S24 Ultra Bad camera quality and other issues

[veljkovic92]

The camera quality is bad, especially noticed when comparing with a year old iphone or other current gen phones.

Photos are washed out, have some noise and are blurry which is immediately noticed once zoomed a bit in the photo. And this is for both daylight and night photos.

The lower gesture bar portion need to have more height because the side swipe gestures to change between apps aren't triggered when using any case that has slightly raised edges on bottom of the phone. It really requires user to dig finger at the most bottom side of the screen to switch them.

The battery life is around mediocre, definitely expected much better battery life from the newest gen phone. Reviewers are still not objective enough when testing the phones.

I waited more than 5 years to upgrade from my Note 10+ and expected much more. Definitely got a better screen and overall performance, but the aspects above mentioned ruin the experience of such an expensive phone.

Thought it was just my phone, when I use the flash pictures come out dark!

Got the phone yday, moved over from iPhone 13 pro and can honestly say that the iPhone even tho it's an older gen, takes wayyyy better video and photos.

It is a big disappointment how bad this phone works. 

Bad camera 

Bad translator (I mean the AI translator) 

No choice to remove apps that you don't want in the phone. 

That option to save passwords from Samsung app looks to me like they want to collect our sensitive data. 

I should better spend my money on an iPhone. 

The only thing for me to do, is to make videos on social media and save others money by showing how bad this works.

I totally agree! I am so disappointed in the camera / photo / video quality. I had the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra before getting this Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S21 was way better! I had no problems whatsoever with the quality of my photos / videos. Samsung said there is nothing wrong with their phone regarding the above issues that a lot of us are having. I told them to go back to the S21 ultra camera / settings as I use my camera on my phone a lot! It sucks that I have to constantly edit each photo / video to have it come out looking halfways decent, even when taken in the right light etc. I can't wait to replace this phone!

I mean, this post 5384 views, many others posts here and on reddit, does someone on Samsung plan to take responsibility for this Farce? Say something to the public? Is it really a thing where they put out 3 flagship models and they all suck at the best lightning conditions? Even my small point and shoot camera from Samsung of 12 years ago yield better photos than this S24 lineup. How can a picture in broad day light can come out blurry and grainy? Is someone in Samsung working on a solution? What is going on here?

I also have the same problem. very many blurry and noisy photos. I have everything up to date. what bothers me the most is my 0.6 ultra wide-angle camera, I take selfies with it when we are hiking. I took photos yesterday in beautiful weather. I took 10 photos and in 9 the people behind me are blurred. 😞 S22 plus didn't have a problem with this. I have 1000 photos just to find a sharp one from each scene 😕

Yup, welcome to the gang.

Now what's wrong and how to fix this problem 😞 I use mobile mainly for photography and edit in Lightroom

Whats wrong is that the camera is horrible and the software does not help it a bit. There was a planned update that has been delayed to (hopefully) July. After spending 1000 euros on a device that has the camera ability of 6 years ago, with Samsung putting it out knowingly with no shame, I will never trust them again and I will own no products of them ever again. Hurdling towards the S25 with the S23 and S24 still suffering from the camera, how can they let it be? Zero shame from them and zero trust from us. I expected the update to be in June but since the delay I will surely buy a Pixel instead.
