Samsung is improving one of its camera apps for the Galaxy S23 series

When it comes to cameras, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is not undisputed.

Samsung has been widely criticized, especially with the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera still having room for improvement. And the latest update to the camera app on offer shows that the most popular Android OEM still has issues, as the changes are drastic.

Samsung didn’t do itself any favors with a 200MP camera

One of the harshest critics is “Ice Universe,” an anonymous insider in China who is likely deeply rooted in the industry. With a few examples he shows that Samsung has made huge improvements to its “Expert RAW” app. For example, “The main camera’s color saturation has been returned to normal levels and faces are no longer yellow”.

The new mode for 50 MP is also greatly improved, with a few examples. He writes that “the new version of Expert Raw 50 MP comes closer to the standard version with 12 MP HDR and color and performs better”.

Below you’ll find a few of his tweets along with sample shots, with the remastered saturation especially evident in the preview image:

The new version of S23 Ultra Expert RAW 2.0.10.6 has returned the original camera’s color saturation to normal levels and faces are no longer yellowish. However, the ultra-wide angle, 3x and 10x haven’t changed, and are still overly saturated. 50MP is also a huge change,… pic.twitter.com/F7VxXNrBRy

The order is: Default 12MP, Default 50MP, Default 200MP, and the new Expert Raw 50MP. What I mean is that the new version of Expert Raw 50MP is the closest to the default 12MP HDR and color, and it performs best, instead of the default 50MP and 200MP. pic.twitter.com/EmiANlBSuU
