During the launch of its 2022 flagship, the Galaxy S22 series, Samsung also highlighted one key app called Expert RAW. Although this is not a new app from Samsung, it isn’t available for any device, but it can be installed on the Galaxy S22 series.
The Expert RAW app has been available in beta for the Galaxy S21 Ultra since November last year. The company confirmed officially that it will bring the Expert RAW app to more devices starting on February 25th.
Now the tentative list of the first devices to receive this Expert RAW app is available. According to an official post by a Samsung official, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2, will receive the app in the first half of 2022.
As far as the stable version of Expert RAW for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is concerned, it will receive the app in March 2022. To be specific, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will receive the app in April.
However, it seems like you can install the Expert RAW app on your Galaxy S21 Ultra from any third-party source and it will work just fine without any hiccups.
The Expert RAW app works with all cameras on the Galaxy S21 Ultra
The minimum hardware requirements for Samsung phones to run the Expert RAW app include Exynos 990/Snapdragon 865 or higher processor, 8GB RAM, and a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and Bayer RAW support.
Moreover, the official also noted that unfortunately, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy Note 20 aren’t supported. This is because the telephoto lens on these phones doesn’t offer 2x optical zoom.
Expert RAW is a powerful tool, especially for photographers, as it gives them plenty of room to play around with the images and create the desired output.
It gives the user access to some advanced shooting features, full manual camera controls, HDR multi-frame capture support, and even lets you save images in JPEG and DNG RAW formats.
The Expert RAW app also integrates with Adobe Lightroom. This will let users directly open the RAW images in the app for final edits. The Expert RAW app works with all four cameras on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
The same is the case with the newly launched Galaxy S22 flagship. Overall, with the help of the Expert RAW app, you can fine-tune the images captured using a Galaxy phone. You can apply effects and enhance details.
