According to Korean Herald, Samsung Galaxy S8 will incorporate the iris scanner and dual-lens camera. “Samsung never uses the same camera for its flagship models, upgrading the camera of its flagship device every year, so there surely will be an improvement (for the S8 camera),” the report quoted an official from one of Samsung’s parts suppliers for the S8.

According to the official, this will increase the revenue of the suppliers and the module makers. Two of the major suppliers of camera modules for Samsung’s S8, and smartphone lens makers include Sekonix and Kolen, lens makers for the iris camera. Few part suppliers of Galaxy Note 7 will remain as the main supplier’s for S8 as well. To say, Partron and MCNEX supplied iris scanner sensors for the Note 7 and will likely remain the suppliers for the S8’s biometric sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is widely anticipated sometimes in February 2017. To recap, the Galaxy S8 will be a successor to Samsung's current flagshio lineup - Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. We can also expect an "edge" variant of the forthcoming Galaxy S8.
