When I compare pictures between two phones I take them from the same place and with the same camera settings on both phones, otherwise it doesn't make sense.
So far I have been happy with the S24U camera, especially since the March Update, and I mean it honestly, this camera is just great and powerful in every way.
Before the March Update the picture were alot more noisy and the Zoomed lacked detail, but now the noise has been reduced, although I would like it to be reduced alot more when zooming in to a picture, but it's alot better than it was, and the max zoomed pictures have detail now. Of course there is place for improvements but this camera is powerful and it's next generation camera than that of the S21. Also it's better because it's powered by Snapdragon instead of Exynos.

I've got S20U and Note 20 Ultra and when you zoom in to a picture you already taken they are grainy.

Like you said is a lot space for improvement. After the March update they only fix the camera on the 12MP which is OK but the 50MP and 200MP are not. Samsung released this phone with out some serious tests and advertised things about the phones futures which are false or not working as it should be. Honestly when I opened the photos on the PC and zoomed in I was very disappointed. They may look OK on the phone as it has brilliant screen but I only go what I see and what you can do with the photos. For the price I say, stay away for the moment until it get fixed

I agree but I have been taking pictures with this camera and even before the update I could tell its a very powerful camera. I have not been very impressed with it when I was taking pictures with it in my own home, but when I used it out and about it completely stole my heart. There is still place for improvements but at this moment there is no other camera I would want in my pocket, except for my mirror less camera which is more customisizable with lenses. But if I cannot take it with me, this phone would replace it just fine. I have already bought this phone, and thus phone is just some much more than just a camera, that besides there are little disappointments, there is no other phone I would want, I just feel my life got better since I have it, and it comes handy for many things, that I don't have to worry about since I have it. For now I am satisfied over all and I will give Samsung the time and forgiven for where they failed because over all this phone is a valuable piece if tech and for my needs, I am getting value for my money. I like quality pictures and maybe I am not so picky as you, although I have noticed where it fails, but for me it does the job now, especially after the update. Everyone is entitled to their needs and opinion and because this is a very expensive phone, I want the best from it as well, and I hope that Samsung will live up to the expectations, but like I already said, I am happy with this phone.

If you are happy with it is up to you For me I don't buy a Ferrari because is fast but the brakes are not working just to say I got a Ferrari. I prefer to stay with a Toyota, or even Kia that may be not fast and without out the technology but I know when I need the brakes will save my life. Like you said, I also bought this phone just not to always carry any of my cameras around but got very disappointed on my first short trip out. I thought I got some very good shots of some rare birds (that was my the impression) even they was few meters away. I was very excited but when I upload them on a PC I was very disappointed. I was thinking is the PC so I upload them on my Mac Pro. I never saw in my life worse than this. You can't do anything with the photos to fix them. Up to that time I thought I could fix any photos or videos but with the way this phone works with the photos is impossible

The S20u are grainy like you said but easy to fix. The S24 U are not fixable

I see your point, but for me now, this is the best phone, because I don't use it just for the camera.

The phone got lots of features which being announced that will release the same this month on the S23s which most are coming from Google. Like you said the camera is OK out and about but not in the house. And if you have a kids party you can ask everyone to get out of the house even if is raining 😂😂😂 to take some photos. That was a joke I never trust phones for occasions. Just making a point
