Evelatus Expert – Why do phones have multiple cameras?

Have you noticed that most of the latest phone models have 2, 3 or even 5 cameras? Have you ever wondered why you need so many cameras? Some people think that the more cameras, the more megapixels and better overall image quality, but that’s a myth. An Evelatus Expert will tell you why more cameras are important!


If your phone has multiple cameras, then each camera is responsible for a specific function that complements the main camera. These functions can vary depending on the phone model.

Depth of field or depth sensor


Depth of field focuses the main subject and leaves the background blurred. This feature is available on most phones with two or more cameras.
