The pioneering front and rear cameras on the Galaxy S8 and S8+ work day and night. They’re so fine-tuned that your photos come out bright and clear even when there's very little light.

Front Camera

Selfies done right

Turn on the selfie camera and take photos that everyone will want to share. Smart Auto Focus tracks faces, so whether you use your arm or a selfie stick, everyone in the shot will be in focus. And enhanced multi-frame image processing keeps all the selfies crisp and clear.
