Dual-lens Android devices are getting harder to find these days. The most popular options are single-lens and triple-lens combinations. Figure 1-2 shows an example of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S with its two lenses. This device, plus many other dual-lens devices have a wide-angle view from one lens, and what is often called by the manufacturers a telephoto view from the second lens. Telephoto usually refers to a view that appears more zoomed-in than what the human eye sees.

If you have a DSLR camera or are familiar with traditional film photography, the use of the word telephoto by the manufacturers of dual-lens smartphones is sometimes a bit of a stretch. Often what they call the telephoto lens is actually what photographers call a normal field of view, which would be similar to a 50mm prime (non-zooming) lens in traditional photography terms. If you don’t know what any of that means, no problem! All you need to know is that the wide-angle lens is great for architecture and landscape photography, and the second telephoto lens is better for portraits and general smartphone photography.
