S25 Ultra Front Camera is extremely awful.

[Alina 1408]

As a daily content creator and editor, the challenges I face are difficult to articulate.

I have been a loyal Samsung user for over a decade, previously using the Galaxy S22 Ultra and recently upgrading to the Galaxy S25 Ultra   I never experienced so many issues with my previous device

The night mode is the worst. The video is blurry,  I didn't change any settings. Pictures are smoothed, like the AI ruined it.

I filmed 2 videos during the night time in a night mode with low light, one at the Justin Timberlake's concert, the other one in a  night club. 

I'm attaching my screenshots. 

 

 

 

This is the final product I have in my Gallery after filming. And I do it professionally on every day basis. It never happened before with my cameras.

I don't know how to fix it, or what kind of super settings I have to change to change this disaster mode.

Have you tried turning scene optimiser off and see if that helps? There's a lot of people complaining about how trash the front camera on the S25 is...

Camera settings on new Samsung phones always have unnecessary options enabled, you may have to check what they are.

Hello 👋 @Alina 1408 

May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within. 

Also try changing this setting. 

Launch the camera and press on the cog to enter the settings menu. 

Tap on Image Stabilisation and choose the minimum option. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Interesting, the front camera on my S25s is actually awesome in taking pictures, even in low light with post-processing it turns out very sharp,. perhaps you are taking low light videos? I haven't tried it in video mode maybe it's bad in this use-case.

Do you by any means happen to have a full coverage screen protector that is covering the front camera and altering it's optical properties? I used to have full coverage screen protectors in the past, which was making the front camera really poor.

I love the camera system on the S25 Ultra, the colour is more natural. The thing is people are used to the over saturation but in my option its better

Maybe it down to the user and the content

So you're saying your pictures were taken on a front (selfie) camera? At night?

I don't complain about pictures taken on my main camera.

[Alina 1408]

Good point 🤔

I do have a tempered glass on my screen.

I never experienced this sort of problems with it before on my other devices.

I must have misread somewhere, I dont remember seeing it say front camera. I dont take selfies. But have night pics

Thanks for your reply.

I removed all the extra features and turned off the stabilizer.

I haven't seen any difference yet. Will update later.
