So much has been written about Samsung's upcoming flagship from its popular Note-series, the Galaxy Note 8, as its release date draws near. The curiosity around the device is precipitated by the ill-fated Note 7 (the phone had to be recalled because of a faulty battery). Several details of the device have been leaked by now, and the latest we heard is about the dual camera.

It was earlier reported that the Galaxy Note 8 would boast of a dual rear camera – 12MP wide-angle camera and a 13MP telephoto lens, and an autofocus front-snapper. Now, KGI Securities analyst Guo Ming, who has a good record of getting predictions right, has claimed that the upcoming flagship will have a dual module built by Samsung and it will feature a 13MP sensor with a wide-angle lens and a 12MP sensor with a telephoto lens, according to MyDrivers (in Chinese).
