Best Quad-camera Smartphones to buy in 2017
So many trends, improvements and developments have hit the smartphone world. The latest of such trend is the featuring of four cameras on smartphones by Original Equipments Manufacturers (OEMs). Before now, the cliché thing was to feature lone optical lenses on the rear of a smartphone, and one other lens on the front to take selfie photographs. Later on things changed and the introduction of two (dual) cameras on the rear came about. And this surely went a long way in improving smartphone photography (or phonography as it’s been called). The placement of two cameras on the front of smartphones being churned out lately only makes owing a phone interesting.
So…are you selfie or photo freak? You take countless number of photos with your smartphone camera on a daily? Do you need a device that can satisfy your photography needs? Or you are after the best of images for your social media pages?
