Recently, more and more smartphones are launched with dual cameras, either main or front ones. But have you know about the advantages and disadvantages of having a doubled camera? Here are 5 advantages and disadvantages

1. Selection on your picture focus (+)

The first advantage we can list out for having a dual camera on your smartphone is that, you will have better focus for your pictures. While the first camera do its normal job, the second shooter takes a second layer of the pictures, aka an extra focus for your shot. As a result, you can make a selection on your picture, of either to focus on the background, or the front object. This is quite and interesting feature for those who love photography and experimenting with your device.

2. Better depth perception (+)

Another benefit you can enjoy when buying a smartphone with dual camera is that, it increases the depth perception of your pictures. This mean, the taken shots will appear deeper, more like with 3D effect with a wider and longer angle. One thing many users have with a normal smartphone camera is that, the shots are somehow blurry and plain, which will be sold by adding an extra camera, either on the back or the front of your mobile.

3. Better image quality under low light (+)

Low light conditions and how the image quality turns out to be is one of the most important factors can be used to judge whether a smartphone camera is better than other. And if your phone has dual camera, you have an extra “eye” to catch light, especially under dark conditions. This benefit sounds kind of tempting to many users, especially when they love to take photos anywhere they go, to keep their memories alive.

4. Taking up a lot of space (-)

When the size of your smartphone remains the same, and you want to have a space for an extra camera, you either have sacrifice other parts, or have a thicker device in general, which both turn out as a disadvantage for having a dual camera. Many people argue that, instead of installing a second shooter,  the same space could be used to have a better hardware or bigger battery, which is more practical and necessary for them.

5. High expense (-)

It’s very simple. In order to have an extra lens, you have to pay some extra money. And when it comes to camera, we all know it won’t be a small amount. If a smartphone has dual cameras, but both of the lens are of crappy quality, then it would even be worse than buying a singular camera with decent resolution. And if a smartphone offer both high-class camera, the cost gonna increase considerably. Interesting as it may sound, pricing is still one of the strongest factors that affect the customers’ decision of whether to buy a device or not.
