S25 Ultra Camera Malfunction?

[Knavely]

When I take a photo with the S25 Ultra using the 1X lens, the picture label shows it was taken in wide-angle 23 mm. The photos also appear slightly blurry despite holding the phone very steady. Anyone else having this issue with the S25U camera?

Thank you. The same thing happens on my S25 Ultra.

1x is Wide angle. 0.6x is ultra wide ..

Ok. So, the default 1X lens takes a wide angle, 23 mm picture. It was not labeled as such on my S23U. Guess that's what confirmed me. Thanks.

EDITED: Yes, I was having the same problem. 1X on the main camera is wide and I didn't realize that since I have a Pixel 7 Pro, which only has ultrawide. I took pictures of my husband and son in bright indoor kitchen lighting and their faces were blurry, the background was fine, but with a yellow tinge to it. I then took the same pictures with my Pixel 7 Pro and the facial pictures were perfect. I took pictures of my dudes again on the S25 Ultra, set on 2x, after reading this post... and they are overly yellow and so was my tan colored woodwork in my kitchen. The facial pictures are overly smoothed out, but passable. I still like my Pixel for people photos. However, the S25 is much better at filming with the video stabilization. Outdoor photos are better. I also missed Dolby Atmos and the Pixel doesn't have that. The speed of the Elite chip is impressive, but I miss the Bluetooth S pen and what it was capable of. (I have that on my S7+ tablet). An audiobook takes seconds to load, whereas on other cellphones, it was minutes. I'm still keeping my Pixel 7 Pro, since I prefer the facial photos on it. Win some, lose some. If I could take the best of Pixel and the best of the Ultra... what a fantastic beast of a cellphone that would be!

I agree with you. My S24 Ultra took much better indoor photos.
