Samsung to prep a dual-camera setup by year's end, but it won't be in the Galaxy S7

Remember the rumors that both Samsung and Apple are hard at work exploring the virtues of an eventual dual camera setup? At the time, it was said that Samsung might have the tech ready for Galaxy S7 prime time, but new info debunks this myth, reconfirming the dual-camera tryouts, but claiming that it may enter Samsung phones after the S7 is launched.

The dual camera setup will allegedly be ready by year's end, though, but the world's largest phone maker might take its sweet time afterwards to consider how to implement it best, tips the source. Not only are two camera modules more expensive than one (duh!), but also take more space, so there will obviously be plenty of deliberations at Samsung where and in a what way will a dual camera unit make a cameo in a Samsung phone.

After all, LG already found a place for one with the new V10 that features a dual camera set at the front for taking better selfies without needing a stick, but as far as Samsung is concerned, the Galaxy S7 might be too mainstream for such shenanigans to occur.
