Nowadays, a lot of smartphones come with multiple camera sensors. In addition to the main sensor, they offer ultrawide and/or telephoto sensors.
So, which one out of the two has more use case scenarios? We think it's the telephoto. Here are 5 reasons why.
Telephoto lenses excel at bringing faraway subjects closer, allowing you to capture better details.
These sensors have superior portrait mode capabilities thanks to their longer focal length and shallower depth of field.
Ultrawide lenses are notorious for barrel distortion, which can cause straight lines to appear curved. Telephoto lenses generally have no distortion.
Telephoto focal lengths offer a perspective closer to what the human eye sees, making images feel more natural and familiar.
Telephoto lenses open up creative possibilities like selective focus and compression effects, allowing you to isolate your subject.
