S22 ultra camera quality degrading with updates?

[av04]

Does anyone else feel that Samsung has intentionally degraded the quality of 10x camera of S22 ultra with updates? 

Nowadays my 10x lens just captures overprocessed grainy pics (even in broad daylight) that looks like digital zoom as opposed to optical zoom. When the phone was new, the picture quality and processing was great. Now it is unusable. 

It feels like Samsung is intentionally forcing S22 users to upgrade to s24/25 by degrading the camera quality.

Did some analysis.. it looks like based on certain conditions(ambient light, object to focus, if there is glass in front, etc).. software automatically switches to 3x lens and digitally zooms to get 10x zoom. In this case, image quality becomes **bleep**.

Solution: Download camera assistant app and turn off 'auto lens switching'. This looks to be working fine in my initial testing.. will update if I find anything new..
