The problem is secondary school

Go ahead: that the iPhone 16E Count on just one camera is simply unjustifiable. We want to use more cameras or not, the addition of a wide angle or optical teleobjective is a minimum to demand in this price range.

The evolution of camera systems on phones is A story of comings and goings. A few years ago it was The absurd fashion of megapixelsafter which the companies themselves have admitted that they are of no use if the quality of the sensor and the final process does not accompany.

Until not too long ago, fashion was to flood the phone with up to four cameras, including macro and deep cameras whose utility was also at least questionable.

There is so much obsession with the number of cameras that some manufacturers even add empty holes that look like cameras.

Everything seems to have stabilized in a current sweet point in which everything moves much easier: two or three camerasfour for the most ambitious (double optical telephoto). But even at this point of common sense we continue to face a big problem: the quality of secondary cameras in mobiles of less than 1,000 euros is minimal.

Apple wanted to solve the zoom problem as it did on iPhone 14 Pro: taking advantage of the 48 megapixels for Cut the central area and achieve a zoom “lossless“. For practical purposes, you have a similar quality to that of an X2 optical zoom Reddit They suggest that the ultra great angle does not enjoy the best popularity. There is a lot, a lot of work to do yet.
