According to Samsung "The line-up reinforces the Samsung Galaxy design heritage, combining metal and glass to create a beautiful premium exterior with a narrower bezel, for an exceptional viewing experience. " The range "also comes equipped with an enhanced camera system for brighter and clearer photos and videos," said Samsung, "The advanced system includes Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) to prevent image blurring, as well as a front and rear F1.9 lens to allow users to take the best photos in dark conditions."
