In photography, Galaxy Note 8 features dual camera setup with the wide-angle lens having 12 MP while the telephoto lens having 13 MP capable of three times optical zooming. It has been reported that the device boasts certain camera effects such as Super Night Shot to improve lighting and color under dim lights and Depth Application to select specified focus on the desired subject.
Other notable improvements which might be included on Galaxy Note 8 are VR technology, Bixby virtual assistant from Samsung and an upgraded S Pen functionality. Preliminary technical specifications suggest that the phablet is powered by Exynos 8895 CPU or Snapdragon 835 for the U.S. model, 6 GB of RAM and 3,300 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is likely to be available for sale on September 15 with a possible price tag of at least $900.
