Samsung has a strong ecosystem of apps that complement the pre-installed Google apps (thanks to Google paying to make this happen), and some of these don’t add much to the experience, but others are a great addition to mobile. phones of the brand.

One that is not pre-installed is Good Lock, an app that is a portal to many improvements for the Samsung Galaxy. The other is the Camera Assistant. This is an application that unlocks the full potential of the Samsung Galaxy camera and has been exclusive to high-end devices so far. This has changed because Camera Assistant comes to Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A54.

An app to control digital zoom, HDR, and add more options

It seems like a lie but The two apps we mentioned need to be downloaded from the Galaxy Store and they would be very helpful to users if they came pre-installed. To give an example of what an application like Good Lock provides, it is the application we use to open any Galaxy Z Flip5 application on the external screen.

This is just an example, but it contains various additions and modules that allow us to expand the possibilities of our Samsung phones. With Camera Assistant, We have a companion application for the main camera application..

It is installed independently and its settings are not visible in the camera app. With him, We can enable various options such as sensor interrupt to achieve 2x On mobile phones without this focal length, configure auto HDR, automatic lens switching, correct (or not correct) lens distortion and a host of other functions that focus on both image quality and other camera functions.

This addition was available on all Galaxy ZFlips, the Galaxy Z Fold2 onwards, the Galaxy Note 20 (already outdated for Samsung) and the Galaxy S20 onwards. So, It was a special application for the premium series of the South Korean company.

But the surprise came with the new update of One UI 6, as Camera Assistant is now also available for download from the Galaxy Store for Samsung Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A53. These are two mid-range phones with main cameras that we can now tweak a bit more to get more out of their sensors.

Definitely, It’s good news that Samsung has adapted its ‘good’ camera tuning app to the mid-rangeespecially at a time when mid-range mobile phones have sensors that can deliver more than a satisfactory snapshot of photos.

If you have one of these models, you can download Camera Assistant from this link in the Galaxy Store. Now keep this in mind Not all options will be compatible with all modelseven if they support the app. For example, the new 2x mode, or the mode that prioritizes focus over shutter speed, is only available on the Galaxy S23.
