Don’t forget the flash. It sits right next to the lenses, looking smug. In the UK, the flash is usually a single LED, sometimes two. It’s dead bright. Point it at a friend in a dark pub, and they’ll look like a deer in headlights. It’s not glamorous. It’s just a little scream of light captured in a chip.
But some phones are getting fancy. They have multi-tone flashes that try to make your skin look warm instead of like a blue zombie. Others have laser autofocus sensors that look a bit like a red eye staring at you from the back of your device. It’s creepy. Honestly, if you stare at your phone’s camera cluster long enough, it starts to look like a pug’s face. Just me again?
