Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will take over from the iPhone 7 Plus a very interesting and extremely useful feature, which is the basis of the popular function of the new Apple smartphone. More precisely, I am talking about the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will have not only a dual camera, but also an image sensor with optical zoom up to 3X, better than the one in the iPhone 7 Plus.
Apple offers in the iPhone 7 Plus an optical zoom of up to 2X for recording photos, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will have one of up to 3X, so at a greater distance. Using the new image sensor of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, users will be able to focus better on objects at greater distances and will have a serious advantage over iPhone 7 Plus users.
This optical zoom image sensor in the iPhone 7 Plus was the basis of the popular Portrait feature, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could have a similar one on offer. Those from Samsung could offer a Portrait function in the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that could work even better thanks to the optical zoom that can be done at greater distances with the new dual camera.

Those from Apple tried to educate their customers about the usefulness of optical zoom, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could take things to a completely different level. With the possibility of 3X optical zoom, the dual camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would allow the recording of top portrait photos that include more of what is behind the user.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would use a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 13-megapixel telephoto camera with up to 3X optical zoom. The iPhone 7 Plus has two 12-megapixel sensors, one with optical zoom, so the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 would also have a better resolution for the image sensor that has optical zoom implemented.
"Samsung Electronics, for the first time, is also expected to adopt dual cameras for its flagship smartphone Galaxy Note 8 to be unveiled later this year. The dual cameras of the Note 8 are expected to include a 3X optical zoom, 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and 13-megapixel telephoto lens"
Although the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will surpass the iPhone 7 Plus when it comes to optical zoom, the situation could be much different when the iPhone 8 is released. In the new smartphone, Apple could implement optical zoom at a greater distance, so that the terminal it would have an advantage over the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 right from the moment it is available.
