Re: Do you mean S22 or S22+

I have the S22+ which has 3X optical zoom and find that if I am too close to my subject I will get soft images.

You have to not be too close and also tap on the screen where you want the subject to be in focus.

I do find that the phone tends to smooth out skin a bit too much.  I'd like to see more texture.

Here's a 3X zoom in Portrait mode,with the background blue option.

I take a lot of flower and plant photos for which I find the 3X zoom very helpful.

I really would have preferred the 10X optical zoom and macro of the Ultra but did not want such a big phone or one with its curved sides.
