I bought a Samsung smartphone. The smartphone has a bunch of cameras. They can zoom to different levels. They can use AI to do stuff like auto-detect documents and turn on a very smart document scanning mode. Then I open up Telegram or WhatsApp and I'm greeted with a barebones camera app that can't really even zoom. How is that a good user experience?!? In what world?

> How is that a good user experience?!? In what world? In the world of Telegram and WhatsApp, where the own vision and strategy of their camera user experience are valued higher than handing off the task of image-taking to the default camera application. Really, the decision is in the hands of the App developer, the Android platform is offering both paths. The idea is that CameraX combines a bit of both worlds, with vendors like Samsung integrating features there and App-Developers using this toolbox instead of directly calling the API of the camera hardware.
