The Portrait Backdrop mode allows users to create funky background effects.

Samsung has also included a ‘Made for India’ “Chat Over Video” feature with which users can watch videos while chatting. The feature has a transparent keyboard that pops up over the video so that users can type while watching content on the smartphone. Another ‘Make For India’ feature, Samsung Mall, is pre-loaded in the phone. The feature uses AI to let users shop by clicking a picture of the desired product and automatically getting results for the item across popular e-commerce platforms.
