The dual camera sensors that will be arriving on Note 8 could be a low power consuming module that carries support for high-speed autofocus. The dual camera sensor may support low-light photography and it could be enabled with anti-shake feature.

The above image shows the difference between snapping images with a single camera sensor and a dual camera system. Even in the dark, the Galaxy Note 8’s dual cameras would be able to shoot bright and clear images. This feature may become available on the Note 8 as Super Night Shot. Another image shows how high dynamic range (HDR) helps in improving a dull image.

With depth application, the dual camera sensors will be able to refocused image by calculating the height of the subject and distance between camera and the subject. This will make it possible for the user to blur the foreground or background after a photo has been shot.

With Smart Zoom, users will be able to apply 3x digital zoom as well as 3x optical zoom to shoot clearer images. The loseless zoom will make it possible to zoom an image without losing its colors and details. The Perspective Effect feature will allow users to rotate the image to pre-defined degrees.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be the first flagship from the South Korean company to feature dual rear cameras. However, if we believe what a Chinese leakster is claiming, the upcoming Galaxy C (2017) and Galaxy A (2018) models will be decked with dual rear cameras.

The Chinese leakster has already claimed a few months ago that the Samsung Galaxy C10 would be the first phone from the company to feature a dual rear camera system. It is said to be powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset. Samsung is also rumored to release Galaxy C10 Plus alongside the Galaxy C10.

The leakster has also revealed that the Chinese Galaxy J7 (2017) with model number SM-J7310 will be also equipped with dual rear cameras.

Samsung Galaxy phones are struggling in China. Since the manufacturing costs for dual rear camera systems have dropped down significantly, a lot of well-known and even lesser known brands are providing dual rear cameras on their smartphones. Hence, dual cameras on mid-range Samsung phones will allow it to compete with other smartphone OEMs in China.

Since the launch of Galaxy C10 duo has been delayed, there is no information on which will be the first Samsung phone to feature dual rear cameras. Recent leaks have revealed that the Galaxy Note 8 will be totting horizontally arranged dual rear cameras. with dual-tone dual-LED flash on its right. Rumors also suggest that the Galaxy S9 could be the first Galaxy S series phone with dual rear cameras. As far as Galaxy Note 8’s release is concerned, it is speculated to launch either in August or second half of September. The Galaxy C10 series is now rumored to launch later this year.
