I have tested a lot of phones over the course of my career, and one of the things I hate the most is when phone makers add frivolous camera lenses so they can pad the numbers. The Samsung Galaxy A57 is one such phone, sporting a 50MP main camera lens, a 12MP ultrawide-angle shooter, and a significantly less impressive 5MP macro lens.
What makes this particularly irritating (for me, at least) is the fact that you don't need a dedicated macro lens to shoot macro photos. Plenty of phones feature macro modes that use either the ultrawide or telephoto camera lenses, including some from Samsung — the most recent of which is the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
