Samsung Camera Assistant and Expert RAW features: Comparison
There is no doubt that Samsung has evolved throughout the years, especially in the camera department. The company has developed many new things like new sensors and lenses, which are now helpful for taking good-quality photos. Apart from the hardware aspect, the Korean giant has also introduced some new applications which enhance the photographic experience on Galaxy devices. This article will discuss two of the most popular applications, Camera assistant and Expert RAW.
Camera Assistant
Camera Assistant is a module of Good Lock, which brings several customizable functions for the stock camera app. It came into existence after the One UI 5.0 update. Initially, it was available for the Galaxy S22 devices, but then the company expanded recently; it has reached more Galaxy devices.
Camera Assistant features
There are several customization features available that bring several functions that can be on/off through this, such as
Auto HDR – It is a useful feature that helps to capture more details in the dark and bright areas of your picture and videos.
Picture softening – It smooths the sharp edges and textures in Photo mode.
Auto Lens switching – it is an AI-integrated feature that will select a suitable lens according to the condition after analyzing the zoom, lighting, and distance to the subject.
Quick tap shutter – If you turn on this feature, it will change the shutter button set, and it takes pictures just by touching it.
Expert RAW
Expert RAW is an application that provides a wide range of features for the camera, so Galaxy smartphone users can take more enhanced quality photos. It offers a kind of similar function as you can see in the pro mode, but it has some extra features that give a finishing touch to your photos. It was launched for flagship Galaxy devices last year, and after being updated several times, it has grabbed some features that let us know about them.
Expert RAW features
The Expert raw is an app that provides several features that help to manage your camera; for instance, you can change several options of the camera like ISO, shutter speed, EV, metering and white balance, etc. Apart from these, if you take images through this app, then the photos will be formatted in RAW form, which is considered the best image for adding effects and editing. The main characteristic of RAW format images is that they don’t lose quality if you make changes to them.
Camera Assistant Vs Expert RAW
Samsung Camera Assistant and Expert RAW are both exclusive features of Samsung, which means you can use them only on Galaxy devices; however, they are only available on select devices. The basic difference between them is one provides customizability that makes using the camera handier, while the other one provides some extra features that take the photographic experience to the next level.
Samsung is adding one more functionality, ‘Relumino Mode’, from its smart TVs to its Galaxy smartphones for users’ overall viewing experience.
The Korean giant introduced the Relumino Mode feature on Samsung Smart TVs, which enhances the viewing experience for people with low vision. It improves particular parts of the content on the TV’s display, such as contrast, color, and sharpness. Now the giant has decided to bring Relumino, an accessibility feature, from TVs to particular Galaxy smartphones, which it initially showed off at CES 2023.
Somewhere, Relumino Mode’s functionality and features appear similar to the color contrast setting that was earlier available to access now with Android 15 Beta 2. In a new blog post, Samsung wrote, “Relumino Mode is the product of years of research and development to advance Samsung’s goal of providing “Screens for All” and improving the viewing experience for those with limited vision,” which highlights a range of accessibility features that it delivers.
However, at the moment, it’s not clear whether this feature needs specific display hardware or if it’s purely a software-side update. According to Samsung’s blog post, the Galaxy S24 series “and beyond” should be able to access Relumino Mode now. The feature appears on the Galaxy S23+ devices that are running One UI 6.1, but unfortunately not on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 or the Galaxy Z Fold 4, even after running the same interface.
Owners of Galaxy phones with One UI 6.1 can easily check if the new convenient mode is available on their device or not by just following the steps mentioned here: go to Settings >> Accessibility >> Vision Enhancements >> Relumino outline.
On the other hand, Apple also introduced new accessibility features that should land later this year, which include eye tracking to control iPhones and iPads.

Samsung and Apple are the two biggest rivals of each other in the tech industry, as both brands never miss the chance to put down each other’s firm. Now the Korean giant has published a new commercial for its current flagship tablet, and the key reason behind this is pretty clear: to throw a dig at the competition.
Apple introduced a new iPad at a lunch event on May 7th. During the event, the giant also showed a commercial called ‘Crush’ that resulted in a lot of controversy.
Apple showcases a hydraulic press physically crushing musical instruments, paints, books, camera lenses, and more ahead of evidently revealing an iPad Pro, unfortunately, which backfired. Creative professionals saw a profound sense—a metaphor for technology replacing traditional forms of creativity. Many felt the impoliteness of artists and their professions, especially considering the rise of AI-powered art creation.
However, every single person is free to have their own opinion, but Apple’s intention was beyond question—not this, but more to show how the new device in the house was able to encompass a whole series of tools and elements. Not only this, but the firm was forced to apologize publicly, removing the commercial from television publication.
On the other hand, Samsung took all this fuss as a golden opportunity and capitalized on Apple’s controversial “Crush” ad, and Samsung released a counter-ad in which a musician walking through the wreckage left by Apple’s hydraulic press then picked up a partially destroyed guitar and started playing music. The center-worthy point of the ad is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra housed on a tripod nearby.
