Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2017. After a bunch of speculation about the smartphone already floating on the web, new details have surfaced regarding the upcoming smartphone’s front camera.
Samsung Galaxy S8 may finally become the company's first smartphone to feature autofocus functionality on the front camera, a feature so far missing from even the flagship handsets of the South Korean titan. Samsung is planning to introduce autofocus functionality with the front camera on its upcoming flagship device, being dubbed Samsung Galaxy S8, instead of fixed-type, as per a report in South Korean media.
It has further been suggested that the smartphone will be using encoder technology instead of the existing voice coil motor mechanism for autofocus.
“People are starting to take more selfies and number of demands for cameras that take selfies with higher qualities is increasing,” an industry representative told etnews. The website also reported that Samsung is planning to use a slimmer technology for its front camera’s auto-focus module as compared to the rear camera’s to ensure that it doesn’t stick out.
the Galaxy S8 is likely to feature a 5.5-inch and 6.2 inch 4K panel with dual-edge curved display. It may be powered by two chipsets – a Snapdragon 830 for the US and Exynos 8895 for other regions. Samsung has already begun mass production of the chipsets, and they will be based on 10nm process. The smartphone could be available in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants.
On the connectivity front, the Galaxy S8 could come with a USB Type-C connectivity port, along with 4G LTE and VoLTE support, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Armed with a 4,200mAh battery, fast charging and wireless fast charging features are expected too. Other features such as a fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner, water and dust resistance and hear rate sensor are also expected on the Galaxy S8. On the software front, the Galaxy S8 could run on Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box.
