What is the Nokia Dual Sight Mode?

The Nokia 8 features two 13MP + 13MP primary cameras from Zeiss, alongside a 13MP selfie camera. With Dual Sight, you can use all three cameras at the same time to capture split-screen images and videos with you and your subject simultaneously in the frame.

Nokia isn't the first smartphone company to do this. Still, they're the first to combine the Dual Sight mode with a fully-functioning live streaming system that connects to Facebook Live and YouTube.

When Should You Use Dual Sight Mode?

Dual Sight has advantages. It makes it easier to capture niche reaction videos alongside live telecasts of sports matches and concerts. Plus, it's a fun feature to have when you want a picture together with a distant loved one, or so you can record your baby's first steps side-by-side with your reaction in a single clip.
