I just recently tested the camera of my Samsung Galaxy S25 (Navy Blue, 256Gb). Camera is version 15.0.01.71.
I printed out this focus chart and took some pictures with the 12MP, 50MP and 0.6x Ultrawide cameras. I also did the same test with the Huawei Mate 9 on the main camera (12MP and 20MP resolution).

Am I crazy to say that the Huawei Mate 9, a phone that's now 9 years old, took better photos than the Galaxy S25? I'm particularly disappointed with the Galaxy S25 Ultrawide camera, as it took an extremely blurry photo. I'm also quite concerned because I noticed in GSMArena's review of the Galaxy S25 that their unit was plagued by some kind of lens misalignment issue. Coincidentally, their unit was also navy blue 256GB model, same as my Galaxy S25.

Is anyone else having this issue with the Galaxy S25 (or even S25+) taking blurry photos, especially noticeable on the ultra-wide lens? I noticed that there are some blurry areas around the corners on the main camera on the S25, but not on the Mate 9. Every photo was taken with default autofocus on both phones. I really don't know what the issue might be, but the Galaxy S25 photos look worse. ☹️
