@Ntechs18 @Wvisioncreation thanks for checking. Here is another example

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation not sure about Ultra but on S25 base model when using Expert RAW if i change the EV to whatever like +1.0 or -1.0 the highlights at night are always overblown and the HDR is worse. If it stays as 0.0 it works fine. I have also sent feedback but please have a look and confirm.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Frankforphones @oppo @OPPOIndia @OPPOJapan i would prefer something in between cause Xiaomi makes people look too under-exposed but the highlights look realistic and Oppo makes people look properly exposed but the highlights aren't perfectly handled.

@Wvisioncreation The list of what needs to be explained with their camera system is endless. It's the only brand with two completely different camera apps with different processing/features. At least on S26 they now gave the 24mp mode. Perhaps on S27 they will add the virtual aperture and so on.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation i meant it's not available on base and plus models.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@AnxiousHolly the same thing that happened to S23-S25 night mode processing. It got nerfed so that it can be fixed in the next generation and be promoted as innovation. Typical Samsung going back and forth.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation The rumored compact S27 Pro sounds like the real deal tbh

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@TonyMuchiri4 @TechWithMuchiri hmm although I love Samsung's Expert RAW and i use it every day it's not an actual raw image but processed and social media ready. However the iPhone does capture real RAW photos ready to be edited and in this case it looks like it has better information for post editing.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@LAFadhel i guess it depends on the country you are located in and what your options are. So some of us can only choose to buy between the base model with exynos and the Ultra with snapdragon. So there is no point to compare base model with different chipset as we don't have this option

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@SamSWUpdate the worst part is not delaying the 8.5 but the fact that once it's released it probably won't bring too many changes apart from a more polished UI. All the camera fixes we've been waiting for in S25 were pushed to S26 only. Our efforts to claim better processing in S25 is wasted

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@UniverseIce it's crazy that we have to pay so much and buy the new model just to get the real software updates we've been waiting for. All the feedback we sent about the issues we face are only considered on their next generation.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@UniverseIce the problem is not only that the new features are exclusively reserved for the latest models but even the necessary software fixes for the camera's flaws as well. This is not the typical flagship experience with 7 years of updates someone would expect...

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation i know it's auto mode that's why i wish it was more convenient the same way as my Pixel used to be. Of course i can manually achieve a lot better results with Expert RAW and editing.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation yeap that's what i am doing at the moment but if the information is totally lost in the crushed shadows i am not able to restore it completely via editing.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@TechHome100 does this mean at least that Vivo tries to optimize their older models and not forget about them? Cause with Samsung you will never see this happening as the older models will only look worse and never get updates.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@Wvisioncreation it's the same as why the S25 FE beats the normal S25's stock camera despite the weaker specs but also nobody talks about this. Software optimization is the key.

[Gorginos @gorginos15]

@sondesix like it was very difficult to do so with the S25 Ultra via a software update. Did they really have to release a whole new model for these minor improvements?
