The whole "portrait mode" effect has become a very popular addition to smartphone photography. In fact, it's the main selling point of many smartphones with dual cameras.

Neither effect is true to a natural bokeh that is seen on a larger format camera, but that's beside the point. Instagram is launching a new bokeh camera mode as part of its Stories camera UI.

The official page uses some dubious superlatives. It starts with a 4,000 mAh "monster battery", admittedly large, but nothing a certain 5" phone can't match.
