The thought just struck me. If we have 2 cameras, surely we should be able to capture video or take photos in 3D? At least through fancy software magic? Obviously we couldn't play back 3D on our phone displays, but I'd love to take 3D video and save it as an SBS (side-by-side) format for playback on my 3D TV. I'm not expecting this to actually be a reality, but would it be possibly in THEORY?
Is there a technical reason why dual-camera phones can't take photos or videos in 3D?

The dusl lenses are very different - one is telephoto. That's why they have two...

I did think of that, but even thought the images wouldn't be exactly identical, the normal lens could match up with the telephoto lens digitally, and still theoretically produce the "same" image.
This option will be coming to the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 next year... You will be able to make 3D photos and videos content similar to Nintendo 3DS. Not sure if it will be available on Note 9 but I know it will definitely be there in 2019.
How would you know what will be in the Note 10 when the Note 9 isn't even out?
