The alleged smartphone under the name Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will get a dual camera, whose manufacturer will be Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The camera is, in particular, will support the blur effect of the background as “portrait mode” the iPhone 7 Plus.
We will remind, earlier it was assumed that Galaxy Note 8 will be the first Samsung smartphone with dual camera. However, then came the message that the next smartphone of Samsung Galaxy series C will receive double the camera before the Galaxy Note 8.
According to earlier rumors, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a considerably larger display than its predecessor — the diagonal of 6.4 inches. The screen is made by technology Super AMOLED, and the resolution is QHD+ or 4K. Discounted to the changed proportions, 4K can mean, for example, 4428 x 2160 pixels. The basis must lie a Qualcomm processor Snapdragon or Exynos brand 835 9-series, 6 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal flash memory.
Galaxy Note 8 will have a design in the style of the Galaxy S8 with a very small edges at the top and bottom of the display without the traditional home button below the screen and with a dedicated button for voice assistant Bixby on the left side, near the volume controls.
