Awful photo and video quality on brand new A15

[Craigmc]

Hello all. 

I bought an A15 yesterday to replace a 6 year old S9. However, the quality on the A15 camera and video is truly atrocious. It's worse than Sony Erickson I had 20 years ago. The entire colour display and the graininess.

Are there any known fixes? Or is the a common problem with this handset?

Thank you for any replies and/or answers.

I guess with it being a budget phone you carn't expect anything special.

What made you buy that model?

Hi. As mentioned the s series phones are top of the range phones for camera . So you should be looking for the same if camera is your thing.

Ideally most phones should perform well in daylight.

Hi @Craigmc 👋 

You could have a look in the camera settings if you haven't already. 

It could be that the phone you have purchased is at fault,  so swapping it out with the merchant maybe the next step 🤔 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Hi. I previously have had an A3 and an A5 and both were excellent handsets and cameras. Far superior to this A15.

Thanks. I've tried the camera settings, display setting, and accessibility settings.
About 10 years ago I had the A3 (when it was released) and it was FAR superior to this A15.

The s24 pro camera is not much better then the A15 especially in ambient light. Samsung cameras are total disaster.

My S9 camera was/is good, and even my very old A3.
I'm considering returning the A15 and maybe try an A55.

Yeah the cameras on the a15 arent too good. I would advice for a s24 fe . The camera are slightly flagship level with a lower price

Yeah, if you're not happy, return it and either get yourself the A55 or if u can get the s24 fe if budget isn't an issue like @itsnotlookinggood has mentioned, then go for that instead, just know the s24 fe has the same exynos processor of the s24 and s24+ but it's a down clocked version.
