Читать книгу Android Smartphone Photography For Dummies - Mark Hemmings - Страница 16

Four lens Android smartphones are very popular, and there are so many great options to choose from. As of the writing of this book, the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G is probably the most highly regarded Android device for photographers, but of course that will change as new devices come on the market. Figure 1-4 shows the S21 Ultra’s four lenses, which range from ultra-wide, wide, telephoto, and super telephoto views. Don’t be fooled by what appears to be a fifth lens on this Samsung, which is actually a laser autofocus sensor. Many of Samsung’s competitors have similar lens combinations and focal lengths. There are also five lens Android smartphones available, such as the Nokia 9 PureView and no doubt many more in the future.

It may be a bit hard to visualize what all the lens descriptions really mean without a visual example. Figure 1-5 shows the view from each of the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G’s four lenses.
