putting an extra camera increased sales?

why lets add all the camers then for infinite sales!

Why do phones have so many cameras? What for?

[pennomi@lemmy.world]

Many camera for make many photo

[capuccino@lemmy.world]

i dunno, but what is funny to me is that I've never seen an actual photographic camera with more than one lens

[fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net]

You know, one sensor with a rotating lens selector might actually make sense?

[dannyboy@sh.itjust.works]

Anything requiring depth (3D video or photo) requires 2 cameras.

Most photographic cameras have interchangeable lenses as well. Instead of having interchangeable lenses on something that needs to be durable like a smartphone, they can ship with multiple fixed lenses.

We have come full circle!

I just got that one with the 4 camera spots recently, its the oneplus 12

I mostly got it because its fast and has a good battery life, but it also has decent cameras ig, although most people say the google pixels have better cameras

Anyways, it has a normal camera, a wide angle camera, a 3x zoom camera, and the last one is not a camera but an ambient light sensor and 13 channel light sensor (I think? its hard to find info on this actually)

People were saying it would have a full 12 channel actual image sensor there with a decently high resolution, but I guess that didn't end up happening

Because variable-zoom isn't possible at the thickness we tolerate in phones, so they need to add multiple fixed-zoom cameras

[wolflink@sh.itjust.works]

Most actual photographic cameras have some optics inside that can physically move to change the zoom level, something smartphones don’t have space for.

[grue@lemmy.world]

In addition to having different lenses, as others have mentioned, having multiple sensors enables a bunch of neat computational photography techniques.

I guess the question now is why does an ultra slim camera have a phone?

I have no idea either. The camera on any smart phone I've ever had is a wasted feature. I would rather have a faster processor or more memory or better battery. So I always try to buy the phone with the worst camera to save money.
