One thing that got my attention during the Galaxy Note 8 event yesterday was the demonstration of its dual optical stabilization, which appears to be substantially better than other OIS systems on the market today: the company compared it to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the results suggest that Note 8 photogs are sure to get clearer shots. The new “Live Focus” mode, which lets users adjust depth-of-field, also appears to be superior.

In addition to the Live Focus tool, the Note 8's dual cameras also sport optical-image stabilization (OIS) and 10x digital zoom. During the demo, Samsung showed off how steady the picture on the Note 8 was compared with an iPhone by sticking both to a vibrating box. Indeed, even when I jabbed at the surface on which the phones were resting, the image in the Note 8's viewfinder didn't budge. It almost felt like Samsung had placed a screenshot on the Note 8. Meanwhile, the iPhone's photos in the same vibration test all came out fuzzy.
 
I wonder how it compares to Oneplus 5 dual camera. I think these guys were the first one's to release a device with 2 cameras this year right?
 
So.. .like a newer camera and newer software in a roughly equivalently priced flagship model is outperforming a year old camera and software? That's nigh unbelievable.

Shit's not news, it'd be news if it didn't. It'd be news if some small fry was kicking everyone's ass. Samsung releasing their marginal improvement slightly before apple releases THEIR marginal improvement isn't news.
 
Wow, Samsung managed to copy an Apple design from a year ago, and manage to improve on it for once.

Don't worry though Samsung, if your now all tapped out for ideas, Apple will be releasing 3 new phones very soon, and I'm sure there will be plenty to fire your photocopiers up for next year!
