Galaxy A8

Perfect your selfie

Live Focus on the Dual Front Camera blurs the background so you and your friends stand out. You can also decorate your selfies with stickers using face-recognition technology. And by enabling Beauty effect, your selfies can come out stunning.

Get the shot in any light
