Need and Composition Of The Triple Camera Setup?

Putting more than two rear cameras on a smartphone has become very popular. Mainly due to the reason that a third sensor can provide added functionalities like optical zoom, ultra wide viewing capabilities, monochrome functionality and even more. Noteworthy, this depends on the type of sensor that the OEMs chooses to implement on their offering.

According to previous leaks and rumours, the triple camera setup on the upcoming OnePlus smartphone will be comprised of a 48 MP primary sensor, an f/2.4 aperture equipped telephoto sensor with 3x zoom capabilities and an f/2.2 aperture equipped 16 MP ultra wide sensor. Clearly, the telephoto sensor will allow the OnePlus 7 to capture close up shots while keeping distortion at bay. On the other hand, the ultra-wide sensor will enable the smartphone to capture images that have a considerably wide field of view (FOV).
