Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
TL;DR
- The Galaxy S21 FE can now use Samsung’s Camera Assistant app.
- Some Camera Assistant features are not available for FE Phone.
It’s been almost two years since Samsung launched its Camera Assistant app. While the tech giant’s flagship Android phones have enjoyed the benefits of the app, that hasn’t exactly been the case for some Fan Edition phones. But it looks like Galaxy S21 FE owners can now take advantage of the app.
First reported by SamMobile, it appears Samsung has quietly rolled out Camera Assistant support to the Galaxy S21 FE. In fact, support may have been available as early as January, as that was the last time the update was released.
For those who don’t know, Camera Assistant is an app that lets you customize Samsung’s stock camera app. For example, you can change the number of photos taken when the timer function is activated. You can add a dedicated 2x zoom at the bottom in the viewfinder, etc.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Galaxy S21 FE won’t get support for all of the app’s features. The outlet states that the FE device will not have the option to turn off automatic lens switching. Additionally, you won’t be able to disable automatic HDR image capture.
While it would be nice to have these abilities, something is better than nothing. Besides that, the company could always add support for these features with a future update. You can get the Camera Assistant app by downloading it from the Galaxy Shop.
