That Samsung will release its upcoming Galaxy Note 8 with dual cameras gets another pat on the back. In fact, the camera modules on board the Note 8 is being developed by Samsung itself, says The Investor.

Citing multiple industry sources, The Investor went on to state that Galaxy Note 8 will be the first device from Samsung to flaunt dual-lens cameras which will be supplied by the Korean company itself. And in all probability, this will increase the cost of the device as the dual-lends module price is almost 1.5-fold more expansive than a single-lens camera.
