With the tremendous development in smartphone cameras, the default camera application is no longer sufficient to meet the ambitions of users who seek professional-quality photos or desire full manual control.

Therefore, technology experts offer you a selection of outstanding applications designed specifically for Android phones, which give users greater freedom in the shooting and editing process, as well as support for the “RAW” format.

:ProShot
This application provides precise manual control over many important settings such as shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and focus. It also supports shooting in “RAW” and “JPEG” formats. The application features a user interface that mimics professional cameras, but it is a paid application and requires a one-time fee ($8).

:Open Camera
This application is a completely free option, and supports shooting in “RAW” and “JPEG” formats, in addition to panorama mode, geotagging, and multi-exposure features.

:Adobe Lightroom Mobile
This application combines the functions of shooting and editing in one application. It includes a built-in camera that allows professional control and support for “DNG” and “RAW” formats, as well as advanced tools for correcting light and contrast.

:Snapseed
This application, provided by “Google,” is dedicated to quick and accurate editing operations. It supports “RAW” and “JPEG” files without displaying ads or adding watermarks. It also includes an extensive library of artistic filters and a flexible layered editing structure.
