Google Pixel users testing Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 are reporting a severe camera-related bug that affects the focusing mechanism. As a result, it makes it impossible to take clear photos in high-resolution photo modes. The issue reportedly appears after installing the build CP11.251114.006.
According to user reports shared on platforms like Reddit and Google’s issue tracker, the camera lens begins to physically vibrate when the phone attempts to focus. This results in shaky behaviour and blurry images.
The problem seems to occur when shooting in 50-megapixel mode using the main or ultrawide cameras. In regular 12-megapixel mode, the camera works as expected. Users say the issue shows up even in good lighting conditions and can happen during tap-to-focus or manual focusing.
Several affected users have described the phone vibrating noticeably. Reports suggest the bug may be linked to how the camera software handles high-resolution image processing in the current beta build.
At the moment, there is no permanent fix. Common steps like clearing the camera app cache or reinstalling updates do not resolve the problem, as it seems to be tied to the system itself. For now, affected users can avoid the “shaky” camera glitch by avoiding the high-resolution mode altogether.
Google has acknowledged multiple reports and is likely working on a fix that can be expected in a future beta update or a minor patch — though there is no confirmed timeline yet.
Interestingly, the upgraded 50MP ultrawide of the Galaxy S25 Ultra faced the same issue earlier this year.
