Ideally it should record video from the main, ultrawide and the front cameras. The ultrawide in case something happens out of the view of the main camera and the front cam in case something hits you from the back (if the phone is mounted so it has visibility through the back window).
- michaelt 3y agoYou can get dashcams with both forward- and rearward-facing cameras. But they're mostly used by trucking companies who want to confirm who was driving, tell them off for distracted driving or if they weren't wearing a seatbelt, and so on. I think this feature would be unpopular if it recorded the camera facing the driver, once a few bad drivers got punished based on evidence from their own camera.
- usrusr 3y agoPhones have multiple lenses and sensors, but they don't have multiple sets of sensor readout capacity. Even when the theoretical maximum pixel througput (as in biggest sensor the SoC can be paired with) is big enough on paper to do all sensors in a time division multiplex, I wouldn't be surprised if the switch wasn't fast enough. (personally I'd love to have a camera app that did all-lens release for stills, I'm of the "beyond point-and-shoot" school of photography, shoot without much pointing, sort them out later)
- trishmapow2 3y agoSamsung has directors view which records front and back simultaneously. Would be surprised if flagship devices can't do this due to hardware limitations.
- michaelolt 3y ago> they don't have multiple sets of sensor readout capacity. That's wrong, Android has multi-camera API since Android 9 (API level 28). Modern phones can record 2 or sometimes 3 camera streams simultaneously.
