For switching between the front and rear cameras, Samsung's camera app allows you to swipe up or down or use the dedicated button, but it turns out you can also switch between the cameras by double pressing the home button after launching the camera. Earlier, doing so inside the camera app would do nothing, but Samsung has now extended the action to letting you quickly switch between the primary and selfie cameras. This feature is also available on the Galaxy A (2017) lineup even though they do not run Nougat yet.
This might not be something of much use to those who will be buying the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+, as the new flagships have relegated the camera launch action to the power button. But it's still nice to have many different ways of quickly going from capturing a landscape to taking a photo of yourself.
