List of Smartphones with Dual Camera or Dual Lens Camera
Smartphones have come a long way ahead in the areas of advancement and technology. Back to the day from single core processors to dual & multi-core processors, from single SIM to dual SIM and now from single camera to dual cameras or dual lens camera smartphones.
A Smartphone with dual camera has two separate camera lens, each having their own sensors and both these camera are placed side by side on the rear or may be further apart in some phones. Dual camera smartphones are very new in the market and there are only few of them as of now. The idea behind the dual lens camera is to improve the functionality of camera and image quality of the picture taken by a smartphone, So that the quality of pictures look comparable to the ones taken by a DSLR camera.
How Dual Camera Works in Smartphone?
In a dual lens camera setup one camera is used to take the pictures and the other one is to capture the depth of field. You will also get faster Auto-focus (AF) with dual lenses and you can also refocus the picture even after you have captured the shot. With a dual lens camera you can also enable the 3D effects in the pictures making them look more visually appealing and astonishing.

So for Dual Lens Camera System in a Smartphone
First Camera Lens – For taking regular shots / pictures
Second Camera Lens – For adjusting depth of field
Both these Camera lenses may or may not be of same Megapixels but they are definitely of different focal lengths.
To know more about depth of field see the image below:
The image on the left side has less depth of field and on the right has greater depth of field. This is because in the right picture you can see the second horse in the background very clearly which looks blurred out in the left picture.
Advantages of Dual Lens Camera in Smartphones
Here are some of the advantages of having dual camera setup in a Smartphone.
Greater Depth of Field in Pictures
With dual lens setup you will get wider aperture if both cameras are working together. It allows more light to pass through the lenses to the sensor resulting in greater depth of field in the pictures. Here as I have explained above also that the one lens is used to capture the image and the other one is used to control or adjust the depth of field.
Faster Focus
Dual lens camera with give you faster or almost instant Auto-focus (~ 0.1 seconds) which is not possible in single lens camera smartphone.
Refocus Ability
Smartphones with dual camera can allow you to refocus the picture even after the shot has been taken. The secondary camera helps to perform refocus functionality. You can also create the bokeh effect by using the secondary camera lens by blurring the out of focus parts or background of a picture. Well the smartphone camera software also plays a large part in creating this effect.
Bokeh Effect
Better Picture Clarity
It has been said that Dual Camera Smartphones takes better quality pictures especially in low light conditions. This is because dual lenses allow more light to pass to the sensor which results in better picture clarity in areas with low light. With dual lens camera you will also get very good HDR images. A dual camera can also boost the pixel size which helps in capturing cleaner images (with lesser or negligible noise) as compared to the ones taken by single lens camera. It has also been seen that dual camera smartphones generally comes with dual LED flash for taking better and clearer pictures in the night.

Disadvantages of Rear Dual Camera Smartphones
The only disadvantage I have to tell you about the dual lens camera phones or especially the rear dual camera phones is that video recording is not that good in phones having rear dual camera lens system. They might excel at capturing still photos or images but they may lack quality in video recording department.

I want to buy honor 6 plus is it a nice choice…..and after buying I had heard that we can insure this by some private companies are offering insurance is it beneficial???
don’t have idea about insurance but i don’t see any point in insuring your phone.
sir plz can u explain???
it is just my point of view. nothing else
Buying honor 6 plus at 26499….is it a smarter choice??? or have to go for other phones???
Personally not a wise choice in investing that much money in a phone. You can find good smartphones in 10k – 15k range and i personally recommend LG L90 Dual D410, which you can get it at around Rs. 12k only. Read the full review at https://www.akshatblog.com/lg-l90-dual-d410-review-and-specifications/
Sir I really want to buy honor 6 plus…..is it a good phone or not???? Does it has quality??
Yes it is a nice phone and it has got a great camera (dual lens camera) for taking great quality pictures
sir how about its kirin 925 octa core processor does it compete with snapdragon 801…??
It is as good as snapdragon 801 so don’t worry about it.
How use this phone camera
I did not get you.
Sir please suggest me phone under 15k for daily and rough use…rough in sense tht heavy game is use nd less heating effect nd better performance… And what about the lenovo k5 note(13.5k) and with best in camera class(love to take picsfrom both cameras)…please suggest me sir…ty in advance.☺☺
I suggest you to go for Moto G4 Plus. It is a solid phone with good performance and camera.
But sir..uske features to k5 note ke jese ni h bhut diff. H dono me…
what features?
Sir like…ram kam h moto me…nd then processor then camera…
3GB RAM is enough for any use and Moto G4 Plus camera and processor is better than Lenovo K5 Note.
Okaie thnqu sir for your opinion.. I will go for moto g4 ty sir 😊
which one is best phone? redmi pro or honor 8
I would say Honor 8.
Plz suggest any brand smartphone in b/t 10000-14000 which has good ram ,rom especially good camera quality along with good processor urgently
I would say Redmi Note 3 (32GB/3GB RAM). It has all the things you need.
which is the best phone which beats lenova zuk z1
Redmi Note 3 can beat it quite easily.
Can I ask what is the difference between “Dual Camera” and “Dual Lens Camera”? Is the “Dual Camera” on iPhone 7 Plus a “Dual Lens Camera”? It feels a bit confusing and I’d like to know if I can treat them as synonyms…
Both are almost same things only it is just that some says dual camera and other refers as dual lens camera. In technical way dual lens camera has both cameras integrated in one unit and are close to each other as in iPhone 7 while other dual cameras may be a separate unit and are wide apart but on the same side only.
Thank you. But it seems Apple calls it “dual camera”, does that mean that Apple built two units in the device, rather than two lens?
They may call it like that but i think it is one camera unit in apple.
Thank you!

The best you can get is Honor 6X.
honor 6x has not good picture quality specially in low light, plz suggest other options
Almost all phones have average performance in low light. Also there are no good options under 20k in dual camera phone. If you want a very good single camera phone with good overall performance then go with Moto G4 Plus.
i want to buy a phone under 20k. which have great camera.
so i have following option which i should go for?
1.oppo f3
2.lenovo z2 plus
3.moto g5 plus
4,asus zenfone 3 ZE520k.
For camera go for Oppo F3
I want to buy a phone. But I’m confused between Nokia 6 and Moto G5 Plus. Nokia 6 is quite good but the problem is it has low processor. Nokia 6 has 1.4 Ghz octa core sd425 processor where Moto G5 Plus has 2.0 Ghz octa core sd625 processor. Again Nokia 6 has 16 mp(R) + 8 mp(F) camera where G5 Plus has only 12(R) + 5(F) camera. Both have 3GB + 32 GB versions. These are the main differences between two of them. Now please suggest me whether I should go for Nokia 6 or Moto G5 Plus or Other phones with high configuration… My budget is 250-270$
Moto G5 Plus is certainly more powerful than Nokia 6 and my choice would be Moto G5 Plus only for the price.

Hlw Akshat Ji!
Please suggest best smartphone? My requirements:
1. Fastest in surfing.
2. Good battery life that would last easily for 1 day.
3. Best camera
4. Can play 3d games efficiently.
Currently, i am using One plus 2.
Problems:
It is becoming slower n slower since last 4 months. App restarts on own and so unable to play online games like LUDO. Now, it takes 30 minutes to do 5 minutes work. I mean work that I used to do in 5 minutes earlier, now it takes 30 minutes to do the same! Mobile also gets heating while running the apps. Will repairing mobile be wise option or buying new device?
Factory Reset the phone (complete erase option). Make sure to backup your data before doing it.
I already did factory reset my device 2 times but problems did not get solved.
Is Samsung Galaxy M31 worthy to buy? My requirements:-
1. Fastest surfing
2. Play games online like ludo
3. Battery lasting 12 hours at least
4. Best camera
5. Device should not get heating while running apps or playing games like ludo
It looks pretty good.
Thanks for reply. There are 2 variants in this model…6GB RAM/8 GB RAM. Which one i should take to meet my requirements? Can u plz suggest more good options at similar price?
BTW link of Samsung M31 is:
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07HGJKDQL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1EWEIV3F4B24B&psc=1
8GB RAM with 128GB storage model will be better for future.
Does this Samsung Galaxy M31 can run Zoom meeting (video) for 5 to 6 hours smoothly with no heating issue?
