Here’s how Samsung has improved selfies and portraits with Galaxy S21
Samsung had introduced various new camera features and hardware last year with the Galaxy S20 series, but there were some issues and inconsistencies. This year, the company has focused a lot more on refining the camera features with the Galaxy S21 series. The company has improved the autofocus performance as well as the quality of selfies and portrait shots.
The company is trying to offer more natural looking selfies with the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra. When a selfie is snapped, the Galaxy S21 detects faces in the frame, segments them from the rest of the scene, and then applies natural enhancements to faces. Natural enhancements include bringing out details in the eyes, hair, and facial features, and adjusting the white balance for a natural skin tone. Samsung has also included support for third-party camera apps so that its AI-powered camera features work across supported apps.
