Today’s best camera phones are extremely versatile thanks to the range they cover. Phones accompanied by triple cameras are often admired for this exact reason, as they can capture everything from very close subjects to faraway stuff in the distance. While the vast majority of work is done by the phone’s main camera, the ultrawide lens is often left underused. In fact, we’d argue that it’s used less than the telephoto camera (on phones that offer a dedicated telephoto camera, at least).
There are definite challenges when it comes to using the ultrawide camera, such as the visible distortion around the edges of your shot. But with some careful attention, you can actually take better ultrawide shots with your phone. Like really — you can take a boring landscape photo and make it look much more epic with an ultrawide camera.
