A new video reveals Samsung may have had bigger plans for the Galaxy S8 front camera than we had previously thought. The video demonstrates that the front camera sensor is able to move around inside its housing in much the same way as the rear camera sensor, which does have OIS. It’s this movement on the rear camera module which allows it to counteract camera shake and stabilise the image. If this does prove to be evidence of a front-facing OIS system, it could bode well for future Samsung handsets. Previous leaks revealed that the Galaxy S8 may have originally been due to receive a dual rear camera, a feature which now looks likely to appear in the forthcoming Galaxy Note 8.
