You’ll pretty much never get a good picture of the moon without a tripod and 1-2s exposure paired with at least a compact zoom lens. The problem is that the moon is super bright against the sky so you have to bring your exposure way down to compensate. On a phone, it’s pretty much lost all the useful info it normally uses to fake a good result. Zoom in at all and bye bye quality.
My OnePlus 13 seems to have a moon mode where it detects you’re taking a photo of the moon, so it lowers the exposure a bunch. Of course, since Samsung did it, I can’t trust that it isn’t just swapping it for a saved image of the moon of course.
