HDR quality and Responsiveness of new S25 Ultra Cameras much worst now

[iam_joshua_bcxvii]

Soo, ive been using the s25U since it arrived on my house on Feb 4. But cant help but notice that video quality and responsiveness in HDR is sooo much worst and slower than in s24u which is more responsive. See attached footage below.

As you can see, it took 15 seconds here, all the while in my old s24u, it will take less than 3 seconds and at a better quality.😐 This is shot using the main cam btw.

Now talking about the new ultrawide, I took some photos side by side with my old s24u with s25u. The s24u produced a much sharper image than my newer s25u. What the hell is happening?. Is it just me?, or my unit has a factory defect and need to return it?

See attached pictures below

See the difference in clarity?. 

3rd, despite integrating gemini and google assistant, calling either handsfree is nearly impossible. Sometimes it would seem to listen to you as gemini window would appear, only for it to not recognize anything at all. I tried doing the same voice commands even from a far. My s24u would always recognize my voice even from far away. But in s25u, I am already screeming at the top of my lungs on mic at the top of the phone, but handsfree voice command wont trigger most of the time!.😐

I noticed this too with my S25 Ultra. Hopefully Samsung releases a fix for this soon. I'm also facing another issue which are delayed notifications when the phone is locked, are yoy experiencing this too?

this one nope, i dont notice it, i do in one of the games i am playing, but it also exist back in my s24u, so i guess just a game issue.

But if this if something that could be fixed in a firmware update, i hope so soon. Because if not, I would regret upgrading from S24U to S25U.

handsfree voice command also finally worked fine after the recent firmware update seen in this ss.

UPDATE:
Issues were fixed even without a firmware update. Apparently, when migrating from an S24U to an S25U through Smart Switch, this may have triggered the corrupted footages and very slow exposure adjustments. When I cleared the camera app's cache and data, everything went as smoothly as my old S24U.

Very slow exposure adjustment is gone, and now it mostly gets the color rendition correct, even zooming in and out. Low-light performance shows no more lag, and the jittery videos in 60fps that made them seem like they were recorded in 30fps are gone too. Maybe Samsung could ensure this issue won't appear for others, as not everyone has the time to debug this. Good thing someone messaged me on Facebook saying his is okay, and I was able to deduce what must have been different between his and my setup. 😐

Also, this may have been the first time I ever cleared the cache and data of my default camera app for the phone. Because, I mean, seriously? How did that contribute to the very bad footages before?.

Oh forgot,still have the issue when calling the handsfree voice assistant. 🫠 Still not sure how to fix that one.
