London – Those obsessed with selfies have a new tool at their fingertips: a phone that will ‘fix’ your face.

A new generation of handsets comes with software that airbrushes pictures automatically.

Manufacturer Samsung says the Beauty Face function on its smartphones ‘corrects facial imperfection automatically when taking portrait pictures’.

It will smooth your skin, remove wrinkles and blemishes and even make your eyes slightly wider.

‘With the Beauty Face mode, you become a little more beautiful,’ claims a promotional video.

Though retouching apps and filters are available for those who want to tweak their image, it’s raising some eyebrows that this wizardry is being built in. ‘We worry about our looks enough without our phones chiming in,’ says one critic.
