Galaxy A51, problems with focusing using the default camera

[userBNDVfVNoyB]

The title says it all.

No problems with any other camera, they all work fine. 

Very rare times that the normal camera focuses.

When using the Pro mode, the camera doesn't even reac to the adjustments of the focus manually.

I notice lots of heat as well, but not to the point that it's concerning but think that also a good info to include.

All the software are up to date.

Tried restarting, cleaning the lens, resetting the camera settings. No result.

I have the same issue. I even tried resetting the whole phone. Nothing worked. I filed a report but never heard anything back.

The camera on my A51 is also terrible. it won't focus and all my pictures worse than pictures taken on a 5MP flip phone.
