S20 Ultra: Dotted line in images and when previewing in camera app

[Ataulf]

I have noticed when taking photos on my S20 Ultra I get a weird white dotted line across the photo, but in a different location while previewing.

Has anyone else got the same issue?Please zoom in and look at highlighted areaPlease zoom in and look at highlighted area

Update: when looking at RAW (.dng) files, then the dots are *not* present, which leads me to believe that problem stems from a faulty image optimisation algorithm.

Am I the only one who sees these dots on their photos?

hi. I have a problem same as your problem with s20fe device.do you think it is a bug and solve in update?

Neither firmware updates nor resets of the phone solved the issue, which by technicians ultimately was deemed a hardware error.

I had the phone replaced, and the new one did not have the issue. However the new one had issues with the SIM-card reader and a bloating battery.

After struggling for almost a year, I returned the phone, and when announced, bought the regular S21 instead - I did not even consider purchasing the S21 Ultra as I got my fingers severely burnt on the two S20 Ultras I owned! I will not fall for that again.

At the same time I bought the high end 8K TV (Q950) from Samsung thinking I could watch my 8K videos on the TV as advertised during the 2020 Unpacked event. But, that was also a waste of money, as I am yet to experience any 8K contents on my Samsung 8K TV. 

I have been in contact with Samsung support on several occasions as I think it is clearly false advertising. They all blame YouTube for not updating their app - even though I bought the TV from Samsung.

Oh well, the next time I buy a new TV it will *not* be from Samsung. This is a story I tell to anyone who listens, and I have actually talked a lot of people from purchasing Samsung TVs on that account.
