Dual camera smartphones are quite common nowadays. You can get one easily in the range of 10,000+ category. Most of the Chinese brands which includes Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo have some sort of offering in their portfolios for dual camera smartphones. Huawei with its P20 pro currently holds the title for the world’s best smartphone camera. It features world’s first triple camera setup. We have also recently published an article stating that Sony is working on world’s first Penta Camera smartphone. If it’s true then that thing would be a real beast in the photography category.
