Samsung is set to reveal the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in just a few hours, and the South Korean company has released two videos to tease the upcoming flagship phablet.

The first video looks at the phone's photographic capabilities, showing what appears to be a new ability to take photos using depth-of-field bokeh effects made possible by a dual-camera setup, similar to what we've seen with the Huawei Mate 9 and P10. The video also gives us a look at the optical zoom function. Both these features have been rumored for a while, and this video just confirms them.

The next video is a bit more vague, as it shows a man using a number of different pens, pencils and brushes to create a bunch of cartoonish images on a wall. This could be hinting at the stylus of the Note 8 and a possible feature that will allow users to draw using a number of different brush types.

We will know more once the Samsung Note 8 is officially launched on August 23, 2017.
