We continue the theme of smartphones with multiple cameras. How much did the shooting of modern mobile phones improved? And what models are relevant at the end of 2020 and early 2021?
I am unlikely to surprise the multi-chart today, the market is replete with such devices. Previously, three or four cameras were the prerogative of exceptionally flagship smartphones, today such a "luxury" became the norm. Even the third echelon producers has multi-chamber mobile phone in its assortment and offers them at actually affordable prices.
One thing remained unchanged if you want to get really high-quality pictures and videos - do not save. Now this does not require the budget of the flagship, as before, and it is enough to look at the mid-level devices, which are also removed very worthy.
Why is the smartphone three or four cameras?
Modern smartphones are not just communication devices, but also perform an important function - almost replace the camera. The mirror with a replaceable lens, of course, will not replace, but multifunctionality and mobility that are available to smartphones, professional cameras are deprived. Instantly upload photos and videos to the network there is a lot of things, so it is worth a better phone to the cameras of your future phone.
The possibilities of mobile shooting increased several times, this contributes to the increase in the number of chambers themselves, each of which performs its function. Depending on the task, the snapshots are associated with one whole frame, thereby the beautiful creative photos are obtained.
What functions do smartphone cameras?
- The main chamber is a center and is responsible for the quality of the photo and video. It depends on how ideal to get the result. An important role is played by software and optimization.
- Black and White Camera (Depth Sensor) - The main camera removes through a color RGB filter that does not capture all parts, in this case the sensor removes in black and white tones helps. Thus, more data coverage occurs, which will have a positive effect, for example, during night survey.
- Wide-angle chamber - the wider review, the more objects can cover the photo sensor. It is necessary when you want to make a group photo or capture the panorama.
- Tele lens The camera - helps to see what is in distance, has an arsenal optical zoom. Unlike a digital zoom, there is clearer shots when approaching. Often the role of the telephoto set is performed by the main sensor.
- Macro-camera - is responsible for neighboring, allowing you to make beautiful pictures from a distance of several centimeters.
