Front camera does not focus on infinity (landscape)

[Zeeplay9]

Greetings.

I am facing a camera issue.
Front camera does not focus on infinity (landscape). It keeps it focus on close range constantly, which why close-up photos are good, but I cant make it focus on ladscape. Photos become blurred, unfocused and overal - very poor quality.
Tried various camera modes, HDR, different camera apps, hard reset. Nothing helped.
Is it a camera driver issue or hardware problem? Phone was never dropped, overheated or anything else
Thank you for attention

@Zeeplay9

you said front camera

[Zeeplay9]

No, I was talking about focus problems of main camera (the 13mp one)

Lets try this again

1. Does the lens has scratches and/or its dirty?
2. are there any cracks near the camera?
3. does your phone has a case?
4. does the back has a protective film?

[Zeeplay9]

1. No, the lens are clean with no scratches
2. No cracks either
3. No, only front screen protecting glass
4. No, it does not

So you claim it to be software problem? I did hard reset already (via smartphone)

I will provide some of the photos taken already in various situations. On every photo you can clearly see that the focus is being "locked" on the front objects, despite that I am focusing on far targets. It keeps a close focus as in superior auto mode and in manual too.

 I am also providing you the comparison of the same scenery made with rear and front camera. As you can see, the rear one is blurred, and is focused on close asphalt in the lower part of the image
