App build number: 20410000

Device: Xiaomi POCO X3 PRO
Installation source: F-Droid

On either the Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap the zoom levels update very late which results in a very pixelated and low resolution map most of the time.

Related to #1223 ?

It seems like when using rasterised tiles (which we do for OSM layers), there's a balance between text size and pixellation / quality. Some people want smoother images, others want bigger fonts. We added a scale factor setting that should allow this to be tweakable.

Can you try fiddling with osmTileScaleFactor in the config editor to see if that helps? Values <1.0 should mean less pixellation (but smaller text).
