- Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 phones have more cameras than the majority of other smartphones out there.
- The Galaxy S10 Plus, in particular, has a total of five cameras.
- I’ve taken some photos with each lens to show you what each does, and how the photos look.
Up until about 2016, it was pretty typical for smartphones to have two cameras, including the primary rear camera and a selfie camera.
Fast forward three years later, and you get phones like Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 Plus, which has a grand total of five camera lenses. There are three on the rear, and two on the front. The regular Galaxy S10 also has three cameras on the rear, but "only" a single selfie camera on the front.
I can tell you what each lens does and what their photos look like, but it’s better to show you.
Check out photos from each of the Galaxy S10 Plus’ camera lenses to see what they do:
Let’s start with the main, primary camera that every smartphone has. On the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, the camera is 12 megapixels with a field-of-view of 80 degrees.

The Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus also have a 2x zoomed lens, which has become pretty common on many Android flagship phones. This zoomed lens is also 12 megapixels and has a 45-degree field-of-view.

The third lens on the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus is an ultra-wide angle with a 123-degree field of view.

You get a better sense of your surroundings with the ultra-wide angle lens, but there’s some noticeable fish-eye style distortion going on, where the edges of the photo curve in toward the center of the photo.
