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…

    If you want better pictures get an aftermarket lens, the reasonably priced ones just clip on to the phone. You’d use the lens to zoom in, not the app.

      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.

        I don’t have that phone, but the clips are supposed to be universal. In theory any would work.
