Unpopular opinion: Smartphone makers need to ditch ultrawide lenses with telephoto

I'm an avid smartphone photographer interested in street photography and clicking human portraits. I've captured photos on my phone for over a decade, from budget-oriented $100 smartphones to the best camera phones such as the Vivo X200 Pro, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and the Oppo Find X8 Ultra. Smartphone cameras have evolved throughout this journey. Phones back then had a single camera. Over time, dual cameras became the norm on budget and mid-range phones, while flagships have triple or quad camera setups.
