When you open the camera app on practically any smartphone today, you get more or less the exact same (dare I say predictable) camera perspective. Whether you choose an iPhone, a Pixel, or a Galaxy, the primary camera defaults to a wide 24mm focal length. And that’s for a good reason — it’s a safe, versatile choice that easily captures vast landscapes or large groups.
However, it also forces a distinct, almost distant way of framing your daily life. As someone who shoots often enough with a dedicated camera, the switch in perspective has been noticeable to me, but it’s not something I’ve given much active thought to until I started using the vivo X300 Ultra.
