The camera also has plenty of sensors and features like laser & phase auto detection for ultra fast auto focus, even faster than the Galaxy S5, optical image stabilization as well as dual-LED flash for correct color tones for pictures taken in the dark.

If you want to use the camera, download a third-party camera app from the Play Store. There are many good third-party camera apps like Google Camera.
