[Xperia X] Camera autofocus or picture sharpness seems non-optimal

First the good parts, the pictures taken with Sony Xperia X are much better than previous Jolla 1/C at least in regards to color reproduction.

However, while on first glance the pictures look quite a bit better, but when you inspect them a bit closer (like zooming slightly) they're quite blurry.

To me it seems like camera's autofocus doesn't choose optimal setting, because when I manually tap the screen to refocus there seems to be a sharper version before it settles to what is chosen for taking the picture with.

But I don't know about the details of camera magic. All I know is that I've compared pictures taken in same conditions with Sony Xperia X, Jolla C and some Huawei Android phone. The Huawei produced crisp detailed picture. Jolla C provided what it could, but it was crispier in details though more grainy than Xperia X. Xperia X gave good color reproduction but the picture was blurry, like it was slightly out of focus.

Since the camera in this device should be top-notch, I'll categorize this as a bug. But it'd be good to hear other's experiences as there's possibility it's just a problem with my device.

I should note that the pictures I've compared with so far have been in-doors, so that may play part.
