what's going on Brian's song here and welcome to Google Isha's for all the Google you can think of the no date will be officially announced on August the 23rd but while we wait new details are leaking out now the note 8 will bring Samsung's first dual lens camera system for their flagship phone line we haven't heard much about it until new info was just released by Samsung electro-mechanics who is believed to be the supplier from the note 8 and tool lens camera now in a breakdown on the website specifications for a dual lens camera component show off its capabilities like optimal image stabilization and HDR support but what's really interesting they also show off a quality comparison between a 3x digital zoom and a 3x optical zoom this is likely the first smartphone to feature a true 3x optical zoom we've only seen 2x up to this point you know what that's pretty sweet now another feature is perspective shift and since an image is taken from two slightly different angles you'll be able to slightly change its perspective by rotating your phone it will also bring even better low-light photography with a system Samsung calls super night shot because you have to call it something catchy 2 sensors are better than one and will be able to pull in more light in darker environments now during the recent earnings report a samsung executives said the note 8 will feature more advanced and richer multimedia functionalities this back setup now none of these features have been confirmed but August 23rd is just around the corner cameras have become one of the most important parts of the smartphone and this all looks good for note 8 fans now flip phones aren't dead especially in Asia but would you go back to one of them with the same features of today's phones well Samsung's SMG 92 98 has been leaked out on slash leaks and check out this sleek flip phone with a 4.2 inch display a 12 megapixel camera and a fingerprint scanner don't plan on seeing this in the US any time soon but it's still pretty cool to see a high-end flip phone that has staying power alright a report from gadget 360 says Samsung is working on getting their Samsung pay platform to non Samsung phones the big difference compared to other services like Apple pay or Android pay is that you can use Samsung pay on both NFC payment machines and the older magnetic strip based ones it's really been this way from the start now according to the report Samsung is in talks with other OEMs about making it available on other high-end smartphones which obviously points you in the direction of LG Google HTC and other Android manufacturers okay a recent video by on leaks and my smart price is now showing off the pixel 2 in both of its sizes it's a follow up to the first renders that we're put out by Android police a few weeks ago now the video makes them look about the same but the pixel 2 is expected to come with a 4.99 inch display and the pixel XL 2 is expected to bring a larger 5.9 9 inch display we're still just a few months away but this is something to keep your appetite satisfied until then now in other Android news bluetooth battery indicators may finally be coming but it won't likely happen in the initial Android o release the current battery status of your connected devices has been a longtime Bluetooth standard but Google hasn't taken advantage of that in stock Android xda-developers has found that it will be coming to a future update but hopefully we see it in Android 8.1 and we won't have to wait for something like Android 9 for it and the Google clock app yes it adds an update for a darker theme there's a new icon and support for the coming Android oh the new dart theme is less harsh on the eyes when waking up and version 5.1 is now rolling out to devices on the Play Store alright that's it for this week you can email me at Google issues at CNN or tweet me at brian tom thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for some more of that Google inches you're delicious
