The Galaxy S8 is expected to be one of the biggest smartphones to be announced in the coming weeks. As expected, rumors about it have been rife for some time now. For those of you planning to get one, a new Korean source reveals that the new smartphone will feature an 8MP front camera.
The rumored 8MP front camera will also include an autofocus encoder that will replace the usual VCM. This new feature will allow the phone to have a more versatile camera module.
It should be noted that what Samsung is trying to do is a big surprise, as autofocus is considered a feature of the rear camera, while the front camera usually has fixed focus. The only thing that is certain is that this detail will attract the attention of many consumers who want to make video calls from the front camera.
According to the report, Samsung has started to strengthen the front camera of more and more smartphones including the Galaxy A series 2017. It is therefore evident that the company is investing in the front camera this year after in 2016 it had focused on the rear by introducing the dual Pixel autofocus system.
The Galaxy A7 and Galaxy A5 (2017) feature a 16MP selfie camera, the same resolution as the rear camera.
When it comes to the front camera resolution of the Samsung S7 and S8, we are essentially talking about the same capability, with the only difference being the autofocus feature of the S8. The Galaxy S8 Plus will be the only one to feature a dual camera on the back. However, both phones (S8 and S8 Plus) are rumored to be unveiled during MWC 2017.
