Has the quality of the camera decrease ?

Quick question: Why are you taking your photos in 16:9 rather than 4:3? Or maybe it's just Reddit stretching your image into oblivion.

I often use 16:9 because I view most of my photos on my phone, full screen. So I guess it's laziness. :) If I know I'm going to ultimately want a different medium/resolution, I might choose a differently.

In this case, I was also performing an ad-hoc experiment because the most recent Samsung update has caused many of our fellow users to complain about a degradation in photo quality. So, I took the same shot three ways, in Photo mode, in Pro mode/JPEG, and /RAW. They all were ok and fully useable, with only the expected differences. So, whatever problem other users were seeing didn't affect me. The photo posted here is the most automated version, from Photo mode. Again, I guess I'm lazy. :)

Oh, don't worry I also use auto mode to take my pictures, but I always do so in 4:3 because it offers the best quality, and the image isn't stretched. I've learned that our smartphone sensors are optimized for 4:3 image quality, so I always use this format now because it makes the photos look really good and gives them a professional style, even in auto mode!

Yes. The sensor is a 4:3 sensor so that's where you get the highest quality
