Dual cell phones. Why does a smartphone need a dual camera? Shooting in low light

The iPhone 7 Plus has two 12MP cameras. One module is wide-angle, it allows you to capture more light and take high-quality pictures even in low light conditions, and the second is telescopic, thanks to which a 2x optical zoom is implemented. So you can shoot closer shots and use the zoom without losing quality if the subject is far away.

The smartphone also uses a portrait mode that allows you to keep the foreground in focus and blur the background. The result is beautiful and expressive portrait photography, comparable to the quality of SLR cameras.

In addition to dual cameras, iPhone 7 Plus features a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, powerful Apple A10 Fusion processor, and stereo speakers. All this is enclosed in a thin metal case, protected from water and dust according to the IP67 standard.

Operating system: iOS 10. Processor: Apple A10 RAM: 3 GB

Huawei P10

Huawei was one of the first to launch smartphones with dual cameras, promoting this feature as a key one. Last year, a very successful P9 came out, in 2017 its successor, the Huawei P10, went on sale.

The novelty includes two camera modules developed jointly with the German company Leica. The first module is 12 megapixel color, the second is monochrome with a resolution of 20 megapixels. Automatically combines images from two cameras in an instant, producing beautiful shots with a wide dynamic range and excellent color reproduction.

Two-chamber is also used for the bokeh effect - a beautiful blur of the background. The device is also able to shoot distant objects without loss of quality - for this, a 2x hybrid zoom is used. Do not forget about optical stabilization, which does not allow you to take a blurry picture even in poor lighting conditions.

The rest of the specifications are as follows - a 5.1-inch display with Full HD resolution, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, an expandable memory card, an eight-core Kirin 960 processor and a 3200 mAh battery that supports fast charging using Huawei SuperCharge technology.

Honor 8

Another smartphone from the company with two cameras. Both modules have a resolution of 12 megapixels. One lens captures a black and white image, and the other a color image. Both frames are then merged almost instantly. This is necessary to expand the dynamic range - the ability to preserve details in the darkest and lightest parts of the frame.

To blur the background, the camera uses a wide aperture mode. With this function, you can manually adjust the depth of field during shooting or after the shot has been taken.

In addition, when editing a photo, you can change the focus points by bringing the desired object to the fore. In general, the camera in Honor 8 gives ample opportunities for creativity to its owner.

And Honor 8 boasts a beautiful glass body and a large number of colors - blue, black, white, pink and gold. The smartphone is powered by a powerful Kirin 950 processor and 4 GB random access memory. There are two options to choose from - with 32 or 64 GB of internal storage. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, and the screen is a 5.2-inch IPS matrix with Full HD resolution.

Xiaomi Mi5s Plus

Xiaomi Mi5s Plus is equipped with a dual main camera with a resolution of 13 MP + 13 MP. One module takes a color picture, and the second - monochrome. The main feature of the camera is that the two modules do not work together by default - for this you need to activate a special stereo mode by selecting the aperture icon on the display.

The camera in this mode becomes noticeably slower, but allows you to take pictures with a wider dynamic range and better detail in the dark.

The characteristics of the smartphone are - 5.7-inch Full HD-screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory and a 3800 mAh battery. As a result, we get a great flagship at an attractive price.

LG G5 SE

LG also uses two cameras in many of its smartphones, but their functionality is fundamentally different from what other manufacturers use. The main module of the G5 SE has a resolution of 16 megapixels, the second is an 8-megapixel wide-angle module with a shooting angle of 135 °.

A separate wide-angle lens, as conceived by the creators, should help photograph panoramic landscapes, tall buildings or groups of people without having to move a long distance from the subject.

Switching modes is instantaneous, for this the camera interface has two corresponding buttons. According to research by LG, users of this smartphone use wide-angle shooting in 55% of cases - this indicates that the function is in great demand.

The LG G5 SE is equipped with a 5.3-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and Always On Display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, and a 2800 mAh battery.

In addition, the smartphone is made on a unique modular system. Instead of a removable bottom panel, you can put various branded modules. For example, a handle with an additional battery and camera control buttons or a digital-to-analogue converter module for music lovers, developed jointly with the Danish company Bang & Olufsen.

Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL

Asus introduced the Zenfone 3 Zoom at CES 2017 and it is already available in Russia. The main feature of the smartphone is the dual camera module.

The main one has a wide-angle lens with a large aperture (f / 1.7) and a 12 megapixel matrix with support for ASUS SuperPixel technology. It is designed for shooting everyday scenes, including in low light.

The second camera - with the same resolution of 12 megapixels and 2.3x optical zoom - is used to capture high-quality close-up shots. That is, the 2.3x optical zoom, which allows you to use the approximation without loss of quality, has become the key “chip” of the device.

The camera is not the only advantage of the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. A 5000 mAh battery was installed in the novelty - it should be enough for a couple of days of active work.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and 4 GB of RAM are responsible for the operation of the smartphone, which is enough to run all modern games without freezing. 64 GB of memory is provided for data storage, and the screen size is 5.5 inches. And all this at a very attractive price.

ZTE Blade V8

Phab 2 Pro is the world's first smartphone to support Tango, Google's technology that brings augmented reality (AR) to games and apps. The gadget does not even have two, but three modules located on the back - the main 16-megapixel camera, a depth camera and a motion tracking camera.

Thanks to the above cameras, sensors and developed software, the phone is able to create a 3D model of the room in which it is located. That is, the device is able to track movements, explore environment and perceive the depth of space. This data is then used to superimpose the virtual image on top of the real world image displayed on the phone screen.

At the moment, this is an experimental feature, but already now it works fine and practically does not make mistakes. But there is also a problem - there is practically no software for this technology yet. You will have to be content with a few applications and a couple of games.

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro received good components. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor clocked at 1.8GHz. Also, the Chinese installed 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB internal memory(of course, it can be expanded). In addition, a 4050 mAh lithium-ion battery is located under the 6.4-inch Quad-HD display.

How can smartphone manufacturers surprise modern users? Technologies do not stand still, giving birth to new opportunities and thereby shaping fresh trends. New a feature that is gaining popularity is the dual main camera at smartphones. Back in the summer of last year, devices with such an opportunity were single, but now many well-known and Chinese companies are releasing smartphones with two cameras. Let's take a look at the best of them.

Any normal user should ask, and Why does a smartphone need two cameras?, and is this not a publicity stunt of manufacturers? The thing is that companies are gradually coming to the conclusion that the cameras in smartphones are already difficult to improve: neither increasing the size of the sensor, nor changing other parameters lead to significant progress in the quality of the resulting photos. The only way out is to increase the size of the camera, but then the phone will become much larger, so it is unlikely to find wide popularity among users.

The solution lay on the surface - equip the gadget with a second main camera. Since the technology is not yet mass-produced, manufacturers assign different functions to the additional module, but all solutions are aimed at improving photo quality. With the help of a dual camera, you can take pictures with different exposure settings and, by overlaying them, get a high-quality photo. Second chamber can be used for full optical zoom, and not digital, which is used in the vast majority of smartphones. With the optional camera, you can change the focus on finished shots, create blurred background. In some models, the second camera creates a black and white image, so the shooting process is fast and the photo quality is excellent.

Now let's see what the modern market offers us and take a look at the best dual camera smartphones of 2017.

The smartphone is equipped 20 megapixel color camera and 12 megapixel black and white camera fromLeica. The principle of their operation is as follows: the monochrome module takes a picture, while capturing as much light as possible, and thanks to the work of the color module, the resulting picture is then painted, allowing you to get a high-quality picture. The camera works clearly, autofocus works quickly, the picture is very high quality, there are ample opportunities for manual adjustment of shooting parameters. The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels.

Other characteristics of the novelty also delight. The gadget received a metal case and curved display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 2560 * 1440 made by technology AMOLED. Responsible for performance 8-core processor, whose cores operate at a frequency 2.4 and 1.8 GHz. Stock RAM 4 and 6 GB in different versions, the main one is 64 and 128 GB, respectively. The gadget received a fingerprint scanner, an infrared port, 4000 mAh battery and fast charging function. Delight, not apparatus! The price starts from $760.

LG V20

Oukitel U20 Plus

This cheapest dual camera smartphone but at the same time it is high quality and functional. It costs only $88 and proves to users around the world that a dual camera and the ability to take high-quality photos is not only an opportunity for flagships. For a ridiculous price, you can get not just a productive device, but also quite nice. In its design, you can see something in common with the latest iPhones, and metal case together with 2.5D- glass makes a lasting impression.

Most Affordable Dual Camera Smartphone received a 13 megapixel module fromSonywith interpolation up to 16 MP and an additional VGA camera. Photos get excellent detail, and it also becomes possible to take pictures with a blurry background. The front camera received a resolution of 5 megapixels, screen resolutionFull HDand a diagonal of 5.5 inches is distinguished by the presence protective glass . Uses a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB main memory. There is a fingerprint scanner, two SIM card slots, support for 4G, battery capacity 3300 mAh. This smartphone is worth taking even for those who do not put a prerequisite for the presence of a dual camera – the model is good in all respects and perfectly balanced in terms of price and quality.

Quite often it turns out that the know-how of modern phones is a well-forgotten past. This was the case with fingerprint sensors, and with the release of the iPhone 7 Plus, dual cameras may return.

Smartphone from Apple is not the first to have such a solution. The first dual camera phone came out in 2007, when the iPhone didn't even support apps or 3G. The Engadget site in its material is all devices from the past that had two cameras.

Samsung SCH-B710

The first phone had two cameras to capture 3D content. The Samsung SCH-B710 was released in April 2007 and had a pair of 1.3 megapixel sensors. Its 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels used parallax to display three-dimensional content. Plus, on the gadget, you could watch local terrestrial television.

LG Optimus 3D

The next dual camera phone came out many years later, in 2011. It was the LG Optimus 3D, which was the first Android smartphone with a 3D camera. The latter had five megapixels per lens and recorded 720p video. The Optimus 3D screen also showed stereo content on a 4.3-inch diagonal with a resolution of 480x800 pixels.

HTC EVO 3D

The EVO 3D gadget from 2011 was actually an improved version of the LG Optimus 3D. It had a 4.3-inch screen with 960x540 pixels, a powerful Snapdragon chipset. But the cameras were the same, along with 3D video recording in 720p.

Sharp Aquos Phone SH-12C/SH-80F

The same 2011 saw the release of Sharp Aquos Phone SH-12C (international marking SH-80F). It was an Android smartphone with 8 megapixel cameras. The display of the device had 4.2 inches with a resolution of 540x960 pixels.

HTC One M8

The next device was released in 2014 - it was the HTC One M8, which received a new type of dual cameras with the marketing name Duo Camera. The main sensor had a 4-megapixel HTC UltraPixel matrix, and it was assisted by a 2-megapixel sensor, thanks to which the autofocus of the device worked faster. In addition, the M8 offered a set of post-shoot effects based on two cameras.

Huawei Honor 6 Plus

At the end of 2014, a dual camera phone was released by Huawei. The Honor 6 Plus gadget had two 8-megapixel sensors, which, according to Huawei, together produced 13-megapixel images. In Honor 6 Plus, in addition to improving the quality of images, the two cameras also made it possible to speed up autofocus and get additional image processing effects.

HTC One M9+

In 2015, HTC released the M9+. In it, the dual camera Duo Camera no longer had an UltraPixel sensor, but used a 20-megapixel matrix from Toshiba. A little later, in the M9 + Supreme Camera Edition, the sensor was replaced with a 21-megapixel Sony sensor.

LG V10

At the end of 2015, LG released the flagship V10. He took a new approach: the cameras had different lenses. One was a standard 80 degree lens and the other was a 120 degree wide angle lens.

CAT S60

Released in February 2016, the CAT S60 gadget has two cameras and perfectly photographs both during the day and in complete darkness. This is because one of his cameras is a thermal imager. He does not need ordinary light—he "sees" the warmth of objects. True, you had to pay for this - the phone costs $ 599.

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is not yet on sale. But it should be the first smartphone to have Google Tango 3D vision technology. It allows you to scan objects and get their virtual models, and also expands the possibilities of augmented reality.

Today, many smartphones are equipped with a dual photomodule. This allows you to get spectacular background blur when shooting macro and portraits, sharper shots, lossless zoom or wide-angle photos.

In this article, we have collected the best models based on expert opinions (DxOmark, CNet, Techradar) and consumer reviews.

Perhaps, best phone which you can buy today. This also applies to him. A dual module of 12 megapixels with optical stabilization was used. One lens is wide-angle with f/1.8 aperture, the second is f/2.4 telephoto lens (this allows you to realize high-quality 2x zoom). The pictures are clear, juicy, macro like from DSLR-devices. The 7-megapixel front camera is also good.

We note decent autonomy, a productive chipset, a Face ID face recognition system, protection against water and dust according to the IP67 standard. There are also shortcomings: there is no fingerprint scanner (but this is a matter of habit), a slot for memory cards and a very, very high price.

Characteristics

• Display: 5.8 inches (2436 × 1125 pixels).
• Processor: Apple A11 Bionic.
• Memory: 3 GB RAM, from 64 GB ROM.
• Cameras: main - 12 + 12 Mp, front - 7 Mp.
• OS: iOS 11.
• Price: from 66,000 rubles.

Probably the second best phone you can buy today. Unlike the previous generation, the S9 Plus model received a dual 12-megapixel camera module (the regular S9 has a single one). And - after all, you need to somehow persuade people to upgrade from S8 - Samsung swears that they have reinvented the camera. And this is not a marketing ploy. World's first camera with variable aperture (from f/2.4 to f/1.5). This brings the S9 Plus as close to DSLR as possible and allows the device to adapt to different shooting conditions. For example, when shooting landscapes, the light is very natural, and in the dark, the pictures come out super clear and bright (as far as possible).

The modules also have optical stabilization, options for super slow motion and noise removal (when 12 shots are taken at the same time and one almost perfect is created), a double zoom is available without loss of quality. The front camera (8 MP, f/1.7) blurs the background well and takes great shots.

Among other features: a powerful hardware platform, a retinal scanner, IP68 moisture protection, a slot for memory cards up to 400 GB, stereo speakers. In the reviews, someone complains about the active post-processing of images, someone about the low battery capacity, but this is not very critical.

Characteristics

• Display: 6.2 inches (2960 × 1440 pixels).
• Processor: Exynos 9810.
• Memory: 6 GB RAM, from 64 GB ROM + microSD slot.
• Cameras: main - 12 + 12 Mp, front - 8 Mp.
• Battery: 3500 mAh
• OS: Android 8.0.
• Price: from 67,000 rubles.

The DxOMark website claims that this is the best camera phone on the market today. There are already three “eyes” on the rear panel of the device: a dual module (main sensor size 1/1.7″, f/1.8 aperture, resolution 40 MP + monochrome 20-megapixel sensor with a 1/2.7″ matrix and f/1.6 aperture) + 8MP telephoto lens with 80mm focal length and f/2.4 aperture. The smartphone boasts 3x optical and 5x hybrid zoom, the ability to shoot at high ISO 102400 and Super Slow-Mo, an intelligent optical stabilization system and advanced autofocus, and an equally advanced 24-megapixel front camera.

Before us is a model with outstanding cameras. Everyone notes high-quality and extremely clear pictures under any lighting conditions, in black and white mode. Among other things, P20 Pro is a flagship with top-end “stuffing”. Please note that there is no slot for memory cards, but 128 GB in the base modification compensates for this.

Characteristics

• Display: 6.1 inches (2240 ​​× 1080 pixels).
• Memory: 6 GB RAM, 128 GB ROM.
• Cameras: main - 40 + 20 + 8 MP, front - 24 MP.
• Battery: 4000 mAh
• OS: Android 8.1.
• Price: from 55,000 rubles.

Not such a "cunning" option, but more affordable. The dual camera under the Leica brand is distinguished by two modules (12 + 20 MP, one monochrome, f / 1.6 aperture) with optical stabilization and a double hybrid zoom. The pictures are good both from the main camera and from the front one at 8 megapixels (but there is a minus - it has a fixed focus). Huawei relies on artificial intelligence technologies - object recognition.

And otherwise, a good device for your money: a top-end chipset, IP67 moisture protection, a capacious, attractive glass case (but quite easily soiled). There is no slot for memory cards.

Characteristics

• Display: 6 inches (2160 × 1080 pixels).
• Processor: HiSilicon Kirin 970.
• Memory: from 4 GB RAM, 64 GB ROM.
• Cameras: main - 12 + 20 MP, front - 8 MP.
• Battery: 4000 mAh
• OS: Android 8.0.
• Price: from 40,000 rubles.

Honor is the "daughter" of Huawei, as you probably know. At the same time, both brands now produce strong models at good prices and compete with each other with might and main. The new Honor 10 can be called a budget flagship. It is distinguished by an affordable price, an iridescent glass case, a fashionable design with a notch, a dual camera module (24 + 16 MP, one monochrome sensor, there are AI functions) and, if not a top-end, but productive hardware stuffing. There is no slot for memory cards. The pictures are very good, but in low light conditions the quality is reduced.

Characteristics

• Display: 5.84 inches (2280 × 1080 pixels).
• Processor: HiSilicon Kirin 970.
• Memory: 4 GB RAM, from 64 GB ROM.
• Cameras: main - 24 + 16 MP, front - 24 MP.
• Battery: 3400 mAh.
• OS: Android 8.1.
• Price: from 27,000 rubles.

The latest flagship from the Chinese. Of course, with top hardware and double cam. Modules with f / 1.8 and f / 2.4 apertures are used, a two-fold zoom is available without loss of quality, optical stabilization. Again, artificial intelligence technologies are offered to determine the content and select the best settings. The device just went on sale, but judging by the first reviews and test results of the same DxOMark, the camera turned out to be successful. The front-facing 20-megapixel module with f / 2.0 aperture is also excellent and uses different “beautification” modes.

The smartphone is beautiful (although it obviously copies the iPhone X), only the relatively low battery capacity is frustrating. The device has not "arrived" in Russia yet, but it can be purchased on AliExpress.

Characteristics

• Display: 6.21 inches (2280 × 1080 pixels).
• Memory: 6 GB RAM, from 64 GB ROM.
• Cameras: main - 12 + 12 Mp, front - 20 Mp.
• Battery: 3300 mAh
• OS: Android 8.1.
• Price: from 35,000 rubles.

Another advanced Chinese flagship, which has become a bright novelty of the last month. The case is made of metal and glass, the screen with a “bangs” and minimal frames. Not replica iPhone, yet beautiful. Iron is traditionally for OnePlus "at the forefront of attack." They also tried to make the camera stand out. Two modules from Sony are used: a 16-megapixel IMX 519 with optical stabilization and f / 1.7 aperture, and a 20-megapixel IMX 376K. To demonstrate the shooting capabilities of the OnePlus 6, a model was even captured on the cover of Indian Vogue. The manufacturer offers an improved HDR mode and automatic selection of shooting parameters depending on the scene.

Everything is good, but I would like the battery to be more capacious. And keep in mind: there is no memory card slot, like the Mi8. Looks like he's starting to fade away?

Characteristics

• Display: 6.28 inches (2280 × 1080 pixels).
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
• Memory: from 6 GB of RAM, from 64 GB of ROM.

DxOmark believes that this smartphone ranks second in terms of its photo capabilities. - the first flagship of the company after a long break, which has a dual camera (recall that the brand was once a pioneer in the market, introducing a model with a dual camera and a 3D screen). It uses a 12-megapixel wide-angle module (f / 1.75, optical stabilization) and a 16-megapixel telephoto camera with a 54mm f / 2.6 lens. This bundle allows you to do a double zoom without loss of quality. We also note the brand's traditional UltraPixel 4 technology (larger pixels receive more light).

The smartphone has manual mode Pro shooting and RAW support. The Ultraspeed Autofocus 2 system (a combination of phase and laser autofocus) ensures sharp focusing. Video recording is supported in 4K at 60 fps. The pictures are beautiful good effect bokeh. This also applies to the front module: it is also double.

Otherwise, we have a top-end novelty based on Qualcomm 845 with IP68 water protection and the Edge Sense option (you can squeeze the edges of the smartphone to activate some functions). And the U12+ has a translucent body. That's just the gadget is too expensive for a model from a company that can hardly keep afloat.

Characteristics

• Display: 6 inches (2880 × 1440 pixels).
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
• Memory: 6 GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, microSD card slot.
• Cameras: main - 12 + 16 MP, front - 8 + 8 MP.
• Battery: 3500 mAh.
• OS: Android 8.0.
• Price: from 59,000 rubles.

It would be trite to say that the smartphone market is growing very fast. Changes, of course, are not always visible at a glance, and those who are not in the know can quickly get lost among the many models. In this review, we will limit our area of ​​interest to only one element - the camera, or rather two. This is a modern trend and every manufacturer tries to produce models with two lenses on the back side. By using them, your phone can take 3D photos, apply the Bokeh effect, get improved detail, shoot in low light, and much more. In the presented ranking of the best dual camera smartphones in 2019, you can see that they can be both expensive and budget.
