Speculation is still circulating about whether Samsung will use a dual-camera setup in its new Galaxy S7.

While there are advantages to a dual-camera feature, including real field depth and more post-processing tools, there are also pitfalls, seeing as how other brands (notably HTC) have attempted this feature only to be met with a lukewarm response, according to G4Games.

Either way, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will not feature a dual-camera, according to Phone Arena.

According to the publication, although Samsung is developing the technology, it will not be included in the company's latest flagship.

Apparently, the technology giant is taking baby steps with this feature, deciding to analyze its market following the release of Galaxy's next offering before plunging in.

Reasons for this, as revealed to Phone Arena by an insider in the industry, include the fact that the setup drives up production costs because of a second module.

Another deterrent against dual-camera technology are the difficulties presented in design and software, the insider stated.

With that said, Samsung will be launching three different versions of the Galaxy 7, each featuring different processors and in different parts of the world.

One version, aimed at the Indian market, is said to feature the brands own Exynos 7422 chipset.

Another version featuring the Exynos 8890 (Exynos M1) is said to be going to Korea, Japan and markets around Europe.

Finally, consumers in China and the U.S. will supposedly receive the Snapdragon 820 SoC version.

Time will tell which rumor will become reality as Samsung supporters eagerly await its flagship smartphone, due to be out in a few months time.
