful that the company will consider incorporating this feature into older devices through future updates. Additionally, users are encouraged to stay informed about potential software enhancements and updates that may address their device’s functionality and user experience.
