Samsung needs to add RAW support in their APIs

[nilaysriv]

The Galaxy S9 has a great camera but it has bad software support. I mean the front camera doesn't support RAW_SENSOR to be used to by other camera apps which is why apps can't make use of camera2api features and that makes many camera apps crash. Please Samsung, enable camera support. The dynamic range is very bad on front camera and the pictures Come out soft. But with this we could at least use other apps. Galaxy S8, Note 8 and S7 support it too. Just s9 and note 9 don't 😞😞

I know it's a amazing phone but Samsung shut off developers to build some great apps , like making better actual portrait effects using both the cameras and better feature in camera development like Google did in their Google camera app that is being used in pixel 2 and up and is being ported to different devices . But Samsung developers shut off camera 2 API and only gave some options to be used. I am a user of Samsung phone and a developer for Android device , I am with Android from Samsung galaxy ace and I loved Samsung devices but I am regretting buying my galaxy s9 + which is not cheap.
If any developer is reading it please add camera raw to front cam and do provide dual camera API to us developers to develope some nice apps for your devices.

Am a proper Samsung guy, as seen in my attachment. So is everyone in my family, you are making it difficult to use other camera applications for our device. Developers need dual Camera APi and the Front Camera doesn't support Raw _Sensor. Its andriod, it's all about customisation, Samsung doesn't need to go the away of Apple. We beg you not force us to stop using Samsung. Thanks

Yes Samsung! Please provide raw support on S9/S9+ Exynos.
It's also available for Snapdragon versions. So where is the problem?
Not sure if I can stay with that phone. I love to take photos (in RAW).
