They say two is better than one and even better is four. Four cameras at the rear of a smartphone or ‘quad-cameras’, as they are popularly known, are one of the most desired features in smartphones these days and for good reason. They offer versatility that couldn’t have been thought possible four years ago, as you can now have multiple fields of view without having a bulky lens assembly. This means you can take high quality close up, mid and wide shots from a camera module that’s still squeezed in a slim form factor.
