I had the same initial reaction before I realized in most photos it's clear the foreground or background is in focus - that's just different from my prior phone, not faulty or bad. (The natural bokeh is quite attractive in a lot of photos to me, actually.) I do see what you mean about the macro type point and shoot though, the narrow focus explained above. I also tried with my hand and I can see how something like that is frustrating as it kept blurring the outer finger or two vs my other phone.
I've read several comments and posts about this basically say the same thing - the cameras are better, but different to what most of us have grown accustomed to in a cell phone. I am learning how to adjust my point and shoot [lack of] skill to work with it, like learning to rely on the better zoom the N20U offers. (I just used 10x to get clear words on paper further away vs using 1x close up - just new habits needed.)
I figured I'd run with the remote examples, and yes I'll clean the dang thing after seeing it like this.
(Cropped to match looking at the same area knowing these will degrade anyway when uploaded here.)
Attachment 1 N10+ held close
Attachment 2 N20U held close
Attachment 3 N20U pulled back a little (still 1x)
Attachment 4 N20U using the 2x zoom from further away
Great idea to compile some shots to compare! Attachment 4 wins my vote using the 2x zoom.
