Samsung has brought astrophotography support to its older flagship devices, the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra. The feature is already available on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 series, allowing users to take photos of the night sky.
The latest version of the Expert RAW app (2.0.08.5) allows users to enable astrophotography mode, which must be running after the April 2023 update for the Galaxy S21 series phones to support this feature. The feature allows users to save images in both JPEG and RAW formats.
Expert RAW’s astrophotography mode relies on long exposure shots to capture high-quality images of stars, planets and constellations visible in the night sky; it also features built-in tools to help users point to various constellations in the sky, allows users to set timers for up to 10 minutes, and recommends mounting the device on a tripod to capture stable images.
Samsung has previously relaunched Galaxy Enhance-X, an artificial intelligence image editing application for the S23 series of phones; in addition, it has partnered with Microsoft Xbox to launch free dedicated gaming zones in London and New York City, among others.
