Samsung is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world, and the company introduces dozens, if not hundreds, of new models every year. However, did you know that all Samsung models, whether entry-level or flagship, have a common problem? This problem, caused by the slowness of the stock camera application, has bothered some users, if not everyone, and caused them to miss unique moments by milliseconds. The company eventually admitted that the phone’s camera was slower than it should be and fixed it, but not everyone received the fix. Here are the details…

Samsung just admitted your phone’s camera is slower than it should be

Samsung has recently admitted that its stock camera app on Galaxy smartphones can sometimes be slow in capturing moments. The admission came with a new update that introduced a feature called Quick Shutter Tap in the Camera Assistant app. This feature captures photos as soon as your finger touches the shutter button, rather than when you release it. That’s how saving off a few milliseconds from the capture time.

While this feature can help you capture the moments you actually wanted to capture, the fact that it’s only available through the Camera Assistant app is a cause for concern. The Camera Assistant app is not compatible with lower-end or mid-range smartphones, and even some high-end smartphones aren’t compatible with it.

This means that millions of Galaxy users are being deprived of faster capture times (and probably cherished memories) because they can’t use the app. Instead of hiding this simple option in the Camera Assistant app, Samsung should bring the feature to the stock camera app on all Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The feature should be turned on by default, so that everyone can benefit from it.

In addition to Quick Shutter Tap, Samsung should also consider bringing the Capture Speed feature from the Camera Assistant app to the stock camera’s settings section. Samsung phones can sometimes take too much time to capture a shot for HDR and multi-frame noise reduction processing, and this can lead to missed moments or blurred images of fast-moving subjects.

By automatically detecting moving objects and prioritizing shutter speed over image quality in such situations, Samsung can significantly improve the camera experience for a lot of Galaxy users. Samsung’s admission that its stock camera app can be slow in capturing moments is a step in the right direction. However, the company needs to take more concrete steps to address this issue.

By bringing Quick Shutter Tap and Capture Speed to the stock camera app, the company can improve the camera experience for all Galaxy users, regardless of their device’s specifications. We hope Samsung takes this feedback into consideration and makes the necessary changes in its upcoming updates.
