WOW... 24% you don't say!!! It must mean that remaining 76% doesn't give a fuck and paying extra for the shit they don't use or don't need... How am I so blinded by my ignorance to see this!

No one looks for one because they don't need it. Companies adding extras doesn't mean it's better for the end user nor they need it in case they are your in-laws and what good picturs of their grandchildren... Neither your bullshit argument about people don't look for range finders because it's already in the product.

Let's see my old ass Samsung note 4 took the same quality of pictures with one camera module. Without the need of the range finder, laser focuses and bazillion extra cameras with different lenses. Somehow it managed.

Yes the average plebes like me doesn't choose the fucking range finder and you don't need bazillion cameras on your phone to took a decent picture. Your subjective experience with your in-laws doesn't change the fact that you don't need those extra bells and whistles.

Those extra cameras doesn't bring ease of use or better picture quality neither your arguments in this discussion.

I don't use them and I'm pretty sure overwhelming percentage of the user base doesn't use them either. Because I've yet to see an argument I'm buying this phone because it has a range finder. All these extra cameras hardware are forced onto us because of the social media/selfie craze. As for your personal usage case I can understand you're using range finder and measuring options but they are not utilizing different cameras. They are using phone sensors like gyroscope, acceleration, gps and algorithms not your different cameras.

As a side note you yourself admit that it's not something you needed but found out and did even trust it.

It seems my logical comment cause some of you camera junkies to get butt hurt. Good to know why even a below 200$ smartphone is coming with 5 different cameras.

They are not interchangeable lens's though are they? They are literally different camera modules with different optics. When you're talking about a camera (not a phone) that makes sense. I'm not buying a camera am I? I'm buying a phone so all those optics and camera modules are forced on me to purchase when buying a smart phone. That's the state of today's smart phone market.

Fucking planned obsolescence!!!

And that translate to us normal plebs in what way? And how much of a population you/your job/your requirements representative of the general population?

Nobody needs bazillion cameras, a range finder, laser focuses and shit that's needs to be in a professional camera hardware in a phone. You just need total of 2 cameras and a decent hardware. I don't want to pay for a extra N cameras in a phone.

Also what the fuck happened to changeable batteries. I had a Samsung note 4 and used that shit until 2019 when I broke it ( had some anger issues that year). Waterproof dust proof excuses can go have an intercourse with their phones. I used that phone in 6 different countries and all kind of weather nothing happened to it.
