While major operating system updates can be exciting, they can also cause issues, as Galaxy Xcover 5 owners discovered recently. Samsung released the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update for the Galaxy Xcover 5 a few days back, and soon after, users started reporting an annoying camera bug.

The Android 14 update has broken the camera's autofocus capability on some Galaxy Xcover 5 units, rendering the camera useless in most situations. Samsung stopped the update's rollout soon after reports of the bug started pouring in, and according to our friends over at Galaxy Club, Samsung now has a new Android 14 firmware in development for the rugged phone.

Samsung has not officially confirmed it, but this new test firmware should include a fix for the camera issue. However, there's no telling when the fixed update will be available. The Galaxy Xcover 5's Android 14 update came out pretty late compared to other Galaxy devices eligible for Android 14 and One UI 6.0, so Samsung will hopefully work as fast as possible.

For now, if you have updated your Galaxy Xcover 5 and are facing the camera autofocus bug, all you can do is wait. We'll let you know once we know more about the situation and when the fixed update is released, so stay tuned!
