    camera phones

    Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it’s on the phone’s backside.

      100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don’t care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance / screen quality

        Actually even for qr codes the pixel count (or rather camera quality) makes a huge difference. Got a new phone last year with much better camera then previous. Suddenly during presentations i didn’t need to awkwardly semi stand up and try to get closer. Just recognized the code immediately

      Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.

      Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.

      Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.

      And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).

        But many people don’t use any of those features. I get that many do, but every single smartphone with features I require has them.
