There is so much I like about this phone, but yes I agree, the camera is a disappointment, coming from Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S4 before that.
It has some nice toggles and settings and Graphy, very Pro features. But I get 1 great looking photo, for every 10 or 20 that I shoot.
It's possible that I don't know how to use it yet, to keep it steady better, or maybe need to play with more controls.
The camera on Galaxy was so dependable that I looked forward to snapping photos and knew I'd get great ones 90% of the time and felt great to know memories would be saved to see again later.
On the V30+ I don't really even bother anymore. Definitely hoping this will change. Odd because I must have watched 20 reviews on YouTube that gushed about the camera.
I' have taken one or two great crisp wonderful looking photos though, so there must be a way to get that kind of result more often.
No you just suck at taking photos and the camera's automatic mode is terrible. For that photo you should have opend manual mode, crank down the ISO to say 200 and open the aperture some more and hold the phone very still when taking the photo would have taken less than 20 seconds. Its great in low light if you know what you are doing. Automatic pictures are NEVER going to be good.
Ye but I'm no photographer, I know nothing about aperatures and ISO and manual controls and having been taking wonderful photos for years, with no effort or thought at all, on Samsung devices. I've taken some stellar sunsets beyond blackened trees in manual mode where I made the sky look blue and purple.
But everything else was automatic mode and it looked spectacular.
