Im my opinion GCAM pictures are way better. The only cameras exynos can use gcam is front main and ultrawide. There is much more detail in the main gcam camera. I wonder the difference with the other lenses
That's completely up to Samsung. If more people are interested, they need to go into the Samsung Members app and voice their opinions. Don't actually say it's for GCam though obviously. The trick is to demand RAW access for all cameras since right now only RAW for main and ultra wide are available.
For example: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S21/please-allow-all-cameras-on-pro-mode/td-p/1718372
Yes Gcam pictures are better than stock

My particular example was because I'm in the US haha. I would guess that if you make a post on Members, it'll take you to whichever region you're in. You can then share the links too and others can like/comment on it. I'm just mainly saying we should do it on Samsung's official forums since while some Samsung employees do occasionally check XDA, it's pretty rare.

Any changes on setting u use ? , can u provide your settings SS
Does Gcam lets you access portrait mode?
Since the last software update the x3 optical lens on the S21 U has become my favourite lens to shoot from. Its essentially a nifty fifty with f stop down to below 1.4 thanks to the computational photography magic.
I persume Gcam lets you do similar bokeh?

lol maybe Samsung people do read XDA. After sharing that link (which was posted on Samsung Members almost 2 months ago), a Samsung moderator finally tagged it as a feature request the day after!
I've tried the Gcam for the S21 Ultra, and I even find the overall colors on the Gcam pictures better, but it doesn't even support the full hardware with my SD888.
If you're looking to improve a single photo, you're better off using Lightroom or something like it, you'll get better results if you're willing to put a little effort. If you want to just shoot anything and have it look good, you're **** out of luck, maybe consider an iPhone, I'm sure they have a forum around somewhere.

RAW Support for all cameras (inc.Telephoto not only main/ultra.w) on S21, S21 Ultra Exynos
The Samsung S21 series is an amazing flagship phone featured in 2021. It's great in many aspects. Though I think there are issues. The issue is that I don't think that we are getting the most out of this great hardware. Us owners of the S21 are...

From what I have found seeing post in this forum, it's all about color correction where gcam is good, in that case I would rather fiddle with it myself in ligthroom, once you get used to it, it's a piece of cake, this is what I got from my s21ultra

It's actually not haha. Stock cam does well with man made things with flat, smooth surfaces like buildings and cars. It struggles with nature sometimes though, especially the 10x telephoto. Adding contrast and sharpening is easy, removing it is hard.

Bought this phone yesterday. I'm new to Samsung. I had seen and read a lot of reviews and articles, and all were very positive about the camera, but in my experience its very disappointing. Especially the front facing camera. It's always blurry, and what is up with all that smoothing out??? Even when it's off it just does the same. I haven't changed any special settings. After looking for a solution I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this. Is this just a question of taste, or is there really something "broken" at the moment with this camera?? I'm really considiring returning this phone. 1000€ and this is the picture quality I get?
I paid considerably less than 1000€ a week after launch, I think I'd return it if I paid that much. I've had some good photos from the camera and also less impressive ones, it seems Pro mode is the place to be.
Yes the selfie cam sucks. Too much post processing causing the smoothing effect. I'm not an Instagram model, I don't need to look airbrushed.
The rear shooters though can produce some really nice pics.
It's the software that causes issues. The hardware is solid.
The other option is to download GCam which uses Google's HDR Processing from the Pixel devices. It produces really nice photos. Some GCam builds have Night Sight working as well.
You might find this link useful for installing GCam, it seems to be a bit hit and miss, the camera works for a little while and then just force closes every time it's launched.

and trust me its annoying having paid so much for this device and then get this rubbish picture quality!.... and I bet you any money Samsung folks read these forums so whether its a case of "cant be bothered" or "working on it", no one knows!
I hear the point about Gcam download as an option but I really feel I should not need to download additional software to make up for Samsung's lapses. We buy this device cos we love it and desperately want it to work, guess Samsung makes them only to get our money... not rocket science who the real losers are !

The only likely upgrade would be Samsung's take on Night sight, I wouldn't expect any miracles.
Guys, hey, HW is solid as someone said, i also have some issues with cam quality, i thing that we must wait till we have pie update and then see what changes. Like im working with audio eq and for example player FIIOX5 III sounds quite bad at beggining, but later firmware updates makes it much better. So i thing - wait for software update and then decide to do something with it or ask for refound.

It's been hit and miss too for me, coming from a Pixel 2 XL.
Things are considerably better since I use the Arnova's Gcam port (better than my Pixel 2 XL in fact), and it made me realize Samsung's app/post-processing is the issue, not the Note 9 camera/sensor
Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board and do something about that agressive, over the top post-processing. Like I said, Gcam produces way better, more natural looking like pics, and most of all, they're not blurry (faster shutter time with Gcam maybe?)

More features like Advanced HDR+ and Night Sight are working for me with Arnova's builds vs the one you just posted.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
Can you post some sample pics? This phone is consistently rated as one of the top cameras on the market and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. In good conditions it's hard to say that it's any worse than my DLSR with expensive lenses. Night shots are excellent too. If your rear camera is as bad as you claim, perhaps there is a hardware problem? The front camera does apply a lot of post processing (which I'm not a fan of either) but you can turn most of it off.
TLDR: either you have an actual hardware problem or insanely high expectations, the camera on this phone is just about the best on the market. When I say that it comes close to my DSLR, I'm not kidding.

Reading some of these comments . . . The stock camera app takes fantastic looking pictures IF the subject is not moving. Try taking a picture of your kid or pet doing anything BUT standing still and the photo is a blurred mess. Wish the shutter speed was faster smh not holding my breath on Samsung fixing it thru an update

Use Pro mode if you want to be able to specify your shutter speed, I find the raw's are pretty good once they've had some basic touch-ups.

Thank you
Updated his version:
- Version without blacklist (for 8k and super resolution tests)
- 8K for devices with a 48MP sensor and a recent SOC or more 12GB of ram memory
- HDR10 video only for recent devices
- Super resolution in raw for oneplus device (7 and 8 series for moment)
- Super resolution in jpeg for all devices, similar to stock camera ( works on portrait on many devices )
- Attention changes have been made risk of bug with the xmls of the previous version.
So you have 50/48MP JPEG ONLY on Portrait Mode, things need to be fixed and probably RAW might need Root and Magisk. Thats why it was important to {Mod edit}

I tested the latest Gcam Version Snap_Gcam_6.1Beta.210708.1750build-8.1.101 on my Mi 11 Ultra. It works great, Congratulations Arnova!!
When you open the app it shows 3 buttons 0,6x 1x 5.2x. The 0.6x and 1x lens works perfectly. Only the Tele lens 5.2x generate only a 640x480 picture. So obviously the 5x Tele lens is not activaed yet. Is it possible to fix this?

this thread wont be updated since its been edited.
Hi, bought the phone 2 days ago, because it's not with 888, it's not with curved display and has a ultra wide camera with AF and macro capabilities with raw support.
To my surprise, the quality of the raw file from the ultra wide is worse than from the periscope - there are some strange bright dots when you zoom in to 100%, which lead to overall bad quality of the ready image. I guess they are the phase focus pixels, but they shouldn't be visible without any heavy editing.
So, is it just me, or the problem is global, so I know how to proceed with this? I'm leaving a crop depicting the problem.
Are you sure the ultra wide angle has AF? but yeah it looks weird...

THanks for the reply. I wonder how happy you are overall with the cameras? I've found that the front facing one is quite dark and has WB issues. In general the photos coming out of the stock camera seem riddled with artifacts and oversharpened.

Camera Is great as I see in reviews from owners and websites .
I don't even bother shooting in jpg, this is Motorola and they suck in camera performance and resolution logic.
But, I shoot raw, which is possible even with the selfie cam, and after a minute of editing I get sharp and impressive images, and that's why I bought it - the sensors itself are quite capable. If I find a solution to the problem with the ultrawide, the phone is a keeper...

Is there any way i could improove the quality of the cameras? The sensors are pretty good and there is potential , but the processing of the normal camera app is just ****.

They offer same , or worse quality. If there are no color corrections done specifically for this phone , it won t look good.

Then you've didn't search enough or you made something wrong.
The quality of the game pictures with our rn10pro are nearly at the quality of iphone 12 pro max....
Or you expect more than possible with phones...

Take the photos in raw format. Then there is no post-processing on the part of the camera app. You can then do the post-processing yourself on the pc according to your own wishes. E.g. with "Adobe Lightroom" or with the free alternatives "Darktable" or "Raw Therapee".
Hey, guys. Take a look on my pictures made with Gcam
Do you believe stock is able to make the same?
Still little bit overharped. Upscale also is not necessarily.
With which GCam port these photos are taken?

I don't think they are oversharpened because sharpness was set by default. They are taken with AGC 8.4.300. And upscaling indeed improves clarity and detail a little bit.

Upscale does not improve picture quality. It just let's you zoom further.
Only thing you get is too big images and file size.

No configs, just use presets Ka night and Ka day. But don't use Vivo config, it's blurred. And don't forget to choose Sabre merge and enable upscaling
Guys, last shots from me on this topic. Take a look at this incredible detail. It is better than Vivo X90 pro plus stock!

This is only your opinion. Others maybe have different opinions.
Look at this beautiful portrait
By the way, it was made under room lighting (I use my own config for portraits). The stock camera in such conditions nervously smokes aside I am personally very pleased with gcam. And I don't understand why Vivo programmers get paid.

9.3. Or you can use 9.5fix as well.
Both work fine for me.
Another beautiful portrait (made in the daylight).
I can't even ask for better!

Thanks a lot! Am using 9.5fix and holy moly there so many options. I'm a little overwhelmed but I guess it's gonna take me sometime to get used to. Thanks for posting tho, I believe gcam has the capability of pushing the sensors to their limits to take the best pics. Do you have any recommendations configs tho? You did mention you only use the presets but am getting slightly blurred images, gonna have to experiment a bit...

If you want a sharper pics you can play with sharpness and sabre. And don't forget to enable upscaling to 1.6x-2x. It increases the file size but detail a bit too.
Hey, guys. To finalize this topic, I would like to share with you my last pics. It's for those who like a bit sharper
Conclusion - with a proper gcam and config our camera is still damn good!
