Xiaomi has better cameras, as I saw in comparisons. I hope Samsung will catch up and add triple 50MP cameras with larger sensors next year, maybe with 6 axis stabilization. Yes, they want a premium feel with small camera bumps, but nerds like me and regular people would like those in their phones. I think they will improve cameras on the Plus model first, and then on the base. They already had a 64MP telephoto on the S21 base and S21 Plus.
