    Later onwards, iPhone 8 is going to copy this feature, and iSheep be like, "This is such an amazing innovation! Bet others going to copy this feature too." Sad, just sad .

      These changes should truly improve focus speed and low-light shooting, but does anyone know if there will be any improvement in dynamic range?

                  Hi any comments on the Samsung speaker on bottom side of the device?
                  How is the sound? Good quality? Decent lows? How is the volume?
                  I am coming from an HTC One M7 and a bit worried about losing too much sound quality ...

                      I thought they have a limited area which has these autofocus pixels.

But when you realize such a strange and ugly phone as S7, then I can't tell the truth about what it looks like and especially with trivial parts facilities. A company that is not complying with the procedure, in such way.
                                  Best regards.

                                    Guys, do you think Canon and Nikon could learn from this tech? I think its amazing for videos & DSLRs could use it well, although they're not bad right now....

                                      From the video posted at the end it doesn't look like it works as well as they want us to believe.. It struggled 2 or 3 times from what i can tell. LG V10's laser focus system is on par with this. Although the person in the video was moving the phone entirely too fast, i would love to see this and the LG V10 going to head to head in a more comprehensive review. We shall see that soon enough :)
