Samsung’s Galaxy S10 lineup has a lot going for it, with an attractive new design and the company’s best software yet. But Samsung customers that were expecting significant camera improvements may be left disappointed. While we’ll have to spend more time with the final phones to know for sure, yesterday’s launch event was not convincing.

That’s not to say Samsung didn’t talk up the Galaxy S10’s photographic potential. Product marketing director Suzanne De Silva described the phone’s new camera system as “a pro-grade camera that you don’t have to be a pro to use.” This is in reference to the triple-lens array on the back of the S10 and S10 Plus, letting you switch between 123-degree ultra-wide, 77-degree wide, and 45-degree telephoto perspectives; the suggestion was that the main advantage of professional cameras is the ability to change lenses.
