Less than a week before the official launch of Galaxy Note8, Samsung has released two new video trailers revealing upcoming the flagship device's capabilities.
In the first teaser, Samsung highlights the key feature of Galaxy Note8's camera: Bokeh Effect, which helps users capture stunning images with a clear focus on the subject, while the surrounding scene gets blurred. The interesting thing to note in the clip is that the company hints that the device will be able to offer Bokeh effect on both long shot mode (subject very far from the camera) and macro photography mode (subject very near to the camera).
