As we already know that many Samsung users having exynos based smartphones are complaining about the camera quality being worst compared to what they paid for. Icing on the cake is that there is no scope for developers to create a gcam mod for exynos based smartphones.
 Forget a series and m series phones they cannot create a gcam mod even for s10 + the so called flagship phones by Samsung.
Reason is simple they don't provide camera 2 api support for any of their exynos based phones.
So stop complaining about camera quality as their is no scope for improvement without camera 2 api support in exynos.
Even 12mp camera performs leaps and bounds in pixel phones bcoz they implemented this api judiciously. Don't know whether the brains behind Samsung have any idea about this camera 2 api, which will really cost them dearly. May be they are following the footsteps of Nokia.

Nokia refused to produce dual Sim phones and did not used Android as the os for their phones see where they are. Samsung is still not employing basic api's to improve their cameras they will face the same fate.

No I talked to a Samsung executive yesterday and he told me that your phone does not support camera 2 api. It's official source.

Update : galaxy s9, note 9, s8 has gcam mod for exynos but the mod is 5.1 version of gcam. Google has released gcam 7.1 version recently. This gives us an idea how Samsung phones are a bad deal for developers.

i used to have an s8 exynos and it did support camera2api fully so gcam was working great, but on my m30s it's locked on limited "on purpose" if they wished they can enable it bc it's not a hardware limitation i think they just want to keep it for their flagship and again s8 s9 s10 all supports camera2api lvl3 and gcam
