Chinese smartphone maker Blackview has quietly introduced what it claims to be the world's first full-screen smartphone to feature four cameras. Dubbed Blackview S8, the new handset comes with two cameras on the back and two on the front for taking selfies.

The Blackview S8, which is set to get Android Oreo update by the end of this year, has seen "extremely strong'' number of pre-orders, suggesting that a lot of people are excited about this new handset. The phone comes with a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio, which, together with a thickness of only 8.5mm, gives the handset an appealing appearance.
