x-bo model N730

Need help please. Son bought me a smartphone (did tell him not to spend a lot on one because I mainly wanted for taking pictures of receipts for cashback site). Problem is, it does not take clear images. Camera is 5 million pixels. Anybody know if I can improve the images. TIA

  • Don't take this the wrong way but, if the phone is new (Christmas?), you have peeled the plastic film off the lens, haven't you?

    Wouldn`t take anything the wrong way because it is something I would probably miss but I had that thought this morning (quick I`m not) and could not see any extra film covering the outside of the lens. Have taken off the descriptive cover.

    Have tried downloading the above but it won`t let me do it. Wonder if it because I have no credit on phone yet so will try it later.
