"Consumers are highly anticipating the release of Samsung Galaxy S8 next February at the Mobile World Congress. Rumors suggest that the company’s next flagship smart phone will introduce auto-focus to its front camera. This will enable the user to take sharper selfies. Samsung will have to make this phone unforgettable especially after the set-back from the Note 7 this year.

Most smartphone manufacturers do to add the auto-focus to the front camera, preferring to rather add it to the rear. This is because front cameras are small and are often does not need auto-focus. However, with the trend of selfies spread so far and wide, it was about time that this feature was brought to front cameras too. Although some smartphones like Sony Xperia M6 and HTC Desire Eye have this feature, it is still quite rare.

Keeping the modern needs in view, Samsung has decided to bring the actuator drive auto-focus of the rear camera to the front. This will enable the user to take clearer and sharper selfies. It will also facilitate group selfies taken with selfies sticks where you have little control over focusing. It will focus on each face in the group and make them all sharp and clear.

The Korean company has not altered its front camera drastically over the years. While preferring to have a five-megapixel front camera, Samsung focuses on making the rear camera one of the best. Indeed, Galaxy 7’s back camera is one of the most impressive cameras available in smartphones. With this reputation for amazing cameras, it is right that Samsung is making the camera the most majestic feature of Galaxy 8.

Adding auto-focus actuators will not have any effect on the overall size of the camera but might cause a slight increase in the phone’s price. The auto-focus actuator will be fitted in the camera module and automatically adjust the focus and location of the lens.

Samsung Galaxy 8 is one of the most awaited phones of 2017. Many people believed that the Note 7 incident would adversely impact the sales of Samsung Galaxy 8 but recent data suggests that users might have forgiven Samsung. They say that the customers have forgotten the whole affair in anticipation of the exciting new features and better specifications of Galaxy 8. "
