Google Camera Port on Galaxy S10 (Comparisons)

To test this Google Camera app port, an XDA developer has used Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S10+ and took a couple of pictures to compare with the stock app. The Google camera app doesn’t overexpose images as much as Samsung’s stock camera app does. Google camera app is not accurate as real life, but the Samsung camera gives quite realistic photos. However, Google camera has much better HDR than the Samsung camera. So, it’s totally up to you to choose between these two apps.

XDA Developer has taken the above two comparison picture in the same place. The left one is captured using Google Camera, and the right one is using stock camera. The most significant difference we can see here is lightning. Also, the stock camera looks more realistic. Google camera is much bluer and both the images look great on its own quality.

This is yet another comparison by XDA. Here, the ported app shines, giving a better quality image. You can see more detailed in the Google camera app, in the roof of the building and much more color. Samsung camera has a lot of aggressive noise as compared to the Google camera. Sky and cloud are almost greys, and there are not many details on the roof of the building on the Samsung camera. So, definitely, Google camera is a winner here!

Samsung Bright Night VS Google Night Sight

Samsung has an inbuilt scene-optimizer called Bright Night while it is Night Sight in Pixel devices. Let us compare these two modes.
