6 Best Free Dual Camera Apps for Android

This post covers the best free dual camera apps for Android. For many years, smartphones are coming with multiple camera setups. It started with a reading camera, then the front, camera, and more cameras at the back. But the stock camera apps only let you use one camera at a time. Most smartphones nowadays have more than enough processing power to run two cameras simultaneously.

There are many third-party camera apps in the Play Store that let you use two cameras at a time. Such dual camera apps load both, front and rear, cameras at the same time. As a result, you get a dual camera view. Different apps have different approaches to this. Some apps provide multiple layouts where you can pick the position of both cameras. The blogging view and the split-screen view are two popular layouts. Apart from that, some apps offer options like color filters, picture quality, camera settings, etc. I covered 6 dual camera apps that you can check out by going through this post.
