Color quantization artifacts are often visible, as on the ceiling here. Color is accurate. with pleasant skin tones under a variety of lighting conditions. The S21’s ultra-wide camera is indeed ultra wide, with a measured focal length shorter than most of the competition, so you can fit a lot of any scene into a single frame.

The wide angle camera of Samsung S21 Ultra is generally very good, under good light, it renders sharp, pleasing images. The fine details and contrast are not as good as the main camera, you can clearly see the difference in quality. However, all the flaws are well controlled, you don't see ...

May 5, 2024 - Just recently got the S21 and I'm so disappointed with the camera. The photos it takes are grainy, blurry, low quality and look like something a phone in 2008 would've taken. My S8 took much better quality photos, even in poor lighting.

Natural selfies are now even more enhanced as a result of AI Restoration and Studio-level Lighting. The Galaxy S21 Series not only restores blurred details in low light, but they also clear blemishes while maintaining the skin tone and texture. ... Step 1. Go to Camera.

October 22, 2023 - Yes I have had the s21+ for 2 years now and agree at the bad quality of its camera.
