Samsung releases the Expert RAW app for Galaxy S22 series
The Expert RAW app that gives you further control over the cameras of the Galaxy S21 Ultra is now available for the S22 family as well. Also, it's now officially out of beta. However, the new stable release is only available for the Galaxy S22 phones, at least for now.
The app itself supports Linear DNG 16-bit raw output and grants full control over all of the camera, including the HDR function. It's important to note that only Android 12 Samsung devices will get official non-beta support for the app in the future.
Samsung says the stable version of the app will arrive to the Galaxy S21 Ultra on March 7 while the Z Fold3 will get it sometime in April. The Galaxy S20 Ultra, Note20 Ultra and the Z Fold2 owners will have to wait a little bit more, but no longer than the first half of this year.
