  My suspicion is that the main purpose behind the multiple rear cameras is mostly to more easily create depth mapping and improved accuracy location metadata.

    As someone with a 3+1 camera phone who likes taking photos, it’s a huge improvement over a single lens. I wouldn’t buy a single lens phone again.

  i mean, size constraints, sure. But camera bumps ONLY get bigger, and more unreasonable. Remember the iphone 6? little itty bitty nub. That’s not the case anymore.

  apple? (Idk, i dont care tbh) recently unveiled the incredible technology known as “two mirrors” in order to abuse the dimensions of an iphone to get a longer focal length.

  Even then, surely you could just put a bigger, higher resolution sensor on it, and then use digital zooming instead. That way it at least pretends to have features. Even then why bother adding more features, it’s a phone, all it’s going to do is be a nuisance at family gatherings. Because for some reason people HAVE to take pictures of everything.

    I think the laws of optics starts to conflict with this

      maybe? I still feel like there just has to be a better solution than “hey lets just add more camera”

        If they could save money by doing everything with one camera and lens, don’t you think they would?

        People want better pictures. The only solution engineers could figure out was to put more camera modules. Why do you care how it’s done? One bump or ten, the phone is already thicker.

    Smaller sensors pick up less and less light, forcing to bump iso. Limiting low light photography or dealing with very grainy low contrast images

      which would be why i would argue to just min max on the one camera. Overall a better camera, maybe not as versatile, but meh.

        I think it’s a size constraint. Bigger sensors also require larger lenses. In regular DSLR world a micro four thirds sensor, the sensor size is half the size of a traditional full frame sensor. The lenses are also half the size of a fullframe camera’s lenses and require far less glass and weight.

        We can fit 3 smaller sensors with three smaller lenses in a smartphone. Trying to make any of those sensors bigger will require more space than a phone can provide.

        I’m no expert just a hobbyist take my word with a grain of salt lol

    Digital zooming fucking sucks though and is only as good as the quality of the optics/the sensor resolution. At that point you might as well go schmitt cassegrain instead, especially when you’re taking the top shelf binned sensors anyway.

  now I had to keep up with a bag that held all my attachments.

  That seems to be what they want. Or, where do you keep your USBc<->3.5mm conversion dongle if not in the bag with your headphones, lens clip, etc – in your kitchen drawer.
