Assuming you are holding the phone steady, it comes down to the shutter speed not being fast enough. Default auto mode algorithms differ between phone manufacturers, some might prioritize faster shutter speed for some noise at higher ISO, while some value cleaner images at the risk of blurred shots. I'm guessing Samsung is trying to keep ISO as low as possible. Due to the tiny sensors in these cameras and the small aperture lens particularly at the longer end (the reason why low light tele shots default to the main wide lens), the shutter speed has to be lengthened to keep ISO low, especially in lower light scenarios. You can set a faster shutter speed in pro/manual mode, but you'll have to crank up the ISO to get sufficient brightness.
