Whrn you upload a picture on this forum alot of the quality of the picture is going to be affected, i haven't tried to see what you saw after i uploaded the picture, but in my gallery they are not actually so bad.
I am not going to say you are not right. Before the March Update this was a big issue for me, that is why o have said it here in a thread and also I have sent them feedback about it. After the March update the noise has been reduced and some pictures are actually very clear.
Before the update even if I was taking a picture up close when I was zooming in after the picture the details were blending in and there was no detail anymore, now when I take pictures up close and I zoom in after the picture the detail and the fine lines are there.
I have noticed on this phone when taking pictures, good lighting source and zooming play a big part. If you have good light and you don't use the zoom the picture is going to have a lot of detail. The moment when you use the zoom and the light fades, than the detail is going to blend, especially if you use alot of zoom, albeit it's a powerful camera.
Your comments make me wonder if you updated your phone, or if there is a issue with your camera, I don't mean to sound pedantic or anything, having this camera I agree with you quite alot, there is noise in the pictures and details blend in when you zoom in after you take a picture, but not all pictures.
I wonder if it's the AI doing too much processing that is getting this issue, or it's the software that needs to be worked on.
This detail blending in it is something I have noticed on my mirror less camera, which is a midrange one, not an expensive one. The picture looks clear but when you zoom in the detail is going to blend in, but the problem is, this is what I saw with every phone, I don't have PC programs to enhance pictures, I only edit pictures on the phone, and I can't say the detail issue gets substantially better after the edit.
Before the March Update on thus phone, if I took pictures of some fine tree branches and zoomed it, the whole branch would've been made of pixels, bur after the update, it had been resolved and the fine branched look more natural, as well as the Zoomed pictures themselves.
Tbh I have not played with Pro and Expert Raw the same way as with the regular camera, because I wish to use the regular camera to take quality pictures without having to worry to use Pro or Expert Raw unless I want to take professional pictures.
This phone's zoom is a crop picture, I am not very sure what that is, but it doesn't sound like real picture to me, it sounds like a picture is taken first, than cropped in. Not sure how it that possible while you are using the zoom Live and if it can be turned into real picture but I would really appreciate if Samsung can solve this.
I love the camera though, and one reason why I love it it's the colours, I have never had a phone that takes pictures with such sweet and natural colours. Only complaint is that I wish it could take more crystal clear pictures, especially while using the zoom, I hope Samsung will see this with positive eyes.
