Just upgraded S25U Disappointed in camera. Help?

[SeanSh]

Just upgraded from S22U to the S25U and I'm actually extremely disappointed. I look Hella PALE in all photos. When I do video calls on WhatsApp it makes me look like I wear makeup. Something must be wrong with the device. Unless everyone experiencing the same? 

I might just return it if that's the case.

If that appears as stated in WhatsApp, then that is more than likely a WhatsApp issue, not the Samsung camera. Be sure WhatsApp is updated.

Check the S25U display settings in the settings. Look at the screen mode settings & test different ones. Turn off Adaptive mode if that is toggled on. Then check the images that look white.

It's definitely the device camera. Not a WhatsApp issue.

Yeah, I bought the base S25. What a heap. Fixed my S23 Ultra and I'm back to being happy.

[SeanSh]

Terrible!

[Dj48625]

Yeah, it's really cheap feeling. Feels like a $80 phone, not $850.

Camera blows chunks too.

[SeanSh]

I feel the same. My S22ULTRA Feels and looks more premium. Why did they do it? Im so sad.

@SeanSh You should try going into Camera settings -> Intelligent optimization and set it to Minimum. You may also want to turn off Scene optimizer.

That is actually. Not only before or after capturing photos. I have done a few video calls on several apps and it all looks very pale and weird . I'm a male and it makes me look like I throw 2lb of makeup on my face
