Next time buy a Snapdragon powered phone, run from MTK no matter the specs and number of cameras
(unless your money no reach)

It is same thing on Snapdragon too. I had a xiaomi 8a,i notice same thing with it. The only issue is like that with only the native camera app, I still get good shots out of my gcam.

Hope u didn't allow the face of your phone get rough. If you don't protect your screen, it can affect the quality of your selfie shots too.

Check the back of your phone, is the back screen scratched? I have noticed that some one us don't maintain our back cover and screen area. It affects the camera.

I use Samsung Note 8. Anytime my camera either selfie or back camera is dirty, it notifies me to clean them before taking any shots.

It is true, though I don't know the science behind it.
I think what happens is that, as you use the phone, the surface of the phone get scratches making it a bit blurry.

Sensors get weak over time. The weaker the sensor, the quicker it starts going bad.

My cousin uses iPhone x....he can't use his phone to snap again ..is very blurred now.... And the phone is still very neat, he bought it new in 2019

Wat I think is, when new iOS is out and u update it, iPhone automatically reduces the power of the camera to make u buy the new products

Same thing happened to my Samsung s6, when I first bought the phone, the camera was sharp but with time, the camera fades away

I don't even want to talk about Tecno or infinix because the problem is more common with them

So, I concluded that ur camera was not made to serve u forever, with time, it fades away even s10 camera too fades

this is normal, it would fade overtime, not only the camera, the battery life too, if u buy new clothes, u wash, u wear, overtime, u can't expect the clothes to be brand new again.

If you have a good phone and your camera still fades, it's probably dust or scratches. We hardly think about these things.

It didn't fade. It's just dirty and scratches on the lens.

There's a fungi that grows on lens that blurs it,
From smudges, makes it look hazy not clear, try cleaning your camera glass with acetone, pure alcohol or spirit.

First you can’t get new iPhone X in 2019
Secondly except the phone is faulty , iPhone X camera can never be blurry.. even iPhone 7 Plus camera is still very sharp and clear ..

Speaking based on experience as a phone Photographer. Some don't maintain the camera. U need to clean the surface of ur phone camera regularly. Don't make it expose to dust. And also b4 u take a shot. Tap where u want ur focus so as to get a clear and sharp shot. Pictures below are recent pics taken with my Tecno spark 4 I av been using since sep last year. Still as sharp as new

@op I’ll say that’s common with andriod.

I used iPhone 7plus and X until may this year , nothing wrong with them ..



But try and clean the lens if possible maybe with spirit and Colton wool
