While smartphones with dual rear and dual front cameras first appeared on the low end of the market, this trend expands to mid-range models now. Mediatek reports that Alcatel Flash smartphone features 4 cameras. The rears are dual 13 MP (RGB+mono), f/2.0 with PDAF, while on the front one is an 8MP + 5MP with also f/2.0 lens and PDAF:
Gionee S10 too features double-dual-camera. GizmoChina and Forbes report that the rear camera has 16MP+8MP sensors and f/1.8 6P lens, while the front camera has 20MP+8MP sensors:
Dual Cameras are just marketing hype right now. While, if implemented well, they have interestin zoom (like the 5x zoom concept). But the 2x is just bad tech and implementation.
