    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

      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).

        Oh no, I think I might’ve missed my chance, then.

        But seriously, I have abslutely no use for a “selfie camera” & feel uncomfortable with the whole concept of having a camera constantly facing you. At least with laptops it’s easier to put something in front. Even with a back-facing camera, its use is very limited & would prefer to be without one, let alone a handful.
