Download Gcam for the phone. It's so so so much better than the phone's camera app

How come?
Not in playstore? Where to download? If APK means update also you need to redownload new APK? Imma retired pirate.

Nope because it's ported and modded from Pixel device. Can still stick to the same version. Maybe download a new one after 6 months or so

how different though? will try later.. so far using their default cam only

I kid you not it's very different. Samsung ha this weird pixel binning and sharpening effect that messes with the picture (if you like to pixel peep). Most obvious if you try and capture texts. The normal cma is readable but with Gcam it's another level. Even the 200mp can't match the sharpness lol.

But color wise, I prefer Gcam as well. But this one is more subjectively la so ymmv

same as non-google phone as well
i'm now using motorola phone with vanilla android...the Gcam already doesn't work perfectly
need to try a few APK only found the one that actually works

so i can't imagine doing it to work on samsung phone

That's just how it goes with modded stuff. Some works, some doesn't. And to make it work you'd have to do some work yourself. But anyway, camera works fine on *my* phone. No harm trying if really really want to.

No. Avoid that lol. Who k ows maybe scam or virus or something.

Get from here. Read the manual and follow the steps.
I should have mentioned only for technical people or at least willing to learn. Later only will give you headache
