Because everyone definitely wants some Facebook-affiliated software pre-installed on their smartphone, Samsung announced at the Feb. 20 Unpacked event that its Galaxy S10 camera would come with an Instagram mode.

Exciting, right? The mode, the result of a Samsung and Instagram partnership, would place Stories features directly in the phone's camera app. Think stickers, locations, etc., all at the tip of your fingers without having to leave the camera app itself.

Details on the mode are light at this time (like, for example, if users will be able to disable it), but this partnership clearly shows that Samsung is looking to differentiate the user experience on its devices.

And, yeah, a little bloatware will definitely do that.
