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.

I just realized I don't want to share my personal selfies, but I'll take some of my cat. Doesn't matter all the cameras in the store were the same. Even if lighting is brighter, skin tone and coloring is not vibrant. Everything has green tone. Compared to s twenty one it's awful

Again, you have to look at the selfies. And you have to compare. If you are not strong with taking selfies, you won't notice.

Why did you reply to yourself? Anyway, if the S25U is that unsatisfactory, return it for a refund if you are still with the return window (15 days to return, no questions asked from the day it is delivered). I then recommend getting the Pixel 10 Pro XL or even the Oneplus 13.

๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’ you gotta be doing something wrong in the settings because my s25 ultra camera is insane!! Wanting an iPhone is a downgrade since all apple does anymore since jobs died is copy samsung ๐Ÿ™„ try the settings or maybe your case is over shadowing the lenses or it could just be faulty

Again as I thoroughly explained, I had a S21. The selfie camera is perfect with skin tone. The ultra s25 FRONT CAMERA is horrible with skin tone. I'm a woman of color. And it clearly different. But you can google and see the multiple complaints. From people of color taking selfies on a new Samsung.

And i'm not doing anything wrong. I've been thoroughly my communication. Clearly people aren't listening. But you can google. Simple. Even google says the camera quality compared to the older phones is horrible, but you'd have to know the older phone and be a selfie.Taker with skin tone to complain.

Meantime, I am going to take back the samsung ultra 25 if I don't find a good camera app. I paid cash for this phone and too much for the downgrades and the lack of front camera quality that google explains isn't satisfactory.
