It's a neat feature but does it ever need so much work.
It looks over processed. I get much better results using a regular photo and then applying filters in CC myself.
It really messes up with flowers. Anything with intricate edges. etc. For novice work where most will be looking at snapshots on a phone screen, etc. it will do. Kind of disappointed at the distance and light requirements as well. Samsung's camera app has had this feature for a while now and it works better. Comparing it to a DSLR with a F1.2 prime is hilarious.
That being said, we are asking a LOT for a phone. If you showed pictures in this thread to someone just five years ago and said they were taken with a smart phone they'd laugh at you or worse. But that's how tech works.
It does have some confusion with hair, flowers, soft edges of objects, etc.
Look at this and how it blurs the background...
IMO, it works very well for being a software blur and not a physical/optical blur (like with a real SLR/DSLR and a nice prime lens)
