That's true I also wasn't able to find anything.
This is a similar cam forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-10/themes/gcam-t4005605 but still no 108Mpx Gcam

Doesn`t the normal SD chipset work for everyone not on the exynos chip?
Holding my fingers crossed for a Exynos port of the Gcam for the Ultra. Even with the camera update it seriously smears the texture on photos and have had some horrible portrait photos as a result.
Most annoying part is that if you use the pro mode you get excellent results without any smeared skin tones but using the main camera set on auto without bixby scene detection and 12mp binned photos it sure looks like **** most of the time.
I think Samsung REALLY needs to improve a lot on the camera or it will be the biggest camera failure in the last 10 years....
So unless you mainly post to instagram and actually want to print pictures I suggest you use the 108mp setting and give it a quick sharpening in snapseed (or lightroom for some much needed defringing and sharpening)
So I´m holding out hope for a Gcam port for us stuck with the Exynos chipset that seems to produce slightly worse then the Snapdragon powered Ultra.
Other then that, I love the S20 Ultra and a worthy upgrade from my old S8+

Obviously because you get no HDR while in Pro mode...

The need for HDR in bright daylight is almost non exsistent.
I cant understand. I have oneplus 6.... crapy photie... I gave up and bought S20 Ultra... even crappier photos..... what is going on?????
With gcam one plus 6 photos almost looks great...
Should I sell S20 and buy Xiaom 10?
Hardware in S20 should be much better than in mi 10... but looks like software is crap??
Thank you for suggestions

What do you suggest?
if you can get snapdragon go for s20 if not just go for oppo xfinder x2 or mi 10 pro if camera is important for you, if you want the best camera go for p40 check dxomark.com for camera rankings although p40 have no google services but can be installed in less than 10 minutes
So for EU (Exynos) version of S20 Ultra there is no hope?

I use ZGCAM vers.917 on my EXYNOS S20 Ultra (XEF) :
-Night mode front and back
-PhotoBooth
-Photo Sphère (bugs sometimes)
-Slow Motion
-Zoom
-Video
-Google Lens
-Portrait (back and Front)
-Panorama
pictures looks better with stock in most of the cases (Night shoots) but with the correct settings i think GCAM will be much better than stock.
with the virus it's hard for me to spend a lot time outside to find the best set up but i think it's a good begining.
I can't share my pictures or setting for the moment( need 10 usefull posts before..)
let me know if you need more details
It is working!!
First app that has worked for me until now
Thank you very much
Do you know the best settings to use this cam on auto? Never worked with Gcam before

Actually, when I try night mode it shuts down the camera
Hello, i got the Exynos variant and im overall happy except for Battery usage. But the Stock Camera App is horrible, its so restrictive. I come froma LG V40 where i could change everything before taking a photo, i could even perfectly adjust the display to my liking. The S20 Ultra lacks pretty much every customization that i liked. I guess ill switch to a custom rom as soon as one is available.
Now the main problem. I want to use the 108 MP Sensor but with adjusted Colors/Contrast and so on, it oversaturates like crazy. Why is 108 MP not unlocked in the Pro Mode? And is there a way to get GCAM working on the Exynos? Are there any 3rd party apps which let me use the 108 MP Sensor and adjust the settings?
On my current Galaxy S9+ there is a hard 5 minute recording limit for 4K60 (using main camera) & I'm wondering if this limit has been removed on the S20+/S20 Ultra & S21 Ultra???
All these 3 models claim: [email protected], [email protected]/60fps but no mention of hard time limits on recording at the highest quality?
Please can someone who has a Galaxy S20+ or Galaxy S20 Ultra or Galaxy S21 Ultra do a test recording at 4k60 to see if there is a hard time limit on the recording??
This is really important for me to know.
Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G Main camera @ 4k/60 I stopped the recording at 6:30 and it was still recording when I stopped it.
Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your help.
I assume you used the standard, built-in video recorder & not a 3rd party app?
Would you also be able to do the same test using 8k (presumably 24fps) ?

I had such problem and turns out it is the system killing the recording due to overheating. I managed to record about 17 min though.

So what happened to the recording?
With hindsight, if you start the recording with the phone totally "cold" does that help?
??

8k/24fps Main camera stock app i stopped the recording at 10.00 mins and it was still recording.
4Gb of recording of one 4K video was the limit on Android 10. On Android 11 the limit has gone. Maybe it has something to deal with recording limitations on an older devices.
Greetings, I have heard it is possible to run the screen at 90hz the big q is, how?
Hi,
Recently i notice that I can not chose resolution on my Galaxy s21 FE. Is it like that from stock or they limit with some update? (im quite frustrated S-series not to play dex in 4k)
Can you suggest some fix (preferably not affecting knox) .. I mostly interested in DEX mode 4k resolution, not phone screen resolution. Now it is only able to play in 1080p.
