ISSUE 46 • ANDROID ADVISOR 73PREVIEWSamsung’s Note 8 has a 12Mp dual-lens camera
with dual-OIS and 2x optical zoom.
It’s been claimed that the Galaxy S9 will be able
to shoot incredible 1,000fps slow-mo video. This will
apparently be achieved using a three-layered image
sensor that adds DRAM to the sensor and logic chip,
which began mass production in November. This
builds on the two-layered approach seen in current
high-end smartphones, though Sony has also used a
three-layer system in its XZ Premium and XZ1 phones.
Ports and connections
Samsung introduced USB-C rather than Micro-USB for
the Galaxy S8, though it didn’t follow the likes of Apple
in removing the 3.5mm headphone jack and relying
on wireless or USB-C audio. There is a danger it could
take that plunge this time around, though nothing has
yet been confirmed.
