Yeah, I'm not going to get the iPhone 7, but I'd much rather have the second camera give me 2-3x optical zoom than "black and white mode," which Huawei implemented first, and now Qualcomm is going to support it in its latest high-end chips by default. That means Android competitors won't have an answer to Apple's dual-camera zoom feature for at least another year. That said, this may be the first year in which a competitor clearly beat Apple in image quality, with the past two years, the competitors being "more or less equal", but not surpassing Apple. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-7-vs-galaxy-s7-camera,review-3906.html http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-7-vs-galaxy-s7-camera,rev...

The LG G5 has a dual camera, which is a wide angle and one not. It's not specifically tele though, but more tele than the other at least.

Pretty much all of the high end and midrange chipsets support multi-cameras, iirc the 820 supports 3 cameras with up to 25 gpixel @ 30 fps recording. iPhone didn't had the crown of having the best camera since the iPhone 3G/3Gs and even then you had options that could match the camera. Tom's Hardware is a pretty poor site when it comes to photography not only for mobile it tends to have the complete conclusion of virtually any other photography related website (e.g. Samsung's low light performance with the S5 which were considerably better than the 5/5S based on virtually every professional photography website out there). If you only cared about the camera you had plenty of options, however if you cared about the overall package then the iPhone tended to be the better device overall on many occasions. However if you go for pure photo quality then the problem aren't the 800$ flagships, but are the 200$ phones which most of them can product near or better in some cases quality photos simply because high quality sensors are easily available and are actually affordable today. A good source for actually mobile camera performance and benchmarks is probably DXO https://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles https://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles you should check them out.
