Samsung’s Expert Raw App Get New Features But Older Flagships Will Have To Wait
Today on the camera support page on Samsung Community Korea app ‘r1’ for Expert RAW, the moderator informed the community about what new features they will bring. The moderator announced the Expert RAW update schedule this 8th.
Samsung Moderator also informed that these two new features are based on customer feedback from the community. They are;
Expert Raw New Features:
Feature A: Set the function to save the value in the custom preset; It is an option for custom manual settings that can be saved and used again.
It’s inconvenient to have to re-adjust the setting so that the user can pre-save the setting every time the lens is changed to something like “My Settings” or “Custom Mode.” It seems realistic.
Feature B: Save format; RAW Expert delivers results in both RAW and JPEG formats at the same time. After taking a photo with Expert RAW, if you take a RAW image in the gallery, it will be saved as PNG and JPEG; it saves two copies for saving one & only DNG copy.
When shooting with Expert RAW, user-changed camera setting values are saved, and a new function to save settings that can be reused for the next shot will be added.
There are cases where it is impractical to store two types of results. Developers plan to add a “Save Format” menu in the configuration menu where the user can select the desired format.
Moderator stated that users could choose to create only RAW or JPEG, and you can also save both as before.
Developers and reviewers are working hard to provide a better Expert RAW app with better low-light image quality and adding new features that have been introduced now.
Delayed For Older Flagships:
First, when Expert RAW was released, it was announced that the Galaxy S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Fold2 models would be supported in the first half; however, the support schedule was delayed.
Earlier, Expert RAW support required a full camera system update, and other improvements were not identified until the final process.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra only supported two lenses: wide-angle and ultra-wide omitting the telephoto.
The calculator of the Expert RAW app is based on Bayer RAW, which is a Bayer filter mosaic, a color filter array for arranging RGB color filters on a square grid of photosensors.
The 10x Hybrid Optic telephoto lens fitted to the S20U cannot output Bayer RAW, so it will certainly be dropped from supported lenses & developers are working on the September SW update schedule this year and regretted the delay in the update process.
All we can take from this released information is that the expected release for this update is in September & there are two new features coming.

Google’s developers are releasing an update for its Android Auto app with great constancy. After providing stable version 11.8, there is a new beta ready to test.
Google released Android Auto 11.9 Beta Update
This new Android Auto 11.9 beta build landed online a few hours ago, allowing users to test its features before the public rollout begins.
The latest Android Auto 11.9 beta is ready to download for all users who have registered for it. However, the update rarely brings significant changes from the previous updates. The mMountainvViewgiant didn’t offer the changelogs for the Android Auto updates, so the only way to find out what’s new in version 11.9 is to install it on your device and look for changes.
In the previous Android Auto 11.8 update, the redesigned Settings menu began rolling out to users. Installing Android Auto 11.9 beta doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the new Settings interface today, but it is required once Google enables the server-side update on your device.
Keep in mind that Android Auto 11.9 is still in the beta stage. As a result, you may encounter bugs and issues after installing it. As a result, you might experience crashes or other issues while using this beta version.
Google’s Gemini AI adds a new convenient and awaited functionality to the Gmail app for Android: the ability to summarize emails.
The previous reports have already revealed that the Gmail app for Android devices is going to have the ability to summarize emails using Google’s Gemini AI. Now, recent reports are revealing that this feature is close to launch.
A colleague Android Authority contributor and reliable cose sleuth Assemble Debug managed to activate the feature on version 2024.04.21.626860299 of the Gmail app. Google has not yet widely rolled out the feature, but we expect it to happen soon.
Expectations are that Google will formally announce the feature at the upcoming I/O 2024 event, along with many other announcements about the upcoming iteration, including the launch of the Pixel 8a.
Once the brand officially rolls out this feature, you will see a “Summarize this email” button under the subject line of their emails. If you hit the button, it will generate a quick summary of the email. This feature should be especially convenient for lengthy emails with lots of text and other details.
You will also have the power to rate the quality of the summary by tapping the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons under the summarized text. Probably, this will help Google improve Gemini’s summarizing capabilities. It will also offer a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.
Recently, Samsung has introduced several updates to its application to provide new experiences to its users. For instance, it has provided a new update for QuickShare connectivity and several Good Lock modules. Now, the company has started rolling out the update for the voice recorder.
Samsugn has rolled out a new update for the Voice Recorder application, which comes with version number 21.5.12.02. According to the changelog, the latest update for voice recorders is coming, which will improve the functionality of various functionalities. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t shared details about it. However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
