Some smartphones have cornered rear cameras, some have centered rear cameras.

History​


While iPhones always had cornered rear cameras, Samsung implemented centered rear cameras for around a decade (2011 - 2019). With the Note 10, released in late 2019, they switched back to cornered rear cameras.

HTC and LG (no longer producing phones) only had centered rear cameras. Sony switched inbetween. While the Xperia S, P, and V had a centered rear camera, the Z series had a cornered rear camera for many years.

My preference​

I clearly prefer cornered cameras. Since the lenses are at a higher position while holding the phone horizontally, there is more space to place the fingers of the left hand without covering the lenses, so a corner camera smartphone can be held more comfortably.

Corner cameras are also better for macro shots since you can get closer to the ground by holding the phone horizontally upside down.

Now I'd be curious to hear your opinion.

The choice between cornered or centered rear cameras largely depends on individual preferences and specific use cases. Cornered rear cameras often provide a wider field of view, which can be advantageous for parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. On the other hand, centered rear cameras typically offer a more straightforward and consistent view of the area directly behind the vehicle, which can be beneficial for aligning with parking lines and improving overall safety.

For those looking to integrate advanced camera systems into their projects or enhance their technical skills related to such technologies, engaging with the best IT training institute in Lahore can be incredibly valuable. These institutes offer specialized courses that can provide deeper insights into camera technology and its applications, equipping you with the knowledge to make informed decisions based on your specific needs.

To me, cameras in the center of the phone are not aesthetically pleasing. I like the camera in the corner of the phone. A lot of things depend on the manufacturer of phones, not all of them make really beautiful phone models. Now everyone is trying to increase the internal characteristics and completely forget about the external ones. The ideal phone model for me is iPhone X.
