Corephotonics is a company which has made a dual-lens camera concept for smartphones (though they do not work for HTC). The main reason why the dual-lens camera is so amazing is the fact that each of the two lenses has a different focal length.
One of the lenses is wide-angle, while the other is at 3x zoom. This allows people to take pictures of distant objects without using digital zoom (which distorts picture quality)
The dual-lens concept also has advantages in video recording as it provides a smoother zoom by using a mix of digital zoom and lens-switching. Another benefit is that low-light performance can be improved by adding separate sensors to each lens. The dedicated software for the dual-lens camera has also been developed by Corephotonics and works in real-time to match corresponding pixels from each lens. The lens then uses scene analysis to recognize which pixel is closer to reality. This produces a clearer image.
The most amazing advantage, though, is the fact that the dual-lens provides a degree of depth analysis much like a 3D image. This provides extra control over images, such as automatically blurring out the background in portrait shots, quicker autofocus and augmented reality..
