For landscape lovers, the Ultra Wide camera’s 123° angle of view combined with an intelligent distortion correction makes taking stunning panoramic shots a breeze. But no matter the shot you’re going for, the improved Scene Optimizer, thanks to the Exynos 9820’s NPU, ensures your shots come out looking their best with Local Tone Mapping and Flaw Detection. For professional composition, the Galaxy S10’s Shot Suggestion guides you to an ideal photo composition based on the NPU’s machine learning that leverages analyses of over 100 million high-quality photos.
