Which is a better dual camera setup?
As there are setups on a smartphone with dual cameras, some also doesn’t know what they are for. So, we ManilaShaker would be glad to aid people to know what will be the best among the three. Is it telephoto lens, wide angle or monochromatic lens? Let’s find out.

Is Telephoto lens perfect for portrait images and bokeh effect?
First off is the telephoto portrait lens. The lens is known for taking far images and magnifying it. In short, giving a depth of effect on the image and it could also enhance its artistic effect. While the Wide angle allows broader images taken from far away, the telephoto lens could zoom and focus on the far scenery.
Bokeh effect is known for blurring the background to give the focus on the single subject in the frame is also possible through a telephoto lens. Smartphones like iPhones have this kind of setup. Check out the images from Apple’s iPhone 8 Plus below.
When is the perfect time to use Wide angle lens?
Wide Angle lens mode is unsurprisingly used by people who want to widen their FOV or field of view. Taking groufie makes some smartphones in a disadvantage since their FOV is only with a low angle. So, some people might not get the shot. But with wide angle, more people can join and widen the subject perspective.
Aside from that, people taking photos from normal camera usually take a step backward to take a whole photo. But that is not needed anymore thanks to Wide angle lens as well. When traveling or taking photos, the Wide angle lens is the best for use cause you can take a wider view of the scenery as well.
Check out the difference between the Wide angle and the not wide-angle shots below via the LG G5. Smartphones like those of the ASUS’ Zenfone 4 series and Samsung also has wide angle lens.
Is Monochromatic lens the right one for low light, and black and white images?
While the Portrait mode focuses on artistic effects and the wide angle on a wider perspective, Monochrome lens aims at capturing maximum detail in an image. Even in B and W mode, the monochromatic lens provides less noise and the right color hues. That said, monochrome sensors differ from normal color sensors since it absorbs 3x more light.
Not only that but having monochrome sensors in a smartphone allows more clarity and sharpness in an image. Bokeh effect at the same time using monochrome lens shows an image with more detail amid being subjected to magnification as well.
Be it colored, or black and white, choosing smartphones with the monochromatic lens will be the best for or high-resolution image results. Smartphones like the Honor 8 Pro, Honor 9 utilizes a monochrome lens as its secondary lens. Check out the samples above via Huawei Mate 9.
