People are all asking one question after seeing phone's incredible ‘camouflage’
A video of the feature has gone viral - but for the wrong reasons
Technology can do some pretty wonderful things nowadays, though that doesn't mean people are not left shocked by the latest inventions.
With Apple releasing a new iPhone every single year and its competitors doing similar, it can be easy to miss the unique additions each new device has to offer.
Of course, some features are more useful than others, with some just outright bizarre and even pointless in some cases.
One particular feature on a Samsung mobile phone has left a lot people asking the same question.

The feature in action was first posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, in February last year.
"Y’all this is cool asf Apple could never," a caption from the X user @BossScotch read.
The video showcased a Samsung device alongside an Apple iPhone, though it was the latter you could only see as the short clip began.
Despite both phones having the backgrounds of leaves that they were lying in on display, the Samsung phone was in fact completely under a 'camouflage’.
The user then - rather surprisingly - picked up the Samsung phone from the leaves.
Well, the video has gone viral once more thanks to a recent tweet.
Quote tweeting the video, one user wrote: "For what possible reason would i need my phone to camouflage."
A fair point for sure, but the feature is still pretty cool, right?
Well, it seems not many agree, with the majority not exactly impressed or see the point in the phone going into this 'camouflage' mode.
"It’s like how AirPod cases camouflage into your bed sheets and you can never find them," one user joked.
"Like when exactly does this feature become practical in the real world?" someone else questioned.
"It's not about camouflage, they are just showing you How real to life the screen is, The colors and the camera," another remarked.
In other phone news, Apple has started making payments to customers who were affected by company 'deliberately slowing down iPhones'.
While maintaining that they did nothing deliberately wrong nor illegal, a 2020 settlement saw Apple agree to pay $310-500 million to the iPhone users affected to 'avoid burdensome and costly litigation'.
And that sum has since been confirmed as $500 million - with each person slowly receiving a lot more than the $25 originally predicted, the BBC reported.
Two MacRumors readers among those listed as eligible for compensation have reported being sent $92.17 each, according to the outlet.
