Throw them on your Instagram, and you'll benefit from an Oooh! factor next to everyone else's photos. Portrait mode images are, if nothing else, recognizably different from the photos you'd get from any other major smartphone (excluding the more regional P9). And there are some idealized situations where it could almost fool you.īut mostly, portrait mode seems to feed the same desire that drives sales of the crummy, overpriced, low-end DSLRs that crowd the consumer market: Not to make better photos, but to make fancier photos. That isn't something you can say about the Chinese Huawei P9, the last phone to attempt this feat with a dual lens. To Apple's credit, portrait mode doesn't often make massive errors either. (Portrait mode slaps a surface blur on everything behind a sharp line in the air.Rafi Letzter/Business Insider) And the line between the bokeh and the in-focus region of the image is unnaturally sharp.) (Two big tells: Nothing in front of the subject gets fuzzed up, only the background. And the result, as often as not, looks more than a little unnatural. There's no tweaking or adjustment to be done. Your reward on the other side of that process? A more or less successful effort to apply a flat surface blur to everything the camera thinks is behind your subject. Plus, the autofocus slows way down, so everything in the scene has to freeze while it works. Flip over from regular shooting into portrait mode and your camera will only work if the light's just right, if you stand just so, and if you're the right distance from your subject. You can see the difference that this makes in the sample images below, although we didn't have the chance to take away any of the pictures we took.(Buy an expensive camera if it will help you nail your exposure and framing at the perfect moment, not because it will fuzz up your background.Rafi Letzter/Business Insider)Īnd portrait mode isn't about offering you control. You simply tap this button and you switch to the closer view, it's as simple as that. To use that zoom lens is simple, as there's a "2x" button in the viewfinder window. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 camera: Using that zoom The Note 8's inclusion of OIS on the telephoto lens should mean that those longer zoomed shots are more stable, so remain sharper. In truth, it's the telephoto lens that needs the stabilisation more because (a) it's a slower lens with that f/2.4 aperture and (b) handshake at longer focal lengths has an increased effect on the image. The iPhone 7 Plus only has OIS on the wide-angle lens, for example. You'll also notice that both rear cameras are equipped with optical image stabilisation, which is where Samsung is claiming it betters existing dual camera systems. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 camera: Optical image stabilisation Dual camera smartphones: The history running through to the Galaxy Note 8.Again, the f/1.7 aperture of the wide-angle camera is the same as the S8, suggesting that it's probably the same. You'll notice that there's a difference in the maximum aperture of the cameras, with f/2.4 and f/1.7 ratings respectively. The wide-angle lens isn't wide-angle like the LG G6, instead, it's a conventional camera, like the camera of the S8. This is the same idea as the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, meaning you can have 2x optical zoom from that lens, meaning no loss of quality when you do so. Samsung is using a pair of sensors on the rear of the Note 8, setup to give you a telephoto zoom option.

The Note has often been a testbed for future flagship features: just look back to the Note Edge, a device that set tone for Samsung devices to follow, we've also seen numerous software features appear on the Note before arriving on the S at the next launch.
