Poor iPhone 11 camera quality or photos app bug?

So I'm on my second iPhone 11. The first took some very dull photos that looked as though they were airbrushed. I swapped it out and long behold, this guy is no different. Here's what I noticed though. If I open a new photo I take, it's very dull and blurry. If I zoom in and back out on that very same photo, it clears up and looks fantastic. All new photos I take do this. I'll post some examples of my yard I took. I've seen various threads from people talking about awful quality from their cameras and am beginning to wonder if its solely software related. I also have an XR with the same O.S build installed and it does the EXACT same thing. Blurry initial photos, but clear up when zoomed in and out.

The Camera quality is a hit or miss. It’s great if you use it for landscape pictures. But for selfies... just don’t unless you want some insecurities, it will show every pores, pimples, and blackheads. You’re better off using an app like Snapchat to get a good selfie. Besides that it also sucks with exposure. I FaceTime every day so if it’s too bright like when the sun is on you or you use a flash, you look like a faceless monster!
