Why Do Smartphones Have Two Cameras?

30 Comments

1. here in india most of the second camera is used for depth or potrait mode..why didnt u explain that

2. Very cool. Now, I’ll have to tell the lady to stop zooming in while taking pics. LOL

3. So you get higher resolution xD (double the camera, double the resolution duuh)

4. ∞ CAMERAS

5. Who's Bubbles?

6. Phones are becoming a camera first and making calls a distant second

7. What's up with the video quality? You're slipping Linus. lol

8. They should make 1 camera at crazy high megapixels with a wide angle lens. Shoot wide angle, normal, or telephoto with 1 camera by zooming/cropping

9. So that people can take selfies of themselves for real and in the mirror…

10. Just watched an ad about lastpass, hosted by Linus…. I thought is was a sponsor LOL ?

11. I don’t mind of a big optical zoom, i use to carry the Samsung S4 zoom everyday.

12. Because the companies are like Valve and can't count to three.

13. (Looks at the back of my pixel 3 xl) do they?

14. Okay this makes sense, but what about phones with 7 cameras??

15. Watch them start putting 2 cameras on the front… lol

16. It is an upgrade for hackers to get panoramic views of you in your underwear

17. Abviously so they can sell it for a higher price… one of them is fake…

18. I'd rather have one good lens than two crap ones!

19. Deja vu?

20. cant we translate our eyes into digital pictures? but ofc without optical zoom

21. Digital zoom is good for ghetto tech aesthetics!

22. Linus at 1.5x playback speed is a highly animated tech squirrel or weasel being.

    I like the 1000% enthusiasm increase. I FEEL THE TECH URGENCY!!!

23. The 3DS had two areas in 2011

24. Phones actually have 3 cameras

25. I have a normal p20, I'm a HUGE fan of the secondary monochrome. Sharpness increase in normal shooting is actually surprising over covering the second sensor with a finger. Nevermind the genuinely good monochrome pictures it can produce

26. I dont believe depth sensor

27. 2 is better than 1!!!

28. What is LCD , plasma , led and oled

29. This 5:13 is the second youtube video I’ve watched today where the call-to-action felt like a lazy request for a blow job‽. (r/whoosh ?)

30. Now I want a dual sensor dslr.
