Hey all! Picked up an S25 Ultra which I really like so far. However, images taken in low light and night mode seem to have a purple hue in spots. From what I can tell, the sensor on the back when using night mode shines as purple. You can see it on the reflection of shiny objects. To me, it looks like the sensor does not go off as it does when taking normal photos. Has anyone else seemed to have this issue? I've attached a photo of a soda bottle in low light for reference. Seems to happen with closer up shots of objects and, faces, etc. Curious if this is hardware ot software based. Thanks for reading!

I've replicated and mostly/completely eliminated it.

It is, at least in my case (no pun intended), light refraction from the cases. Tested a few, Supcase UC, Spigen, Tongate, anything where the camera is recessed and has a "wall" around it is bouncing light off the sides and into the lens.

Taking the case off or leaving them on on and covering the plastic edges eliminated the purple not just in the live view but post processed photo.

I don't doubt that it exists to some extent without blaming the case, I don't think Samsung will completely eliminate it with firmware.
This years Ultra is thin, a lot thinner than anticipated by my guess and this why so many cases have a camera flap, slide or similar.
