Malaika Vaz: My experience of filming on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G has been beyond special

The phone was confined in a specially-designed case made for underwater photography, but that didn’t get in the way of the real point that Samsung wanted to make in its marketing stunt.

The crew traveled to Fuvamulah, the shark island of Maldives, to chance upon the ironic Tiger Sharks, one of the ocean’s greatest predators but also gentle around humans (unless provoked, of course). While waiting for the sharks to appear, Vaz also had the opportunity to encounter other forms of marine wildlife in their natural habitat and, more importantly, in great and colorful detail.
