every camera feature from the galaxy s7
is already in Samsung's new note 7 phone
but this stylus slinger takes the camera
controls further by adding support for
gestures now you can swipe right to
bring up filters and swipe left for
other menu items to move between front
and rear cameras just swipe up or down
the menu grid makes it easy to see the
effect in real time so you can quickly
choose the filter that looks best
without any second guessing the note
sevens 12 megapixel camera to clean
crisp photos in my test shots and you
still get that optional screen flash for
selfies there are a lot of slider
controls for pinpointing the intensity
of those filters too but there is a
trick to swiping and if you don't do it
just so you're not going to get the menu
you want which can be really frustrating
when I held the phone in landscape I
sometimes accidentally tapped the back
and recent buttons which kicked me out
of the app so then I had to start over
again moral of the story the new
gestures are good overall but watch
where you rest those fingers
