Galaxy Note 8 might come with dual cameras and a 6.4-inch display

Insiders familiar with the matter claim that the successor of the ill-fated Note 7 would launch as the first Samsung handset with a dual camera setup. However, nothing is official yet.

More than just a few rumors claimed that Samsung's Galaxy S8 flagships would be the first handsets of this South Korean giant to use a dual camera setup. Sadly, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are both shipping already, and none of them has such a feature. Now, we hear about a new Note phablet that is expected to offer a dual camera setup.

According to market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, both Galaxy S8 flagships available are selling better than expected and the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 will offer a dual-camera setup with 3X optical zoom, 12 MP wide-angle CIS with 2PD and 13 MP telephoto CIS, dual OIS and dual 6P lenses. He also claims that the "Note 8’s dual-camera will be much better than that of iPhone 7 Plus, and likely match that of OLED iPhone."

Kuo also mentioned other features of the upcoming 6.4-inch phablet, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895 processor (depending on region), a rear-facing fingerprint reader, and a QHD+ OLED screen.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
