Here are two similar photos I took with my S24 Ultra and S21 5g. You compare and you can see if the S24 worth the money

Neither are actually the same, you can not only see focus differences, but even the most basic of positioning is different. The S21 is clearly in better focus on your clock, but if you bothered to adjust position or recreate the exact conditions, you could easily get a better shot from your S24 Ultra. In either case both present clear details with the S24 focused more on your table edge than the clock.

The S24 does not like digital displays, You are the expert. Even Samsung admitted the fault. You can contact them to explain to them what they can do. Is not point to me telling you, or show you. Nothing is cropped, all taken on phone stand same distance, few minutes away. The reason are look different is the size of each phone. If Samsung admitted the fault why you don't. You wasted money like me? And you afraid to admit it. Wait I get you Samsungs last reply

Admit what fault? You haven't made a point of any fault until this last reply. Even then it's not clear what you mean by fault or which fault Samsung has admitted to. I'm confused because you seem to be compounding your dislike for the camera initially by comparing totally different pictures of wildly different photo compositions and now you're focusing on a night shot of a clock. In this case, you are correct, using 200MP mode, there are clear issues with photos of digital displays, but nothing switching to 12MP doesn't fix.

That's the replies from Samsung. If you want to contact them and tell them what to do you are welcome. By the way just to let you know they connected same time on the S24 and S21 with the smart tutor and saw the issue. I didn't sent them photos different time, they done it them selfs1710206514266.jpg1710206514296.jpg

You are aware of the horrendous issues the S21 Ultra landed with initially right? Especially the 108MP mode. There's been a literal potential of 3 years of optimising and tweaking the camera on the S21 Ultra compared to the 1.5 months on the S24 Ultra. It's not an excuse, but to try compare the two and say the S21 Ultra was perfect at launch is an outright lie. The S24 Ultra camera hasn't had anywhere near the issues I can recall compared to the S21 Ultra and for the most part, everything is better, zoom, low light, details, colours, clarity. Yes there are some flaws and weaknesses in some areas, such as a digital display in 200MP mode, but there's never been a launch where any of the 108MP or 200MP mode cameras were perfect.

OK, The S24 is a Fantastic phone , nothing wrong with it,. Sometimes it makes me a coffee without even asking it. Other times I let it drive my Car, do my shopping and everything.
Are you Happy now.
Listen am a Samsung person myself that is why I have the all series of S phones and not only. The S23, S22, S21 are far more better taking photos. Am trying to explain and show you the problem and soon you will start teaching me how to walk, speak or write

That's an answer from the Samsung dated before the ones I sent, and Samsung recommend to increase the light or use more natural light. Lets see what is your response will be now as you say it takes good photos in low light. Are you sure you got the S24 or just you going for what Samsung advertising 1710207811131.jpg

No I'm going from my actual testing between MY phones. I much prefer hands on tests than using other people's anecdotal comparisons. As was already pointed out here to you, your bird shots for example is a complete misguided approach at comparing like for like shots.

So you say that the Samsung don't know how to test the phones and you know better. The 12MP is kinda fix with the last update but the 50 and 200MP are not especially the 200MP. I can take a photo with my S2 and create a perfect photo on the PC and I can take with the S24 no matter if is, raw, jpeg manual or auto and can't fix the issues. If I take landscapes on S24 or sometimes people are OK. Try to get wildlife photos will be not usable, or in the night let say a building with a digital name display. You will see it washed out
