Not a troll post...
Unpopular opinion. This is something that Samsung needs to fix with a software update for the camera app and sensor in general. I am posting this to help.
I have 20/5. The same as an eagle's vision. For those who don't know, it's better than 20/20 vision. Not trying to brag.
I recently started trying to use the 200M back camera on my brand new S25 Ultra with the most recent software updates and Android version. And I cannot do it. The image quality is absolutely terrible. Why?
Every single shot I take is overexposed and the colours appear brighter than they actually are. For example, an object that is solid red will appear to be almost orange!
Even with basic portraits, the shocking lack of colour accuracy is so awful that I cannot edit it with any photo editing software to be true-to-life, so to speak. Every time I try with literally any setting, it ends up ruining the background or part of the subject in the photo that makes the image even worse than it was originally when taken with the S25 Ultra. I tried with pro settings, with literally every configuration I know of, and the result was never better, only even less accurate than before.
On the contrary, my old S21 5G, which is 4 years old takes much better pictures.
The colour accuracy is significantly better with the S21 Ultra camera, almost exactly the same as real life, and I can easily edit the photo to be perhaps 95% the same as real life. As a matter of fact, I have fooled some photographers who thought the photos I took with my S21 5G (edited) were taken with a professional mirrorless camera.
For reference, I've attached two photos of the same object. A simple object in my washroom. The S25 Ultra camera fails this test miserably. Settings on both smartphone cameras were reverted to "default" so I have not changed any settings. Therefore, this is a fair comparison.
Please fix this, Samsung. Do a software update for the camera to allow for auto HDR and a feature that automatically adjusts for colour accuracy. There is so much potential here for better image quality, and your developers seriously failed here.
