It seems that whenever the camera is being utilized, a message will warning will appear which reveal that the ‘Camera Failed’. The issue appears to be affecting users who purchased the earlier batch of the device. Samsung has acknowledged the issue and confirmed this fact via an email.
While it may be a major setback, those affected are advised to call 1-888-897-4357 and get the malfunctioning S5 replaced in a one-to-one exchange. Carriers are also taking part in the exchange with Verizon going as far as Tweeting to encourage users to make the change.
As for those who are planning to get the Samsung Galaxy S5, it is best to test out the camera app first. If the problem is there, they can look for a working one without going through the exchange procedures.
