Samsung investigating Galaxy S25 touchscreen sensitivity glitches

Samsung’s latest flagship lineup is dazzling in many ways — boasting brilliant displays and cutting-edge features — but some users are finding that their new Galaxy S25 series devices might be a bit too “touchy” for comfort.

Across various online forums, owners of the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra have reported some quirky touchscreen antics. Imagine playing your favorite game with a three-finger swipe only to have the screen decide it wants to scroll in its own direction, or tapping a key multiple times just to get a response. Some early adopters even noticed that their screens would sometimes register touches when their fingers were merely hovering above the display. Whether it’s an issue linked to screen protectors or something more inherent to the hardware, the reports have been as varied as they are puzzling.

Users describe erratic behavior ranging from lagging responses during quick taps to instances where the screen freezes mid-scroll — making simple tasks feel like navigating a mischievous digital maze. While some experienced these glitches with a screen protector in place, others noticed the same issues on bare displays. Even after rebooting and tweaking sensitivity settings, the phone sometimes seems to have a mind of its own.

In a bid to calm the storm of digital frustration, a moderator from Samsung’s official community has stepped in. Tasked with handling touch hardware concerns, the mod confirmed that these reports of double-touch locking, unintentional scrolling, and other touch-related anomalies have been escalated to the development team for further investigation. Users are encouraged to capture the misbehavior — be it through screen recordings or detailed logs — to help pinpoint the root cause, whether it’s a hiccup in the hardware or a software gremlin at play.

For now, Samsung is all ears. The team is actively gathering information to smooth out these rough edges, promising a deeper dive into the issue. In the meantime, owners of the S25 series are advised to keep an eye on software updates and to follow the community’s guidelines for reporting errors.

So while the Galaxy S25 series continues to shine with its stunning visuals and innovative features, it seems its touchscreen might need a little extra TLC before it can fully live up to its star status. Stay tuned as Samsung works to bring harmony back to the tap, swipe, and scroll experience!
