Anyone else having terrible selfie video quality on the Galaxy S25 Ultra in low light?

Photos look completely fine, but selfie videos and video calls look washed out, flat, foggy and overly smoothed. It honestly looks terrible compared to the photo mode.

What’s weird is that GCam works MUCH better on the same phone under the same lighting conditions, so I don’t think it’s a hardware issue.

I already tried:

• factory reset
• disabling HDR10+
• disabling Auto FPS
• turning off all beauty filters
• Camera Assistant tweaks
• clearing camera cache/data

Nothing fixes it permanently. After One UI 8.5 it became good again for a while, then the issue randomly came back.

Rear camera is mostly fine. Problem is mainly selfie video and video calls.

Is Samsung applying some forced low-light AI processing that can’t be disabled?
