I had an s22 and rear camera was amazing. With s25 I am going through the below issues. Any comments? 

 
1. Focus is an issue off the bat even for static objects. Mostly noticed with indoor shots. Also guess the composition has changed for sure with this phone, I see more of warm shots than cool even if set to original mode.
 
2. I guess due to the focus issue, I see some parts of the pictures blurry or rather lack of sharpness. This can also be seen in social apps while taking pictures. 
 
I tried disabling the scene optimizer, reset camera, no 3rd party interferences, lens is clean. Front camera works beautifully but the issue is with rear camera.

I've had this same problem with my S25 ultra, the images seem poor in comparison to my last S22 ultra

The images look very poor in comparison to my last S23+.

Looks like this is going to be my last Samsung phone. Not my preference to downgrade camera with every release. Good luck to them!

Just upgraded from an S21 Ultra to an S25 Plus.  My first photos out of the box are blurry! Photos from the S21 were so much better.  I'm so disappointed; I use my phone mostly for taking pictures.  I've always loved Galaxy phones, but this is unacceptable.  I hope there is a software fix.

During the daytime or night when zooming in white pixels show throughout the video or picture. Possible glitches maybe.

Same. I might eventually go for Apple since I don't want a wannabe copy of that, which isn't even functioning as it should.
