Best Preset Bundles for Android Photographers (2026)
All Lightroom Mobile presets work on Android — DNG preset files install in Lightroom Mobile on Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus, and every other Android phone the same way they do on iPhone. The process takes two minutes and no subscription is needed.
This guide covers the best preset bundles for Android photographers and the one Android-specific adjustment that makes every preset look more natural on Android photos.
Android-specific preset adjustment
Before applying any preset on an Android photo, one adjustment makes a significant difference: change the Camera Calibration profile.
In Lightroom Mobile, scroll to the bottom of the editing panel. Find Camera Calibration. Change the Profile from Adobe Color to Camera Standard.
This applies your phone's native color science as the starting point. Samsung phones in particular render significantly better with Camera Standard than with Adobe Color. The preset then works on a more natural foundation.

Android vs iPhone preset results
Android and iPhone process photos differently. Samsung applies more HDR processing. Pixel has more neutral processing closer to camera RAW. Both affect how presets render.
For best results on any Android phone: change Camera Calibration to Camera Standard, reduce preset amount to 70-75%, and reduce Sharpening to 20 before applying.
