I think it's good that phone manufacturers are creating and innovating their newly released phones. It would be boring otherwise if all they are bumping every year are the processor speeds, memory, and screen quality.

More and more phone companies are focusing on cameras right now and I think all photographers should be excited.

I hope in the near future, we could have smartphones that have the capabilities to go toe to toe with DSLR cameras so it would be very portable to bring during travels. Your view on cell phone with 4 cameras

I really think that the future is near when DSLR capabilities are comparable with smartphones. I know an app that makes your phone a DSLR when it comes to capabilities. Although you will need a high specification phone to use this, it is a sign that phones are on their way to DSLR level.

Cool! May I know what app that is? What are the recommended phone or camera specs for it? Is it available for both Android and iOS phones? Thanks!

There are lots of them actually @EfficientNinja , and some apps are available on both Android and IOS. Here are some links:

"I know an app that makes your phone a DSLR when itcomes to capabilities."

I'm such a purist when it comes to photography that even I find myself annoying sometimes, but in my opinion, no application or smart phone is ever going to go toe-to-toe with a good DSLR camera.

In terms megapixels, many smart phones are definitely up there. However, the thing is that it isn't just about the megapixels. The most important factor which is always going to separate DSLR cameras from smart phones are the lenses. There is a reason why any above average lens costs as much as an iPhone X, and professional lenses will cost a couple of iPhones and an arm and leg.

Until they come up with a system that lets you mount lenses onto your smart phone (which I don't doubt will be possible some day) DSLRs will always be top rank to both professionals and enthusiasts.

That being said, the general population might not really be able to tell the difference.

Photos taken by someone who has even the basic grasp of using focus and alignment won't show up any different on a tiny screen, compressed by Instagram, so in that sense you simply cannot see any difference in regards to the equipment, but when it comes to print media or other needs where you really need to blow up the image then usage of a smartphone can clearly be seen - in a negative way.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

DenisP
Sorry but I have to respectfully disagree. You absolutely can tell a difference even in compressed images, especially under specific circumstances. Yes, there are certain situations where you aren't going to be able to tell the difference between a smart phone and DSLR image, but there are many deciding factors besides just resolution and composition.

There are situations where a DSLR will always outshine a smart phone. One these situations is lowlight photography. DSLRs have a higher dynamic range and lower noise in lowlight situations. Then there is the matter of perspective. DSLR cameras are unmatched when it comes to wide-angle and telephoto photography.

One day if I decide to get a better phone, I'd love to demonstrate this by showing how some images taken with DSLRs simply aren't replicable using a smart phone.

I think you would be surprised if you see some of the reviews about these new 4 camera smartphones. I was amazed about it. It is literally competing with dslrs and in a sense exceeding it. back then crisp movement photos cannot be easily achieved through smart phones but with the 4 camera one it is possible, so jump shots using phones is really easy with this kind of technology. Higher pixels much better resolution and a lot more features. The down side? THE PRICE. OMG!

The only benefits I would see in building a phone device to to have 4 or more camera would be if such devices are used for spy work rather than just for photography jobs.

It would only serve spy operatives to capture images on the job without getting noticed that the spy is taking pictures which would blow the agent's cover.

In other words they would be useful for specific purposes and not for photographers in general. Common sense tells us that we do not need 4 cameras and no matter what they may come up with I am not sure they can compete with real cameras.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

kammy143
I'd like to differ. The 4 camera phone really does give out excellent quality when it comes to pictures. That is according to what I saw in different reviews. It has out outstanding feed backs from tech reviewers. As they say, it has features that may exceed dslrs. Come on, who doesn't want crisp photos, with good motion capture, beautiful resolutions and others. Too bad most of us couldn't afford it. LOL

I think it can be use for a wider range and for panoramic views. I agree definitely it can be use not only for photography. Also with four synchronous camera, you have enough power for slow motion and video rendering controls just like in movies.

Agree, first thing that came to my mind was the amazing panoramic views I could get with one of those. Then, really strikes again, and I realized it can be used for not so good purposes too. The spy issue, would be more than sure with 4 cameras, so paparazzis, and thieves/cheaters, will go crazy with a cellphone like that. Maybe they should be sell to not just everybody.

I think the phone company is almost there, 20+ megapixels in camera phone is enough to see the images clearly, and just a little edit to the pictures and it's looks like its coming from the DSLR camera. But I wonder, Why four camera's? two camera's is enough right? I wonder if I'm able to use the four camera's at the same time. Your view on cell phone with 4 cameras

I think the cellphone that has only two cameras are good. Unless you are really photographer. I believe a photographer will like the 4 cameras. For ordinary persons I believe the two is just enough.

I do think that if phones could be as good as DSLR, then almost everyone would be an instant enthusiasts of photography. I would enjoy such device. But as for now they are looking into adding lenses. If I am not mistaken they are trying to address the need for wider and clearer photos without adding too much pixels. I haven't have the chance to use one so I couldn't personally tell the difference.

Just two cameras are enough for me. I'm not a selfie addict and not really using my phone camera to take some pictures, I'm just using my camera for occasionally use. I wonder why the phone company still developing the camera phone instead of the battery. I think they should need to fix it first.

I'm not a fan of cameras as well on the mobile device back in those days till I fell in love with the world of photography. This has made me taken special interest in every thing that has got to do with the phone cameras and the thing is that I enjoy the ones that have bright cameras as well.

Yeah, you're right, somehow I love to use the IOS camera and aside from that it's easy to edit because there're a lot of filters or options just to make your images looks great, But I think having four cameras in one phone is too much. Two camera's is enough I think. What is the purpose or the rest? Well, I think much better to see the reviews.

I see a lot of benefits of having a good camera on your phone. If your phone cameras have good lens, you can take pictures and record your every day events. The cell phone cameras are the best tools to record your life.Not everyone can afford a professional camera, therefore cell phone camera can always come handy. cellphone photography is not just about taking selfies and posting on Instagram, it is more than that. I think two cameras, one on the front and another on the back, on a phone are good, however, anything more than this is just embellishments.

I agree that they need to step up the battery game. They keep bumping other areas of the smartphones but all we need are larger batteries. We couldn't enjoy our phones even if they have so many new features if they keep the battery capacities the same as last year. Your view on cell phone with 4 cameras

You're right. the first five or six months of your new phone, everything is fine, specially the battery. but after that, you will notice that your battery is getting weak. specially if you allowed to open the data connection during whole day. Specially in the android phone, a lot of software running without your permission.

I think your pertaining to a holographic phone, i have read about this and its quite interesting. I also saw a video about RED Hydrogen One phone which is equipped with a 3D holographic imagery on the back camera. In my opinion this is a great innovation, although i haven't seen one yet.

Holographic features in phones are really interesting, I wonder how much this kind of phone right now. The innovation of technology is pretty amazing right now, and I think they should really need to develop the battery for this kind of features, I think it will consume more battery percentage for that 3D holographic imagery.

I think it's not worth to by this phone. I think they need to release two or three more version to consider if this worth to buy. Well, with that price and first time to release this kind of features in phone, I'm sure there're a lot of negative things will occurs, however, I'm also excited about this feature.

Yes I really think so that this would really excite me more to have such kind of mobile phone because of its additional features which has a 4 cameras which is really amazing for tech people just like me. I can used it for different purposes which makes me to be more productive and creative because of the gadget that I am using.

I agree multi function devices are so in demand because of their features. People tend to have more with less and these devices are the best choice. Phones are the most versatile device i know today and their capabilities range from 1-50 different devices just in one pocket size phone. Imagine if you have to carry these 50 devices, it would be a mess.

I'm literally jumping up here to see a news like this. This has got to show that the phone makers are doing all they could to ensure that we have the best mobile experience and the good thing is that I can get to take pictures of things and places that I visit getting the best view from doing so. It is going to be a good experience for me as I test it out when I have the resources to make a selection when it is out.

I wonder what the actual benefits of having four cameras on a phone is because to me, just having the usual two cameras is good enough. I presume that it's not like where you could choose out of four cameras, but just three cameras on the back that help you to take a better picture with better lighting etc. when taking a normal picture. And then I'm guessing that the remaining camera is on the front for selfies.

It's gonna be a literal 360 shot, if the four camera's are able to use at the same time. Your view on cell phone with 4 cameras Actually I don't even know also the purpose of that, I think you're right, two camera's are enough, and additional two is gonna be useless.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

I don't think it would be like that, because for a "literal 360 shot", you would need one of those massive circle things. I don't think four camera's would be able to get a 360 shot because the cameras would only be on the back and the front, and not on the sides. It would be pretty weird and ugly looking if the cameras were on the side lol

With wide enough field of view you would actually be able to have 360 videos with just four lenses, like this: https://www.bublcam.com/products/bublcam

But yeah, not going to happen with a cell phone, and there's really no reason to have such functionality anyway.

Hmm, looks interesting although yeah, I just can't see that ever being added to a phone because the phone would have to be a pretty weird phone shape. And like you said, there would be no need for such a feature because most people wouldn't really need it at all. It just is one of those novelty features that you try out and never use again really.

As much as this seems interesting, I think it wouldn't make any sense to have 4 camera installed on one phone device. 2 camera, one in the rear and front side of the phone is more than enough in my opinion, having 4 camera opening seems absurd.

There are far more better specs that phone companies can upgrade in their products which would have more value than camera numbers in the device. Battery, RAM and storage seems to be of more importance than have 4 camera built into one phone.

If the lens used on the cell phone are of same qualities and features, then I do not think thr4 cameras cell phones are good, they are just a show-off. However, if the lens on the cell phone camera has different capabilities and features, similar to the lens for your DSLR, then I think 4 camera cell phones are good. This kind of cellphone will bring a photographer even in layman. The most important thing to consider is the quality of the lens.

Wait, what?! I'm not all that up to date with smart phones as I don't much care for them, so I wasn't familiar with the fact that cell phones have four cameras now. Seriously? Could someone explain to me why in the world a phone would need four cameras? I understand that there is the back camera for standard shooting, and a front facing camera for self portraits and video calls, but I can't fathom where the other two would go and why. Oh well, that's cell phone companies for you, I guess. Always innovating.

Well, Quad Cam phones gives you the best photos it works like a Quadcore or Octacore processor it uses both cameras to take a perfect shot it's like having integrated 2 back and 2 front cams. I got a cheap one but it's super okay. You can check its features out just go to the Cloudfone site and search for Cloudfone Next Infinity Quattro. I've been using Cloudfone for years and to me it's the best reasonably priced smartphone in the market today.

This is the exact question I have. I did some research after reading the original post, and can't find any information regarding a cell phone that has 4 cameras. The only reason I can fathom for having that many cameras on a phone is if each camera has a wide enough field of view that the user can make 360 degree video by recording with each cameras at the same time. I'm wondering where the original poster got this information, and I've already asked them to share their source since it's a curious topic.

Sounds like they still have a lot of kinks to work out in the whole "4 lenses" idea for these phones, since the technology hasn't been implemented into more well known brands yet. It'll be interesting to see if this idea can be developed into something that can actually sustain mainstream popularity.

I don't really see much point in such. The phone cameras are already very good, but obviously they simply can't compete with actual professional level cameras when it comes to anything apart from sharing snapshots online to your friends. The small size of the lens can't simply compete, but that's OK because they're two entirely different devices anyways.

Exactly. I read an article after doing a little more research on these phones, and I couldn't find anything that compared the quality of their photos with those from brands like Samsung and Apple. The iPhone 8 Plus has a phenomenal camera with some really neat editing features that I doubt these offbrand phones offer, which probably plays against them as well.

Since this kind of technology is new to my ear, I decided to check it out in Youtube. With your question "Do you really think this would enhance the excitement of a photographer?", my answer is it depends. For me, I would say that I got excited because I can see a lot of features that the gadget could offer and for me that is a very big plus. I don't know about the others, see there are people who would like to stick to the norm. Liking the old techniques and the classic take in photography. There are also others, like myself, that would like to check out what new technology could offer in photography today. So, that is my answer, every single one of us has their own preference and we tend to go about this in our own unique ways and reactions.

In my view there is actually no need for 4 cameras. Why would you want 4 cameras on your mobile device. Yeah sure it may enhance photo quality but not by much. Like someone said, more for use as a spy device.

Amount of cameras doesn't increase image quality, better optics do. I also don't see how any "spy" would be using a consumer level gadgets like that, because for those needs they're way too limited and no amount of camera lenses will change that at all.

Personally, I'm fine with just the usual 2 cameras on phones nowadays. Even just 1 good camera on a phone is enough for me, as I mostly use the front-facing camera just as a mirror, anyway. 1 good quality camera is better than 4 (assuming they have slightly less picture quality than the others).

I just want it to give it a try so that I can really differentiate the new innovation compare to the usual mobile phone with just one or two cameras. Maybe after all experiencing how it works and what are the new features in it then that will be the time that I will feel satisfied or dissatisfied on that new mobile innovation.

Do you mind sharing a link or more information about what a "phone with 4 cameras" is? I did some searching, and couldn't find any articles or companies that were providing a "phone with 4 cameras". I'm not even sure what the purpose of having 4 different cameras on a phone would be? Except unless they were wide angle cameras that allowed for users to make 360 videos effortlessly, but that seems really unreasonable for a phone company to do that.

Do you maybe mean phones that are focusing on 4K footage?

I really think that Smartphones will rival DSLR cameras in a few years time and normal cameras would be obsolete within a decade from now. Right now some new Quad cam phone models can actually rival a normal dlsr camera, what more in a few years. Smartphones would eventually become an all for one tool making laptops, pc's, cameras obsolete. Well it made fax machines and calculator obsolete years ago.

I don't think it will if the capacity of four cameras is just the same as their old model and what makes it different is only the numbers of built in cameras. If they really want to make a change from using a camera phones they should upgrade the quality of built in cameras not to add more of it because its useless if the quality is just the same as the others. I think they should work on upgrading the quality and adding more options so that each videos and photos will have good quality.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

Yes I agree on you my friend it is better if other companies will just upgrade the quality of the cameras instead of adding them because we all know that two cameras are already enough for people who are just want simple things to do. Maybe tech companies should take a look on this so that better camera images will be projected by most of the mobile phones.

Thanks man, what's the point of having 4 cameras if the quality is still the same? Maybe it can enlarge the view or improve the range but when it comes to quality its still the same. So if they spend money on adding cameras why not on upgrading it? Its just the same but upgrading it will help them also save materials or space on mobile phones because there is only a small changes on the structure of the phone because they are only doing upgrades and not to reconstruct or change the structure of the phone to add cameras. So it can reduce their expenses. People enjoy the quality and the company save some money as well.

I think eventually cameras would become obsolete and would just be a tool within a smart phone. With the recent developments in smartphone cameras, smartphone now has models which has better resolution than normal mid level digital cameras and still smartphone cameras are becoming better. So it's safe to say that in a couple of years bulky cameras would be obsolete.

Sometimes I think you can have too much of a good thing. 4 cameras inbuilt into a phone seems a bit excessive to me - I’m using it predominantly as a method of communication, so I don’t think I’d need that many cameras. Also, it’s tough for me to take on board what price these things would probably retail at!

It'll be a good news for selfie addicts and aspiring photographers actually. Most specially if each of the camera vary according to it's ability and quality. If not, then what's the use of having 4 cameras with the same qualities?
I agree with the comments above, it will be better if they will just improve the qualities of the smart phone cameras.

We all knew that most of us became interested when they launched a phone with four cameras, especially for those people who loves photography. It was great that we're having more options that we can use to produce a good photos. It's actually helping us to improve our talent by bringing good effects for every picture we take. But sometimes, because of the extra features that the developers produce to their products, they frequently forget to improve the quality of the product, like camera resolution, battery life and etc. They are ended on focusing on things that may bring down their products quality.

We buy mobile phones because not only in the other features of it but because of its camera. We are making sure that its camera has a high standard quality. I like 4 cameras in the smart phones today. Why? because the more cameras in there the more things you can do with it.

Yes it does. Huawei already released a four cameras. This is like dslr with high capability if taking pictures in very good qualities. Camera is the main reason why we are buying mobile phones. We are checking the high standard of it and see what the four cameras can offer to us.

I have not tried it yet. I just bought Samsung J7. Samsung j7 has a good camera too. But I will definitely try Huawei latest model. I heard many good reviews and feedback about it.

I am conteted in a mobile phones that have three cameras because having four is too much in my own opinion. For me, instead of adding up cameras, why not improving the lens further fo a higher resolution because it will stands the same, if a cellphone has a good camera even you zoom it upon taking a picture it will remain in a high quality resolution. Adding up isn't as good at improving cameras.

You have a point there. 3 cameras is enough too because the more camera that mobile phone has the more it looks weird its physical appearance.

My take is they should be fitting their phones with both image and powerful editing software. We do not need to download them.

What excitement is a four csmera phone? Does it take four dimensional images?

For me, more than three cameras on a smartphone is overkill. (Including the front camera of course) I just don't see the practical application of the fourth camera. These smartphones exist right now mind you. The Huawei P20 is one of these smartphones. I understand that smartphone manufacturers have come to a halt when it comes to smartphone innovations and they'd like to come up with another gimmick each year to entice customers but this is just going overboard.

I don't understand why these smartphones companies nowadays seem to compete on the number of cameras present on their phones. I understand the move for two cameras even though the Google Pixel 2XL can still most dual cameras on that time. Adding a third one I think is just a marketing gimmick. With the use of new and advance electronic editing for creating a great quality photo is just enough. If people would just use their phones to take pictures then why don't just buy DSLR cameras instead?

It's the convenience. It's not everyday that you'll carry your DSLR around. Actually it's sometimes a bother to travel with. You can't store it in your bag carelessly as it's a delicate piece of equipment. Most restaurants, museums and hotels don't allow you entering with the camera out. There's that.

Camera on cellphone is very commendable, they give joy to people, easy to carry everywhere. You can capture memories while has its own function as a cellphone. Your bringing only one gadget but has a lot of use. I am currently using my Oppo smart. It is known to its good camera lenses, it has a high defination outcome even without using any camera application to enhance the brightness, no filters needed. By its own built in camera application you can take pictures even in dim places no worries for good shots. The lights has its own auto adjustment.

Camera on cellphones are really great but I think 4 cameras in one phone is too much.

I think it is too much. The front camera and back camera is okay fro a phone. It is too much to have four cameras.

In my opinion the more cams a smartphone has, the clearer and better photos it can produce. I own a quad cam phone, it's a local phone brand, called Cloudfone, the model is Infinity Quattro and it's affordable, costs around $200.

I have never heard of a phone having four cameras This is the first time that I am hearing about such a phone. Most of the renowned companies don't have such a kind of phone which has four cameras. It must be some local brand that must be manufacturing them. If a phone has excellent front and back cameras there is no need for additional cameras to take pics.

I actually think that it's a very amazing step towards the advancement of technology. A lot of people would want to have cameras like that in their possession as we love to take photos. I can't wait for phones with cameras in 3D in the future. It would be very awesome.

I don't think that four cameras can take a three-dimensional photo in a single angle. Also using even a single digital camera can do that but in a multiple angle. So I think as for now that there are phones using two cameras can widen the captured space, phones with four cameras can double the space and enhance the features and photos quality.

I think it's good if it's actually useful and better.
Some manufacturers create "new" things for the sake of being "THE FIRST" to do it.
For example, people say "Oh "Brand S" did facial recognition years ago"...
Yes, facial recognition isn't new but I think Face ID did so much better, I mean the technology behind it is amazing in every way.
So if 4 cameras can't outdo dual cameras, then it's most likely just a gimmick.
