Recently, Samsung filed a new trademark with the European patent office. The patent application is about a new camera feature called ‘Artistic Live Focus’ and while the filing doesn’t say which phone the feature would be seen on first, it will most likely be the upcoming Galaxy S10. Going by history, when Samsung uses such naming schemes, they usually end up on a phone, so unlike most other patents, this sure does have a chance of getting commercialized.

The ‘Artistic Live Focus’ basically seems like an extension of the ‘Live Focus’ mode that made a debut with the Galaxy Note 8 in August 2017. It is basically the chaebol’s own version of Portrait Mode and it adds a bokeh blur in the background so that the subject can be emphasized. It can also be adjusted after the shot. The Galaxy 10 series are already shaping up to be pretty great phones when it comes to the camera department, so it will be interesting to see what ‘Artistic Live Focus’ brings to the table to complement the camera hardware.
