Phone cameras have advanced a lot over the last few years and are now starting to pop up on phones in an assortment of different, multi-camera configurations…. With most modern smartphones now having two or more rear-facing cameras, with at least a single front-facing (selfie) camera.
Even though phones are getting more and more cameras to improve image quality, image resolution, and image stability, it’s not yet possible by default to use both of your cameras (front and rear) at the same time for video recording or taking pictures. That said…. It is possible to use both cameras at the same time if you have an Android device and don’t mind using a little third-party app available on the Play Store.

Once the app is installed on your Android device, you can launch it. When the app first launches the camera will automatically be open and showing everything from the rear camera in the main window and in the small circle that is in the centre of the screen, you will find your front-facing camera (selfie). Although this is the default setting, it possible to reverse the positions at any time.
You will also notice a few icons below the main screen. The first allowing you to switch between camera view modes. The second is for taking pictures using both cameras. The third allows you to take video recordings using both cameras. And finally, the fourth icon is where you will find options for personalising the Double Side Camera. As with most camera apps, you’ll be able to find all of your recordings and photos within your phones image gallery.
