improving my smartphone pics

[BananaBandit]

(I have a Samsung Galaxy M11  Android Version 10)

 

The pix i take with my smartphone are like 8 MB each.  And yet these pix are blurrier and have all-around poorer quality
than my wife's smartphone pix, which are like 400 KB each. 

 

Is there any way I can adjust my phone's camera?   And, if so, what are the specific steps?

Often it helps to clean the lens ☺️☺️☺️

That indeed sounds weird for a 13 MP camera. I have an A52 with 64MP sensor and pictures come out about 5 MB.

 

I would reset the camera settings.

Open camera, in the upper left push the settings symbol.

In the list there should be a "Reset settings".

13 MP will do no wonders but at least usable.

That on the other hand sounds antiquated.

Do you really look at the size on her camera/gallery app?

(not after sending via messenger or mail)

What camera is it?

Take a test picture

• in good daylight with the sun rather from behind (not glaring into the lens)
• steadying the phone by squeezing it against a lamp post, onto a wall etc.

If that pic comes out blurred, something may be broken.

Otherwise, as has been suggested, reset the camera settings.

Wife  said she has  iphone 6 plus

 

That's all the info I could get out of her.

That's actually not such a bad call.  I'll ask my wife to do it later today.
