I updated my S21 FE snapdragon variant to One UI 6, and noticed some major issues in camera quality. The camera quality is just totally degraded in new update. The image processing is just worse. Attached are some sample. The photos are way too boosted. Feels totally un-natural. Edge detection in portrait image is also worsen in this update. Look at the image of my dog. The focus is now hit or miss, light on the subject is also bad now. Took multiple shots even with focusing on subject but not major improvement.

Bro I can't say about the portrait mode but the sky shots have different scenarios, the scene and everything is different so you can't compare which one is better but you can check if scene optimisation is on or not, it should be off if you want a raw image.

I understand that. Both of the photos are taken at different times but with scene optimisation turned on. And both scenes in reality aren't that different. Which is exactly my point. The post processing has changed drastically. Even with new update of one UI 6 which I got yesterday, portrait shots are not at all improved. Also image stabilization has got a hit. Earlier I didn't had to think twice of how portrait will turn out in One UI 5. Now I am hesitant to take portrait shots. 

Some portrait shots which I took today. Look at the stabilization and Bokeh.

I can't say about portrait mode now because they are working on that but for the scene you mentioned first, as a photographer I can say that there is a lot of difference, also you can check settings maybe you can find answers there.
