There were no explanations. Apart from the fact that the phone was badly optimized.

Some symptoms of this camera lag.
- whole UI unusable for 2-8s depending on situation and the heat on your phone, upon taking a picture.
- you will encounter a delayed 2-5s sometimes before a picture was really taken.

You won't see this issue, if :
- anecdotal experience on online community; it happens to 10-20% of the S21 owners, both Exynos and SD888
- your phone is new, you wouldn't see issue like this.
- more files and apps installed on your phone. I have tried with the absolute basics; whatsapp and Slack, still it happens.

Service Center will not entertain your request, went there few times and what they would do was "oh, your phone is fine, no issues whatsoever" (after they reflashed the OS and reset everything).

I am selling this phone at a loss, 2nd hand.

ever heard of optimizations and accountability?

exactly, for hardcore fans, the lag is justified by future updates to solve. how ignorant.

there were no camera lags for most of my highend androids since more than 5 years ago. this lag is not justified for a flagship phone of 2021.

came to think of it, i have never had such lag on my camera ever. even my 1st smartphone performs way faster back in 2007.

s21 plus, you can google to see how widespread this issue was

Nokia N95

I do noticed this as well. there were community discussion regarding this issue was there since S20 era in reddit and forums.

i let go at 900, already sold. you're 2hours late. sorry.

not sure your experience without a video. the lag isnt due to cache whatsoever as clearing it doesnt solve my issue.
plus, all my previous high end phones have no such issues; note 10. note 9 and nexus 6p. just to name a few.
