Dual 48MP Camera Setup

The iPhone Duo comes with a dual rear camera system comprising a 48MP Fusion main camera with 2x optical zoom and a 48MP Fusion ultra-wide camera.

The phone also features a Center Stage camera on the front cover and a FaceTime camera positioned beneath the inner display. It supports video recording at up to 4K resolution and 120fps.
