Hey there, I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with my phone (Zenfone8). As you can see, the picture is alright but when I use the zoom the picture goes all pixelated (uploaded in a comment) I change the camera module but it still does the same :(

Any clue/help please…?

EDIT I rebooted the phone to stock settings and the camera is acting the way it ought to…very weird. I guess there was some apps the camera didn’t like…

    Yeah but who wants to carry around a case of lenses for just taking random snapshots on their phone?

        It sort of defeats the whole purpose of having a camera on your phone if you still have to carry around a camera bag full of lenses though doesn’t it?

          Probably, but what’s the option again? 1, crap pictures; 2, carry lenses; 3, buy a dedicated digital camera and carry that around

            I usually just use the crop feature to zoom in on the picture after I take it and just select the part I wanted. Seems to work pretty well. I have a Motorola that wasn’t particularly expensive.

              That works but only so far. Better optics will always yield a better image.
