The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has one of the best smartphone camera setups on the market. Dual 12MP rear cameras and an 8MP selfie camera, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), make the Note 9 the closest thing to a pro-grade camera you can get without picking up a DSLR. Here are the key features of the Samsung Note 9's camera.

One of the most notable features of the Note 9 camera is its AI capability that enables unique scene detection. When using either the front- or rear-facing camera with Scene Optimizer, the camera automatically samples the subject and surroundings to determine the best settings for the photo. It adjusts the exposure, contrast, brightness, and white balance to capture the best photos possible.

Scene Optimizer has 20 modes, allowing the camera to precisely adjust color, temperature, white balance and other settings so you get the best possible photo every time. These modes include:

Open the camera settings and select Scene optimizer to turn it on or off. When you take photos in automatic mode, an icon will appear in the center at the bottom of the image indicating what type of scene the camera lens has detected.
