why are the cameras so terrible?

[AC Question]

My galaxy s7 has the worst camera ever. My s3 was far better. Pictures on both cameras are fuzzy and do not pick up fine details.
No the film is not on the camera. No there is not a fingerprint or oil on the cameras.

Are you using a case? If you have not tried yet my 1st step is always to do a hard reset of my phones if I start having explainable issues. Have you tried sending the pictures to a computer to see if it is the screen or the camera?

Have you removed the plastic cover that comes on the lense?

It's not that bad. Not the best but not awful either. A lot of detail in photos were lost when Samsung lowered the Mega Pixels after the s6 but gained in other factors instead. I was disappointed with the cameras on my s7 and s7 edge but they were still great phones. I'm still a bit dissapointed with them on the s8 Plus I had and regular s8 I have now but the front camera has seen a vast improvement. Again the cameras are good... just not the best.

I actually think my S7 takes great pictures. I set it on HDR and snap away with outdoor shots and I get great pictures. If there's a lot of motion or action, I'll turn the camera to auto to avoid any motion blur.

Try taking a RAW shot

Samsung’s NR can be quite aggressive

Hmmm... Not much wrong with mine...
