Millions of Brits live life through a lens rather than enjoying the experience, according to research.

The study, commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of their new Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones, found one third of adults will take pictures during a gig, night out or event, snapping an average of 12 photos.

More than a third will also spend time taking photos on social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram, and are most likely to take snaps at a wedding, a day out with family or a night out with friends.
