In this order

  1. Open the camera in under a second

    Most good moments are gone by the time you unlock and find the camera app. A double press opens it straight away, even from the lock screen.

  2. Get sharper, more natural photos

    Samsung’s camera smooths details and switches lenses on its own. Camera Assistant lets you turn that off and speed up the shutter.

  3. Remove photobombers from your pictures

    Strangers, bins or wires in the background can be wiped out of a photo, and the gap is filled in for you.

  4. Sharpen old or blurry photos

    Old photos, shaky shots and pictures saved from chats can be sharpened and cleaned up in a tap.

  5. Cut a person or pet out of a photo
