Samsung “Astrophotography” for Galaxy Smartphones
Samsung is currently reviewing eligible devices and may make an official announcement in the coming weeks. The Astrophotography mode is a dedicated feature that enhances low-light performance, making it ideal for capturing stunning images of the night sky, stars, and the moon.
The feature employs multiple layers of multi-frame technology and AI to optimize the image and make it more visually appealing. Samsung has also included helpful features like constellation and star location tracking to assist users with Astrophotography.
Unlike the regular camera shutter, it takes more than four minutes to capture an astrophoto and could go as long as ten minutes. Using a tripod while capturing Astrophotography is recommended to get the best results. This feature is also available on the Google Pixel 4a, providing users with an impressive camera sensor to capture stunning images.

The latest version of Expert RAW supports this feature, and users can update their devices by navigating to Device Settings > Software Update and downloading and installing the latest version. To start using this feature, users need to update or download the latest version of Expert RAW from the Galaxy Store.
