So I recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S22, which I loved, but the battery was dying remarkably fast after just 3 years of average use, to the new Samsung Galaxy S25, which is great in all respects except for one - the camera seems to be significantly worse than that of the S22. From my research it seems to be merely a software difference (the S25 applies AI-brushing to photos automatically and that cannot be turned off), because the camera hardware on the S25 is either the same or better in specs. See the attached photo comparisons of the same pieces of art photographed with my S22 (OLD - TOP) and S25 (NEW - BOTTOM), some are more zoomed in than others and some don't show a huge difference but it should be clear that the new S25 has significantly less detail due to AI-smoothing, and the coloration is less appealing especially in darker lighting. See especially the last photo below.

The old S22 camera was fantastic and took delightfully sharp and detailed photos - the new S25 does not, but my question is whether I might expect some sort of software fix to this problem in the near future or should I just return my phone? I really only care about battery, camera, and decent processing speed in a phone, and I don't like large phones, I would keep my S22 forever if it wasn't for battery but that's unviable and getting a new S22 seems unwise due to lack of ongoing software updates support, so I am really feeling like I don't have a good option within the Samsung world to get everything I am looking for and although I am loath to switch back to Apple after 6 years I am thinking that might be the thing to do due to this abysmal AI camera ... The S22 camera system wasn't broke, and they certainly didn't fix it. The S25 battery is stellar, the speed is terrific, and the AI features are great, but a good camera is imo an indispensable element of any phone, especially an expensive flagship model, and the S25 Ultra is both too big and too expensive for my liking -- can anyone advise me whether I might expect fixes or updates to this counterproductive and undesirable AI photography software, or am I really going to switch to an iPhone 16? Wish I could tailor-make a phone with everything the S25 has but the S22 camera system.
