Definition

A camera feature that simulates the shallow depth-of-field effect of a DSLR camera, blurring the background to make the subject stand out. It typically uses algorithms to detect the subject and differentiate it from the background.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Both phones offer portrait modes, but Samsung is praised for its refined implementation, especially when using its telephoto lenses, achieving a natural-looking background blur and excellent edge detection.
