Pro tip: Someone told me my phone pics were all washed out

A buddy of mine saw some photos I took at a job site and straight up said "dude turn off HDR on your phone, everything looks fake." So I dug into my camera settings on my Samsung and turned off the auto HDR and motion smoothing. Now the wood grain on decks and the color of wet concrete actually look real instead of that weird oversharpened look. Has anyone else had better luck just dialing back the automated camera features?

Man that auto HDR makes everything look like plastic!

Buddy of mine said the same thing, @holly_gonzalez61, after he got a new TV.
