Very low resolution portal pictures

Why are new picture submissions in a horrible low resolution? Those are recent submits with a decent phone.
And the original pictures look like this
I get it that it's not practical to download 4MB picture for all the portals but the examples I showed are horrible compared to originals.
Then again some pictures look okay taken with the same phone, on the same day with the same camera settings, like this
This one looks okay

This is why I recomend taking photos in 4:3 instead of 16:9 or whatever aspect ratio your camera defaults to.
Prime does really bad job trying to fill portal key rectangle with the portal picture. It cuts pictures from top and bottom...
yeah change the aspect ratio when taking pics, probably thats the issue.
Which is odd because redacted preferred 16:9 to 4:3.
You can still access the original pics through IITC so they're still saved somewhere.
Ingress uses landscape format. Pokemon Go uses portrait format. If the image is in one and the game uses the other, you get the results as seen in the OP. Using 4:3 minimizes the amount of zooming and cropping by either game.
