Can I manually adjust white balance on an Android phone camera and save it as a preset?

My Android phone camera seems to show a noticeable white balance shift compared with what I see in real life. I’d like to correct it manually, ideally with a slider or similar control so I can adjust the color temperature until the screen looks right. If possible, I’d also like to save that setting as a preset. My phone is a Unihertz Tank 3 Pro, and I’m using both the native camera app and LMC 8.4. Is this possible, and where would I find the control?

On android you can control white balance vi standard camera application, select PRO mode, the select WB and you will see a wheel where you can select the colour temperature. Below you can see two photos on same surface with different colour temperature:

Usually, yes—if your camera app offers a Pro/Manual mode. In many Android camera apps, white balance can be adjusted manually by opening Pro mode, selecting WB, and then using the on-screen control to choose a color temperature. That effectively gives you the slider-like adjustment you want.
Whether you can save it as a preset depends on the specific app; the provided answer only confirms manual WB control, not preset support.
Keep in mind that matching the scene exactly by eye is limited by your phone screen’s calibration and brightness. So manual WB can help correct color cast, but the display itself may still affect how accurate it looks.
A practical approach is:
- Open the native camera app.
- Switch to Pro/Manual mode.
- Choose WB.
- Adjust the color temperature until the preview looks closest to the scene.
If LMC 8.4 exposes manual white balance controls on your device, the idea is the same, but support can vary by app and phone.
