Modern smartphones have great camera systems. Usually, the more cameras, the better. But here’s a controversial thought—do we really need an ultrawide camera on a smartphone?
This outrageous idea came to me a couple of days ago while I was browsing through my Google Photos account searching for something. I realized there were almost no ultrawide shots there. Might be just me, but let’s try to dive deeper into this.
How wide are smartphone ultrawide cameras?
Most modern smartphones use the wide-ultrawide camera duo, and if you’re lucky or we’re talking about a camera phone or a flagship, there’s a telephoto camera added to the party. It’s quite interesting that main smartphone cameras are, in fact, quite wide-angle in comparison to regular dedicated digital cameras.
