If you have a Pixel phone, you'll probably notice this in a few apps too, but in my experience there's a lot less of a distinction with how the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 compare to previous generations. This is most noticeable in apps like Snapchat and Instagram, where the camera actually looks really good on the Galaxy S21. So how was this miracle achieved? All of this is thanks to Samsung's partnership with a few app developers to bring its camera AI (and correspondingly, quality) to third-party apps, presumably by enabling the use of Android's CameraX library. And while you won't find these comparisons below, I've also noticed very similar camera quality improvements with Snapchat coming out of the S21, with the S21 looking better than the S21 Ultra in some situations. According to Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, it’s a bet that AI chatbots will increasingly become a part of everyday. This was so shocking because we've heard for years how Snapchat on Android is supposed to be getting better, but haven't seen any real improvements outside of the Google Pixel series with the Pixel Visual Core.īelow are a few pictures and videos taken from Snapchat on my Galaxy S21 Ultra. Snapchat is introducing a chatbot powered by the latest version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In my testing of Snapchat on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, pictures and video both look really, surprisingly great.
