If the Android 13-based One UI 5.1 update is not yet live in your region, you will have to wait to try out Camera Assistant on your Galaxy device. Samsung is also working on making the Good Lock module compatible with more of its devices, including the Galaxy Z Flip 3, Z Fold 3, Fold 2, and the Galaxy Note 20 series.
With Camera Assistant, you can toggle Auto HDR, automatic lens switching, and tweak other low-level camera settings on your compatible Galaxy phone.
