Yesterday I went for a walk to enjoy autumn at its peak and decided to learn more about how to take good photos, specifically regarding composition. Here is a panorama that was breathtaking (picture 1).

After cleaning the lens of my phone, I decided to take a picture with Expert RAW at 50MP, but the problem is that my S25 Ultra did not take the photo as expected, mostly because there are so many details and colors that the result looks like a mess. I took many photos with Expert RAW by adjusting the EV, but the results were inconsistent. the same.

Meanwhile, my girlfriend's iPhone 16 took a better photo than mine without using Expert RAW, manual settings, or anything

I Right after taking the landscape photo, I tried to take a quick selfie at the exact same spot, and this was the result (Image 2). I tried everything to improve the quality or at least get rid of the heavy blur and harsh glare - changing spots, shifting my position, switching between Expert RAW and auto mode, adjusting the EV... but nothing worked

Is this normal ? What am I doing wrong, and how can I get clean, natural photos on the S25 Ultra?
