“Quickly” going into the Pro mode and switching to RAW is probably the better choice only for the minority of subjects or light situations compared to the very good JPEG engine of the smartphone manufacturers. In some situations such as landscape scenes, among others, and if you’re spending a lot of time preparing the picture and adjusting the camera parameters, it might even be worthwhile for the “normal” smartphone user to resort to the RAW format, especially when the camera’s standard settings interpret the light situations or color reproduction completely differently to how the subject actually looks. This is where RAW files can show their advantage, since they contain all image information and can later be edited according to the user’s exact wishes using software like Adobe Lightroom.
Regarding the output quality of the RAW pictures, OnePlus and Samsung seem to achieve slightly better results than Huawei and Xiaomi with the formers’ camera apps using “Auto” settings, since the predefined parameters of the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the 8 Pro are already quite suitable.
