In 2021, Samsung launched the Expert RAW app to enhance photography on Galaxy devices. It was first launched on Galaxy S21 Ultra, and later, it slowly came to other Galaxy devices. Undoubtedly, after this amazing app’s launch, the user experience with a camera has doubled. Thanks to its plenty of advanced features anyone can take pro-level photos. It allows us to unlock the full potential of our smartphone camera. With this app, we can capture photos in 16-bit RAW, which results in far better images.
Overall, Expert RAW is the app you simply can’t avoid on your Galaxy phone. If it is that important for your photography or videography, then why is it not available on your smartphone?
You may have this question, too You have purchased one of the best mid-range phones like Galaxy A73, Galaxy A55, or Galaxy S23 FE, but still, you don’t get the Expert RAW app on your device.
Well, I will explain why it is only supported on some flagship models but not on others.
Here are the requirements to support the Expert RAW app on any device:
The first requirement is that the device run on Exynos 990 or higher and/or Snapdragon 865 or higher chipsets. The second requirement is that the smartphone has a minimum of 8GB RAM. Well, these days, most phones have 8GB RAM, so there is no problem with that. But the main requirement here is that the device must offer 2x optical zoom in a telephoto lens.
And most of the devices lack the first and third requirements, so they don’t support the app. Here is the list of Galaxy devices that support the Expert RAW app.
