Precisely, for the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Adobe has added support for the two 10MP telephoto rear-facing lenses. While for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, it adds three 12MP cameras at the backside each serving as main, ultrawide, telephoto sensor respectively. Besides these two smartphones, several older Galaxy flagships already support RAW photos in the Lightroom app.

For the unaware, the RAW camera allows the user to edit the image by adjusting settings like exposure, white balance, and saturation, and more. The versions supported for Adobe Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are 14.1 and 11.1 respectively. The Adobe Camera extension allows to process RAW images for several Adobe apps, including Lightroom, After Effects, Photoshop, and more.

To recall, almost a month ago, Samsung released its own RAW camera app in South Korea. The app enables the Galaxy S21 Ultra's user to use the primary, ultrawide, 3x telephoto, and 10x telephoto shooters in Pro mode. Also, the company rolled out an Expert RAW update last week which bought UI improvements while opening images in Adobe Lightroom.

The early arrival is to save time on the 4nm manufacturing node, mentions the leaks. Compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 arrives with a lot of improvements and extended capabilities. Some of the major OEM brands are already deploying the high-end processor in their upcoming premium smartphones.

Needles to say, the Snapdragon Gen 2 will surpass the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But also, it is expected to outperform the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor as well. In fact, it is suspected that Qualcomm is developing the next chipset as a direct response to Dimensity 9000. Apparently, the OEM is occupied with producing the 8 Gen 2 chipset in volume, more than the Gen 1 to avoid the global chip crisis.

Although, there are also chances that this could be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 batch ported to TSMC earlier. However, the leak emphasizes the ongoing competition between chipmakers. If the leaks stand true, Qualcomm's upcoming chipset would drop MediaTek down to approximately 4th big TSMC customer. In any case, we will get the most durable, efficient, and innovative processors for future flagships!
