I just bought a Fold 3 and I am shocked by the sub standard quality of the photos from the underdisplay camera. I've never seen anything like it in the last 12 years. They are blurry and granular. Details are totally lost when you even zoom in a little. Is this how it is? Has anyone experienced this? 

PS: I did clear the camera cache but that didn't make any difference. 

Thanks

@userculENO1MDT The underdisplay camera is only 4MP. It is there primarily for video conferencing where high resolution isn't a huge requirement. 

Using the selfie camera on the outer display results in a much better picture. Or you can even use the rear cover for selfies which is even better. 

To use the rear camera for a selfie:

  1. With the Fold 3 closed, open the Camera
  2. Click the word Selfie in upper right
  3. Unfold the camera and hold the back of the camera towards you. You will see the preview on the outer display.
