10 things you didn’t know you could do with a smartphone

The phone’s camera recognizes fonts, objects, and even restaurants.

Apps like Amazon’s Flow (available for iOS and Android) can recognize objects, places, and even text. While the new function Google Lens, that is a part of Google Assistant (available for iOS), can recognize any restaurant by its photo and offer information about its ratings and reviews from visitors. The app WhatTheFont can tell you which font you’re looking at by simply scanning a picture of it.
