Samsung Galaxy S20 camera problems can stem from a number of causes, and solutions vary depending on whether the reason is software-related or hardware-related. If you have a shattered or broken lens, the only way to fix the camera will be a camera replacement. If the camera is glitching due to software, a bug, or caching issues, it’s possible to troubleshoot the problems using several methods listed below.
Address your S20 camera issues using these expert tips from the team at CPR Cell Phone Repair.
One of the most common ways to troubleshoot a broken Galaxy S20 camera is to update your phone’s software. Software updates often address bugs and may be able to fix a glitching camera. After updating your Android software, try opening the camera again.
Can you recall the last time you turned your S20 entirely off? Try force restarting your device to address any bugs that may have occurred as a result of your phone running for a long time without a reboot. Once your S20 is rebooted, try opening the camera app again.
Next, try clearing your camera app’s cache by pressing and holding your camera icon. When options appear, select App Info. Then, tap Storage > Clear cache > Ok. Then, try your camera app again.
Photos taken on any of the S20 models should be crystal clear. If images appear blurry, discolored, or blotchy, try cleaning your S20 lenses with a microfiber cloth to rid the lenses of excess dust, oil, and smudges.

Over time, it’s not uncommon for a smartphone’s battery to become less efficient. You may start noticing your battery drains very quickly, and in extreme cases, it may seem that you need to keep your phone plugged in at all times. In rare cases, you may notice that your S20 battery is swelling, causing a bulge in the back of your device. Before opting for an S20 battery replacement, try troubleshooting the problem to extend your existing battery life.

Dark Mode can be a true lifesaver for those trying to squeeze every last bit of battery life out of their Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 FE 5G. Dark mode not only looks super cool, but it also uses less power than your regular bright display. To turn on Dark Mode, go to Settings > Display > Dark.
Gone are the days of bulky, inconvenient charging cases and external batteries.
