Re: Dual-lens Android cameras: are all unable to shoot RAW+tele?

I think it's disappointing that most reviews don't cover RAW. Yes, in-phone JPEG processing can be quite effective, but it's a default interpretation by a piece of software. Post-processing in LightRoom or similar allows the user so much more control. Given that the telephoto lenses on these smartphones is actual hardware rather than a software workaround (such as the digital zooms featured previously) it seems to me illogical that the feature isn't enabled for the non-processed RAW option.

Re Open Camera, yes I enabled the API. I may try contacting the developer to see if he can add the facility.
