Google Camera port for Samsung Galaxy S10 – Why you should use:

And for all the phones out there, Google camera has provided mesmerizing and exceptional results. The newly launched Samsung Galaxy S10 series has superb cameras in them already. But to those, who have tasted Google Camera once, cannot pull themselves out from it. The software algorithms of Google camera has enhanced each and every camera’s experience whatsoever. In addition to the default app, the Google camera port for Samsung Galaxy S10 will give you an experience like never before.
It doesn’t matter how great the default camera app on a phone is, Google Camera just seems to improve upon it in every case. That’s also true in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S10. You have to remember though that Google Camera isn’t officially available for any non-Pixel devices, so the google camera port for Samsung Galaxy S10 isn’t official. Ports can’t be as well polished and optimized for certain hardware as the default software provided by the manufacturer. Some features might not work or provide uncertain results. Sometimes the UI might lag in the Google Camera port for Samsung Galaxy S10.
Why Google camera port for Samsung Galaxy S10 in Snapdragon only?
Cameras take pictures and pictures are processed by Image Signal Processor in the SoC. And Google Pixel 3 devices ship with Snapdragon chips and so the algorithms are based on the Snapdragon variant only. Samsung Galaxy S10, ships with Exynos chips in India and this camera port will not work in them until some kind-hearted developer ports it to Exynos chips. A few phones with Exynos variants, like Samsung Galaxy S7, S8, Note 8 etc. already have it, but we have to wait for the Galaxy S10 Google Camera in the Exynos variant for now.
