Which app are you using to view them? There are lots of different gallery apps on Android, so you can try downloading a few to see if there are any you like. Generating thumbnails would be done by which ever app you're using, so different apps might work differently. Some might be more efficient at the thumbnail generation and/or the retaining of a cache. If you're using the file system manager a lot with the photos, then that too has 3rd party alternatives that might handle their caches differently.

I have always used Samsung phones and tablets, so I do use their gallery app, but I've also used Piktures and F-Stop Gallery as local gallery apps. (I'm sure other people have their favourites.) Other than Samsung's file manager, I also use X-plore, but I know Solid Explorer and Total Commander are also some favourites.

Alternatives might not be any better, but it's something you can try to see if the experience is any different.

Something to consider. Currently I have removed almost all 3rd party apps so I can delay the problem and use  the Samsung app which works great minus the thumbnail problem.  I am reluctant to ad anything that takes more memory but I ll look around at reviews.

I was hoping for a simple solution out of the box but it appears there is not one.
