I am helping a friend with their camera on a Samsung S8. I found this statement in an article:
"RAW/DNG photos shot from the Galaxy S8’s rear shooter will allow you to extract a wee bit more in terms of dynamic range and details from the phone’s sensor provided you know your way around Photoshop"
Not sure what this means. "Wee bit"- Less than what is possible from a conventional camera because the sensor is less capable?
Thanks

Aren't they really saying that a RAW/DNG from this camera has the capability of giving you more than a SOOC JPEG if you have a little Photoshop savy to process the RAW file....

My Galaxy 6 camera will shoot RAW. If I were using it as an additional tool to get great images, instead of mostly snapshots, i would want the RAW file. That "wee bit" might just be the bit I need to tweak the photo to its best result.

I think it means don't expect miracles.

A wee bit is so much more than a smidgen, by way of comparison of the ability to recover digital details in a RAW file.

Good advertising copy that says whatever the reader hopes it will say.

I shoot RAW with my Galaxy S7. Is it better than the camera jpg? I really don't know. I can make the RAW images show exactly (almost 
)what I thought I saw. I have never bothered to compare a PPed shot with a jpg from the phone. Probably should.

Try printing an image each way and examine them.
Short of that, look at the histogram after you have made adjustments and you will see a big difference, especially if you adjusted the brightness or curves. If you do that on a jpeg, you will see a "combed out" histogram with missing data and that can/will cause uneven tones and "lines" in areas like a sky area.
Working in RAW will give you considerable latitude when compared to working on a jpeg.

I thought a "mite" was a little insect that pestered birds like your profile photo shows.
