A15 vs A35

[Craigmc]

Hello all. I've been a Samsung user for 10 years (A3, A5, S9) and recently took out an A15.

The photo camera and video camera on this phone is terrible. As bad as 2005-2006 Sony Erickson flip phones.

With that said, I'm thinking about upgrading to an A35. Does anybody know if the camera of the A35 is any better than the appalling A15?

Many thanks.

@Craigmc: From a specification standpoint, the Galaxy A35 5G offers higher resolution photos via the Ultra Wide and Macro lenses, with 8MP Ultra Wide and 5MP Macro (compared to the 5MP Ultra Wide and 2MP Macro cameras on the A15 5G). It can also capture videos at 4K 30fps, compared to HD 30fps on the A15. Both phones feature a 50MP Main camera, and a 13MP Front camera. 

Are you able to clarify exactly what issues you're having with the resulting images captured on your Galaxy A15 5G?

Hello, Andrew. Thanks for the info.
The main issue is colour. The colours are not accurate and aren't vibrant. They're an odd off-blue colour.
Also, photos are very grainy/pixilated when just moderately zoomed in on.
As I wrote above, my 2014 A3 was far better. My S9 was leaps better.

Hey there

Just a quick thought and apologies if this sounds silly but not intended.

Have you checked that the cameras don't have a plastic protector on them that needs to be removed? Some devices do, it's just a flimsy plastic film.

Unfortunately not that simple
I'm thinking it's just this model. I'll hope the A35 is better.

Hi all. I changed model to the A35 and the camera seems considerably better than the A15. So it's resolved. Thanks.
