So ive searched this sub and others and havent found any help. Basically ive had note less than a month and the phone is unreal it is so damn amazing all the features except for the camera.
My photos come out so damn blurry and fuzzy in my apartment and i see people post photos in similar light and ambiance and they look phenomenal.
Does anyone know of a fix or do i have to live with this?

Mine two.. I tried cleaning the lens.. Idk seems like something fishy to me
Check to see if the little plastic covering is still on top of the lens. I had mine on for a week or so until I saw a post talking about it and then I realized it was still on. It blends in pretty well.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, sorry :(
Came to say the same thing. I had it about a week, was upset with the picture quality. Turned out I never took off the lens plastic protection piece.

If it isn't the plastic cover, make sure the auto focus is actually focusing. I had to return my first phone because the auto focus didn't kick in unless I gave the phone a sharp tap!
I had this problem too
Me, too. If your phone is not focusing automatically, replace it immediately.
Another one with that same problem, got a warranty replacement through tmobile because Samsung wanted 2-3 weeks turn around time to fix/replace it. The only problem was I couldn't just swap it out in store (within my 14 day return period) because they were perpetually out of the white one.
Wow, didn't know if I let it auto focus, pics looked better. But it does. Thank You!!
I believe lighting plays a big part in taking pictures with this phone. In low light all my pictures come out blurry but with enough lighting they come out crisp and detailed.
The middle pic is great. This is caused by a sharpening algorithm that Samsung uses. Alot of people here don't like it, and it's stupid.
We're limited as to what we can do, but you can change your iso to higher - the higher it is, the less noise /blur you will get but you sacrifice light. You can also try hdr mode (but then you are unable to manually adjust the iso).
What? Higher ISO means more noise...
Ahhhhhh you are correct.. My bad. So, the opposite thing surrounding the iso OP
I thought it just performed poorly in dim light. If it's supposed to be better than I have the same problem
Mine too. Force iso to 100 and exposure +2.
Some seem to have cleaner sensors at high iso.
Is hdr on? Helps on low light.
Middle pic looks great. Bottom one has terrible lighting, use flash and keep camera more still. Set the phone on something level like a table and compare a photo taken like that to one that you simply hold casually a few inches above the table. Try selective focus, picking a different element to be the focal point and different filters based on your bulb type in that room. Use a few differing angles on your subject and keep the best photo out of several attempts. Even photographing still art or food depends on many factors for coming out looking good, let alone cats. Multiple pictures will increase your odds of a gem
Just because the camera has high megapixels doesn't mean every photo will be worth keeping. A cursory course in digital photography would never hurt.
