Hi, My OP3 facing the same problem, & when I searched about it, I acknowledged so many OP3 users facing the focus problem. Anyway, nobody is exposed because OnePlus isn't a main stream company. GSMarena should've to write about it.

Quick fix as my partner has had the issue...shake the phone, and it automatically refocuses. He's had to do it once, and its fixed it.

The next samsung s9 might recharge in 12 minutes or note 9 with 45% extra battery length. Samsung always finds a way to impress with a different device every time. Almost always worth buying the next one and the next one and so on. Using a graphene mineral in the battery.

Happened with my S8 as well. Definitely a hardware issue as Samsung Repair Centre replaced the camera module and I have had no issues since and my S8 is back to taking excellent photos. Anyone experiencing this take the device to your nearest Samsung Centre and have it repaired (under warranty of course). Will only take couple hours if the module is in stock, got mine back next day as they were out of modules.

Have had this issue for a while. Brought the phone into the Samsung repair centre a few days ago and they said they were waiting on more camera modules to arrive and have reserved one for me, but its a known issue to them and will only take 2-3 hours to fix. Apparently they replace the battery at the same time.

Occasionally there is a bug in the physical camera, so just flick it off and itl work. Seems like a lose af coil/lens mechanism is getting jammed

It is very old issue since launch of the phone. It is not a bug it is hardware related issue. Since fingerprint scanner is next to camera, pressing it to hard some times effects focus mechanism, to fix it just gently tap your phone at back panel to unstuck your focus mechanism.(lenses)
