Can LRC fix the issues with this Samsung Expert Raw Photo?

Question

20251013_125743.jpg

If you look at the photo above (the DNG created in RAW mode looks identical), you'll see a lot of artifacts in the tree leaves and the ground texture. I've use LRC before, but not in the past couple of years. Was thinking of resubscribing - in part to deal with a few shoots that came out like this from the past year. Is LRC going to be able to do anything to help with this, or do I need to just presume I'm SOL on these shots?

Agreeing that this is the fault of the camera, and unlikely that any photographic software editing can fix this.

I tried Samsung Expert RAW and quickly gave up on it. In my opinion, taking the photos with the Lightroom Mobile app on your Samsung phone produces far few artifacts and nicer photos. Here is a photo taken with my Samsung S23 using the Lightroom Mobile app, it was taken indoors and denoised in LrC, I think you will like the quality of this photo. Here is a photo taken outside using the same phone and using the LrC Mobile App, there are no artifacts like there are in your image.
