Telephoto camera just went bad after Android 13 update on S21 FE. Now shoots washed our and patchy shots. It was great earlier in A12. 
When you switch from Main camera to Telephoto camera, for a second or 2, it works perfect and then smashes the image. Attached a video explaining the issue 
Look how switching from main camera to Telephoto changes quality. Sometimes its good some times its bad.

Have you tried this in good lighting? It seems the camera is switching to main cam. It has happened in some phones earlier.

Tried clearing cache of camera app?

Yes. No matter what the lighting conditions are, same results. More over it was excellent in Android 12. This behaviour is only after Android 13.
Yes. Cleared App Data of camera. Still same results. I found older discussions about same behaviour this is community. Looks like lot of them have this.
