I’m facing a very specific and frustrating issue with my Galaxy S24 5G camera performance, particularly related to photo optimization.
Unlike previous models like the S20 FE 5G and S23 5G, which improve image quality after optimization, the S24 5G does the opposite. Even when Scene Optimization is ON, the camera fails to enhance photos. In fact, after optimization, the image becomes noticeably worse — blurry, dull, and lacking detail, especially in challenging or zoomed-in shots like Moon photography.
I’ve tried multiple times with optimization ON and OFF, but the result is either the same or sometimes even worse when optimization is enabled. This makes me feel like optimization is either broken or poorly implemented in the S24 5G software.
I would like to know:
1. Is this a known issue with the Galaxy S24 5G?
2. Is it happening on all S24 units or just specific ones?
3. Is there any permanent solution or upcoming update planned to fix this camera behavior?
It's quite disappointing that the flagship S24 5G underperforms in areas where older or slightly lower-tier models do better. As a dedicated Samsung customer, I expect consistency and improvement, not degradation.
Please escalate this to the appropriate development team and let me know if there’s any fix coming or if I need to visit a service center.

Samsung is always escaping rather fixing the issue. They simply ask for logs but after that a one line response I received as investigating. But no progress even after multiple followups. I also had a word with customer support and logged a complaint with proofs. But nothing happened till today. The issue still exists.
