So, ‘closed’ is replaced with ‘open’, ‘follow’ is replaced with ’lead’, ’talk’ is replaced with ‘act’ and so on. The teaser ends with ‘Do bigger things’. That the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be a big-screen phone is a foregone conclusion. But display is not the only USP this time around. The Galaxy Note 8 is also expected to be the first Samsung phone to sport a dual rear camera setup. According to a report in GSMArena, the dual rear camera will allegedly be housing one 12 MP sensor with dual-pixel autofocus paired with a 13 MP telephoto camera. The 13 MP telephoto camera is expected to provide a 2x fixed optical zoom. Both the camera sensors will come with optical image stabilisation.

The dual rear cameras on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are expected to also offer the background blur effect. According to GSMArena, Samsung took its own sweet time with getting a dual rear camera on its smartphones, and will most likely continue the trend on its high-end smartphones going forward. In yet another update, Samsung revealed some more information about its upcoming Galaxy Note 8. According to notes on a support page, the Galaxy Note 8 will most likely come in a dual SIM variant for the European markets.
