No dual rear camera for the Samsung Galaxy S8?

All previous reports and rumors indicated that the Samsung Galaxy S8 would be sporting a dual camera at its back, but a new leak right out of China has disrupted those reports. A popular source on Weibo has leaked information which states that the S8 will not sport two cameras on its back, but will instead continue with a single camera sensor as usual. This comes as quite surprising, especially since top competitor Apple themselves have also shifted onto the dual-camera setup from this year with the iPhone 7 Plus.

Update: It has also been indicated that the rumoured 6.2-inch version of the S8 will sport the dual-camera setup ditched by the regular variant. If it's true, then this would mean that Samsung is about to follow the same route as Apple, by reserving its dual camera setup for the bigger version.
Now that the rumors regarding the camera of the S8 are in a bit of disarray, we will just have to wait and see if the rest of the rumors like the 6GB RAM, the edge-to-edge display and the surprisingly big 6.2-inch variant of the S8 actually come into existence.
