I just bought the ultra S25 after having the s21 for a few years and I am terribly disappointed. I already replaced the phone once because of dark camera. New phone camera selfies make s21 camera look like a beauty camera. No apps compare. I want to replace my phone but I didn't want iphone. I was hoping samsung would address, but they're not. And I checked other models.Many new phone cameras are horrible compared to the old. I'm surprised samsung would do this. Now I have to look at iphones, but I do like the ultra s25 size and features. But camera matters.

Yes, I replaced it yesterday. Camera pics look a bit brighter, but the skin tone coloring is horrible. No matter the adjustments.

They played with my phone at t mobile.They played with the phone at samsung and best buy. The settings don't matter.It is the camera phone quality. Why would they make the camera worse?

In optimization set to minimum also try using 12mp and 50mp in different settings to see how they work out
