That's not much to go on, and I would not know what you'd consider "best", or whether you mean free or paid, but... have you heard of Open Camera. Here's some info:

I had been using it a lot, but lately I went back to my native camera app, even though the interface for Open Camera is better IMO.

Kingkiller_90,

I use Camera Connect and Control. You can get this on the Google Play Store.

It's free to use for 3 days, and I paid $9.99 to purchase. It's stored on your Google account, so you can use it on multiple devices. I use it on both my Android phone and Samsung tablet.

You can shoot wireless or wired.

You might want to check to see if your camera is supported before you download and use it. I have a Canon T8i, and it wasn't listed, but the app works flawlessly for me.

I use "Expert Raw" on my Samsung S22u, they go to LR .

I just use the standard Samsung camera app for snapshots which is 70% of them anyway.

Snapped can be ok for editing them or the stick Samsung Gallery app

On my Pixel 6 Pro (that I had for a short time but got rid of it) I just used the LR camera app or the stock app.

You need to be a little careful as much of the trickery is done by AI in the app to account for the terrible sensors in phones.

But best is a little tricky to define with the lack of info for you have given.

Open Camera DRO mode is superb. (dynamic range optimization)

I suppose if you shoot Raw and convert with Topaz Denoise, then correct colors in your favorite application, you might achieve better results. DxO PhotoLab does not support Android.
