The recent One UI 6.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S23 series has brought both improvements and unexpected issues. While it addressed a screen burn-in problem, it seems to have introduced new challenges for some users.

One of the most common issues reported after updating to One UI 6.1 is related to touchscreen problems. Users have experienced screens freezing or not responding to taps, with some finding that only the S Pen is functional on their devices.

These complaints have been surfacing on various online platforms, including Samsung Community forums and Reddit. It is worth noting that some affected devices had non-OEM screen replacements, raising questions about why finger touch is affected while pen input remains unaffected.

Unfortunately, simple solutions like restarting or resetting the phone have not worked for most users facing these touchscreen issues. Some have resorted to downgrading back to One UI 6.0 to regain touchscreen functionality successfully.

Samsung has not officially acknowledged these problems yet, but with a growing number of reports, it’s only a matter of time before they address them. If you own a Galaxy S23 device and haven’t updated to One UI 6.1, it may be wise to hold off until these issues are resolved.

It’s unclear how these bugs slipped through beta testing and quality assurance processes. For those experiencing glitches with their Galaxy S23, documenting these issues on relevant forums can increase the chances of Samsung addressing them promptly.

In the meantime, stay tuned for updates from Samsung on resolving these touchscreen issues with the latest software update for the Galaxy S23 series.
