Samsung Galaxy Note8 is getting a new update bringing new features including AR Emoji and super slow-motion. However, the update is rolling out in phases across the globe currently. The firmware version of the update is N950FXXU5CRHA and mentions AR Emoji and Super Slow-Motion camera functions have been added to the device.
Furthermore, the update also brings the September month security patch as well. Since the AR Emoji and super slow-motion don’t entirely rely on specialized hardware, they are not limited to the S9 or the Galaxy Note9. The AR Emoji lets users create a digital faces of themselves mapped with their voice and facial movements. It also lets you create a set of animated stickers which can be used in third-party messaging apps as well.
As for the Slo-mo, it allows users to record slow-motion videos. The feature on the Galaxy S9 allows users to record 0.2s of video at 960fps in 720p resolution and 0.4s at 480fps in 720p in manual mode. But it is unclear at the moment if the Galaxy Note8 gets the same recording capabilities. The update is rolled out starting from France and we expect it to be rolled out to other markets across the globe.
