years and its popularity shows no sign of stopping. The word ‘wefie’ has
entered the urban dictionary as a photo taken in the same fashion as a selfie,
but with two or more people and Samsung is poised to lead this trend with the

Reflecting this recent consumer trend, the NX mini has a range of exclusive
features which allow photographers to effortlessly indulge in the global trend
of self-shooting. With a 75.2mm (3.0-inch) Flip up and Touch
Display that flips 180-degrees and an ultra-slim 9mm wide angle lens, users can frame images
of themselves perfectly, capture group shots from an arm’s length away and easily be part of group memories. The NX mini’s powerful optical
performance delivers high quality images that are crisp and
clear, ensuring that subjects in the photos are always looking their best.

Maintaining a flattering pose while attempting to press the shutter
release button when self-shooting can be tricky, but the NX mini’s new Wink
shot feature makes it the perfect hands-free way to
capture the real you. Users simply need to set up their
shot and wink at the camera to capture an image. Once a wink is detected, the
NX mini takes a shot automatically after two seconds, without users having to
press any buttons.
