Yesterday TalkAndroid posted some camera shootout results comparing the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the LG G4. While both cameras are able to produce excellent images that are nearly indistinguishable, one of the takeaways was that the LG G4 had more features and flexibility available to users willing to dig into the camera settings. This is because LG decided to enable more features that Google makes available in Lollipop like support for Raw images and specific camera settings like ISO or shutter speed. Sources say Samsung may be working to narrow the gap by adding new features to their camera app as part of an update to Lollipop 5.1.1.
The update appears to be something Samsung is scrambling to include at the last minute, possibly in response to the features LG is delivering on the G4. T-Mobile recently pushed out an unfinished version of Lollipop 5.1.1 to owners of the Galaxy devices on their network and others have early versions of the 5.1.1 ROM for testing and review and the new camera app features are not present in any of these versions.
Sources have not provided any details on exactly what features or updates Samsung plans to add in the final Lollipop 5.1.1 update, but some expect the company to go ahead and enable the full Google camera API. Sources also indicate the new features should be delivered on devices codenamed Samsung Zen and Samsung Noble, the latter of which is suspected to be the Galaxy Note 5.
