S25 ultra image processing and focusing issue

[Jannatlopa]

Hello All,

After purchasing s25 ultra, I am not satisfied with the image and after processing. My s22 ultra was far far better than this.

Front camera can't focus all faces in a group picture and the picture becomes blurry. 

In a bit low light, tha images don't get processed at all! but at same place and same lighting s22u gave fantastic images.

sometimes the picture gets processed and sometimes not! It's frustrating!

At outdoor day light, the images get over processed I guess! 

Anyone else is facing this type of problem? or i am the only one? will there by any fix or suggestions to solve the issues?

I think these sound like preferential tastes more than issues. Some dislike the extra processing behind the latest flagships, others do not. Personally, when comparing side by side, I find the S25 Ultra a significant step up in low light conditions compared to past models. Fidelity and colour composition is a clear improvement and if I use Expert Raw to tailor my composition better, I feel there's far more improvement. It all boils down to how you prefer pictures at the end of the day, but I can't say the S25 Ultra is any worse than prior Ultras in clarity or details, perhaps much noisier in darker shots is it's biggest weakness.

A few suggestions if you are facing focusing issues, ensure all lenses are clean and if you're using any kind of screen protector or case that may obscure the cameras, try to remove these and try again.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I will try by removing the screen protector.

Regarding the preferential or issues, the thing is If I have got better focus, better capture, and better processing in the prior versions but not getting in the latest one then it should make some concern! 

Suppose! I am taking a picture in the same settings but not getting a better picture. when setting skin smoothness not getting any smooth skin picture. on the other hand, i am not using any filter or skin smoothness but getting the great picture after auto processing.

It's more like visual issue than explaining.

I understand your feeling, however there are many considerations here. I personally owned all the Ultras and regularly tested their cameras without any cases or screen protectors obscuring the cameras. From my own observations, they all offer very similar experiences, however you are referring to the S22 Ultra which utilised an Exynos ISP. Honestly speaking, I'm actually more preferential to the overall look of Exynos ISP over the Snapdragon ISP due to the less saturated and more cooler tones. To some this may be true and you sound like that is the case here as well.

Hmm! May be! But you know what! but I am curious why I am not getting same result from this device! Sometimes image processing is working perfectly but sometimes it just doesn't do anything! it's showing that image is processing but don't see any effect!

High-quality images would greatly enhance this comparison. Clear visuals showcasing both devices side-by-side would be incredibly helpful. The addition of photos highlighting specific features would further enrich the content. This visual aid would make the differences more apparent and easier to understand. Such an addition would be valuable for everyone involved. Please add two photos, one from each.

That's a good idea! I will try. but that also tough. 

let me explain - During taking a selfie, I am seeing that I am going to get a great picture, like skin smoothness, and other features. But after taking the picture I can see that the smoothness and other features have not been applied properly. After capturing, the images lost its processing features which i could see during capturing!

Try a screenshot if possible. Also a comparison with the S24U.
