Take Better Photos with the Dual Cameras

In our opinion here at GottaBeMobile, the BIGGEST reason to buy the Galaxy Note 8 is for the dual camera configuration. Yes, we've seen this before from LG, OnePlus, Apple, Huawei and other companies, but Samsung is one of the best.

Samsung is an industry leader when it comes to its smartphone cameras, and the Note 8 is no different. In fact, now you have two cameras with features like dual capture or 2x optical zoom.

The same award-winning camera experience on the Galaxy S8 is on the Note 8. You have two 13 Dual Pixel cameras on the back. One takes regular photos with a fast f/1.8 aperture and works great even in low-light situations. The second camera is a 13 Dual Pixel f/2.4 telephoto zoom lens with 2x optical and 10x digital zoom. Better yet, both cameras on the back feature optical image stabilization -- the first smartphone with such a claim.

Meaning you'll get great photos during the day, at night, and even when you zoom in extremely close. Having OIS on the zoom lens simply makes sense, and makes the experience vastly better than most on the market.

Yes, you still have 4k video recording and everything else that makes Samsung phone cameras great.
