These Samsung Galaxy devices support Expert RAW camera tool
Expert RAW is a downloadable application offered by Samsung with support available for select Galaxy devices. It allows you to take high-quality, high-dynamic range photos by supporting 16-bit computational RAW for professional shooting and editing.
With One UI 5.1, Samsung has added Expert RAW to the stock camera itself for easy access it. Now you can open the Expert RAW by visiting the Samsung Camera app and changing the camera modes to the More option.
The various modes provided by the Galaxy Camera are used for different purposes. The most basic Photo Mode provides photos for everyday recording or storage purposes by applying the best quality according to the situation, and Pro Mode adjusts camera settings according to the user’s intent to capture the sensor’s raw results.
However, it is not easy to use for professional photography due to its weak brightness and noise characteristics, producing only raw data from the sensor of mobile devices.
Therefore, through multi-processing technology, noise is reduced, sharpness and detail are enhanced, and dynamic range is expanded to provide “Expert RAW” so that more information from dark to bright areas can be captured in a single frame.
Samsung Expert RAW support is available for limited Galaxy devices, you can check below to see if your device is eligible.

Samsung has already begun rolling out the long-awaited One UI update for its smart TVs, based on Tizen OS 8.0. It introduces a design overhaul that brings elements of its smartphone UI to the big screen. Although the overall experience still feels distinct from the One UI found on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.
The One UI update for smart TVs brings changes to the Daily Board feature. This screen shows useful widgets and wallpapers, and now it has a more One UI-inspired design. Widgets like Weather, Notes, Tips, and SmartThings Home Status now have a similar look to what you’d see on a Galaxy phone.
Samsung Weather and SmartThings widgets look almost identical to the ones on smartphones. Moreover, the Samsung Notes app icon is also familiar.

With the Daily Board, you can choose which widgets you want to display, change the background wallpaper, and set up automatic widget rotation. If you place more than four widgets on the screen, they will rotate automatically. However, there are some limitations. You can’t set a custom wallpaper only the preloaded options are available.
While the One UI update brings some fresh features, Samsung’s TV interface still has a lot of the old Tizen design. The Settings menu still looks very much like it did before, and the app icons, while similar, don’t fully match the modern style of One UI on phones.
Samsung is making progress in bringing One UI to its TVs, but there’s more work to be done. Future updates may bring more changes to make the experience feel even more like the One UI on your smartphone or tablet.
Aside from this, Samsung recently released a new update for the Daily Board app, which brings Night Clock mode and bug fixes to enhance users’ experience.
