Infrared Sensor, 08 Nov 2016Some suggestion for Samsung from me: 1. Samsung need to pu... moreinfrared sensor is already in every recent samsung flagship, second one is kinda pointless, because its more useful to lower the price and it will attract more customers that a gift card. Third one sounds like a great idea, but i doubt that samsung will do this.

        Having owned an LG G5 for a month or so (I switch phones a lot), a wide angle lens is the most useful 2nd lens option. The camera on the G5 is outstanding and the brightness and image quality great too. You can get great scenic or interior shots, and best of all, capture more people in a group! Hope Samsung put one in the S8 and Note '8'.

                Samsung shouldn't release any new flagship phone before they can figure out what cause the note 7 to explode, if they really believe customers' safety always come first.

                  Some suggestion for Samsung from me:
                  1. Samsung need to put a infrared Sensor in S8 for tv remote control and Air condition.
                  2. Give a $20 Play store card in the box.
                  3. Give wireless ear buds instead of wired headphone.
                  Believe me you will attract a huge number of consumers who are unhappy now and decided wont buy another samsung phone. It wont costs you so much...Cm on.

                      Soon, there will be 4 cameras at the back.
                      This one is just the beginning.
                      Gee, if someone is gonna take a picture, which camera they are going to look at?

                        Spudly Mcgudly, 08 Nov 2016I can understand why Samsung would want to make sure this p... moreIt won't be sooner. People are still upset over the Note 7 and they will have doubts about the quality with them releasing it so soon. And there's no conclusion yet on what cause the Note 7 to pop.

                                If the dual cameras will appear like that, it would be a phone with ugliest dual cameras!!

                                  I can understand why Samsung would want to make sure this phone is perfect, but I'd still take this report with a pinch of salt. With no Galaxy Note 7 to prop up flagship sales for Samsung it makes little sense for them to delay the S8's release until April. Plus work on the S8 would have started a long time ago, way before the Note 7 fiasco, and not having to bug fix and update that particular handset should free up development for the S8. So if anything it should be sooner and not later.
