If you’ve ever purchased a cheap smartphone, odds are you’ve noticed that the price doesn’t affect how many camera lenses it comes with. You’ll get the usual pair of wide and ultrawide angle lenses, as you would on any smartphone, alongside a third or fourth “bonus” camera.
Often these extra cameras are macro or depth lenses, though we occasionally see something more unique like the OnePlus 8 Pro’s “color depth” sensor. Typically these extra lenses are pretty low resolution, and offer features that most people wouldn’t even think about needing when they’re buying a new phone. Instead it’s like they’ve been added to increase the number of cameras and appeal to the folks who mistakenly believe that “more if better."
