S21 Camera blurry?

[bustervic]

So I take a lot.of astrophotography snaps with my last 3 Samsung devices.  I've always had to adjust the manual focus a few stops back from max but with the S21 no matter what I choose half the photo is blurry. I find this completely unacceptable and can only think that there is a hardware fault with the camera?

I should be specific as well, this is only with the main lense in pro mode, when I use ultra wide its very crisp.

Edit: I am using a tripod, and my watch as the remote shutter. To be clear this only occurs when using the main lense in pro mode, not the ultra wide. So I know it's specific to that lense.

ok Samsung... there is no way this is not a hardware fault. I've been taking these shots for 5 years and never had this issue.
I'm including a series of photos, taken at 3 clicks down from infinite focus. 15 sec shutter, and gradually upping the ISO from 200 up to 1600. 200, 320, 500, 800 and 1600. The right half of every shot is blurry.
and for contrast I took a extra wide shot at the same setting and it's crystal clear.

update for anyone who cares or has a similar issue, apparently I need to wait for a software update...
I'm not sure how a software update is going to fix this issue and I personally think this is still a hardware fault

I'm kinda worried about continuing to get my family's phones, tablets & smartwatches etc from Samsung... the customer service I am seeing on here is almost as ineffective as what I experienced over the phone over the last 2 weeks and it's making me think about returning the thousands of $ worth of products I bought in the last month, and maybe giving another manufacturer a try. I can't afford to buy products the store or manufacturer can't/won't stand behind, at least for the first year or so.
