There are tons of phones in the segment of dual-camera phones now, but there are only few who are making the most out of the idea of a dual-camera. So, which are the most popular dual camera smartphone that we can find in the mobile market today? Let’s have a look.
1. Apple iPhone X
The iPhone X may not be just about the camera but it is one of the major talking points of the phone. The phone carries a promising set of lenses and it can focus faster, take better low-light shots, and a lot more. Spec-wise, the Apple iPhone X sport a 5.8-inch (1125 x 2436) pixels screen, an hexa-core processor and 3GB RAM. The iPhone X comes to us in two different models-64GB and 256GB, and as usual does not support any kind of flash memory.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Apple iPhone X packs a Dual 12MP (f/1.8, 28mm) + 12MP (f/2.4, 52mm) primary camera on the rear and a 7MP front shooter for selfies. The shots from the iPhone X are highly impressive, it shows huge improvement in low-light shots. Even when the light is fading, the details and colours look really strong. The phone runs iOS 11.1.1 and is powered by a 2716 mAH non removable battery. This phone comes with a price of $1250.

Its second rear camera’s 2x optical zoom benefits from optical image stabilisation (OIS). OIS means the camera actually moves to compensate for your shaky hands, and it’s something the iPhone’s telephoto camera lacks. The phone is powered by 2.3 GHz octa-core Samsung Exynos 8895 processor and it comes with 6GB of RAM. The phone packs 64/128/256GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB.
