My front camera quality is very very subpar, worse than on my s22 ultra. Is there a fix for this?

According to "https://www.gsmarena.com/": 

S22 Ultra Front Camera: 40 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.82", 0.7µm, PDAF

S25 Ultra Front Camera: 12 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/3.2", 1.12µm, dual pixel PDAF 

So it looks like S25 UItra Front Camera is down-graded.

Hi, I had a detailed discussion with Samsung technical expert, and they have finally asked me to return the product, stating it could be a faulty product. I am not going for replacement since I don't want such a type of experience again and have asked for a full refund. I have packed it back and started using my S22, which is still far better.
There is no point upgrading to this latest release when you don't get the improved quality.

 Terrible problem, I don't know what it comes from, I also suffered it. It helped me to restore the settings to factory

Facing same issue camera is not consistent.  Works good sometimes in bright light but as soon as little bit low light it takes very bad photos . Also filters some time works and sometimes doesn't.  The photos are totally different than what it looks on the selfie camera.

The first thing I searched on the internet after getting the s25 ultra. The front camera doesn't process the images as good as S22ultra.  Front camera is disgusting in s25ultra . S22 ultra is 40MP s25 ultra is 12MP what a joke

My s25ultra has bad quality front camera as well. I have s24 plus which has better skin tones. S25ultra photos are soft and blury.

I am having the same issue here. The front camera on the S25 Ultra is a major step back compared to the S22 Ultra front camera.

I can't get over how awful this camera is.

I hope it is just a software issue, and they find a way to fix it

As much as I hate to admit but disgusting is the word. Comparing side by side selfie photos taken with my S22Ultra makes me feel gutted. My selfie from S25Ultra came out looking like a mirror image with barely any filter or skin smoothing effect even though I have applied it. The photo also has grey cast to it and if anything it highlights the flaws even more. Absolutely disappointed with such a premium price phone.
