I can just download it or do I need to root it?

I’m likely going to try to keep the phone as stock as possible just by getting new apps.

It should have the touchwiz, which allows it a number of neat camera modes like freeze frame action sports where the figure goes across the screen in many shots or automatic GIF action files where you highlight what part you want to move.
