The mobile phone is really convenient for taking pictures anywhere and at any time, quickly, to capture funny moments or unrepeatable images. The problem is that when it comes to Android smartphones, the default application from the phone manufacturer is not always the best possible. If, therefore, we have a Samsung Galaxy or a Huawei and the photos are blurry when there is little light, or they take slow or are not offered many special effects to improve the image, then you have to find some alternatives.And if we also want to have the possibility to make changes to the photos, perhaps using filters or special effects, directly from the camera or immediately after the shot, then it may be worthwhile. change the camera app and use a better one.
