Poor camera quality at low light

[NeroFX]

Hey everyone,

I have the S21 Ultra and the camera is not very good under (slightly) low light shots. 

Is there anyway of uploading pictures /videos here?

The issue is with the camera and video, especially when using ultra wide. It looks super soft and it has some noticeable noise. 

It's my first £1k phone I've had, and I just expected a lot better. 

Yes, the lens are clean and the plastic film has been removed.

Thanks for the link.
It's strange, it's almost as if it's saying the noisy pictures are normal under low light. Which would be a massive shame.
My friends iPhone 11 didn't have the issue in the same shot.

You can't defy the laws of physics. If you have grain, the light is insufficient. This can be reduced by a slower shutter speed.

Have you tried night mode ?

Also more iso would give a grainy but brighter shot.

Less iso would give a darker, less noisy shot.

Try pro mode or night mode and see if it helps.

Never again believe a paid youtuber. You are right this camera is years behind where it should be. P30 Pro is years ahead in quality though it's from 2019. The ultimate test of a video camera is low light where Huawei excels and Samsung is *****. Sorry but that's the truth. And yes physics can be defied like P30 Pro does.
