A new patent for what appears to be a future handset from Samsung has just been spotted doing rounds online. And some tech enthusiasts believe it could be for the next-generation Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that could come out in late 2017.

The schematic, presumably for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, depicts a dual-camera setup that will most likely be located on the phone's back. The two sensors, according to Phone Arena, is going to be housed in a thin chassis. This new setup will be able to collect more photons that will help improve the phone's camera performance in low-light situation.

This is apparently not the only leaked patent that has been released for the future handset, Samsung Galaxy Note 8. A post on Slash Leaks has showed some of the possible key specifications for the smartphone. It says there that the next-generation device could come with either a Snapdragon 835 System on Chip (SoC) or an in-house built Exynos chip.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 processor is also going to be supported by 6 GB of RAM with storage capacity reaching up to 256 GB. Furthermore, the phone will sport a 6.4-inch screen either with Quad HD display resolution or even higher, possibly 4K Super AMOLED.

It should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has yet to become official as Samsung hasn't released any statement yet. With that being said, it is highly advisable for the fans to take this with a pinch of salt and consider it as mere rumors until proven otherwise.

Meanwhile, the South Korea-based tech giant has seemingly announced its plans to release a refurbished version of its previous Note flagship, Enstars reported. It is still unclear, though, if the company would still push the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 this year. More news and clarification about the matter should probably emerge in the coming months.
