For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

And that translate to us normal plebs in what way? And how much of a population you/your job/your requirements representative of the general population?

It seems my logical comment cause some of you camera junkies to get butt hurt. Good to know why even a below 200$ smartphone is coming with 5 different cameras.

Do you think users actually have to pick the camera and select rangefinder before taking a photo?

For the average user, which doesn't mean teen social media user, the added cameras let them take better pictures. My mother in law doesn't know or care how many cameras her phone has. It takes a good picture of her grandchildren.

That's all that matters. The extra cameras and rangefinder is what makes that possible without her needing to know anything. The extra cameras are completely transparent to the end user. They don't have to know or care.

Let's see my old ass Samsung note 4 took the same quality of pictures with one camera module. Without the need of the range finder, laser focuses and bazillion extra cameras with different lenses. Somehow it managed.

Yes the average plebes like me doesn't choose the fucking range finder and you don't need bazillion cameras on your phone to took a decent picture. Your subjective experience with your in-laws doesn't change the fact that you don't need those extra bells and whistles.

Those extra cameras doesn't bring ease of use or better picture quality neither your arguments in this discussion.

Let’s see my old ass Samsung note 4 took the same quality of pictures with one camera module.

Same quality as what? Because there are objective, reproducible tests that I can show where my Pixel 7 pro outperforms the Samsung note 4.

The note 4 has no optical zoom, where my Pixel has a 5x optical zoom. This gave me good photos of my son on stage in orchestra which would be a few pixel blur on a Samsung note 4.

The note 4 has no wide angle camera so getting that Christmas dinner table photo with everyone in the photo was an easy pinch zoom-out instead of attempting to stand in the far corner of the room and still missing some people.

Average users want their phones to take a good photo. I linked proof of that in the other reply. Average users don't care what goes on behind the scenes for that to happen.

It doesn't matter whether it's one camera or 5. It doesn't matter whether there is a rangefinder. What matters is the photo.

You claim to be an average user yet your obsession on how a good quality photo should be achieved, rather than how it is currently done is something only a technical user would care about.
