There's no doubt that Samsung is getting more and more involved in its smartphone cameras. The company has developed many innovations, such as new sensors and lenses, but in addition to the hardware side of things, it has also introduced new applications and functions that improve the photographic experience, especially on high-end devices Galaxy. These are, for example, Camera Assistant and Expert RAW.
Camera Assistant
This "camera assistant" is a module of the Good Lock app that brings several customizable features to the basic Camera app and was created for the One UI 5.0 update. Initially, it was only available for devices Galaxy S22, but the company recently expanded its availability to other high-end phones Galaxy (you can find the list <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>). It offers several features that you won't otherwise find in the Camera app. These are in particular:

Camera Assistant vs. Expert RAW
