MULTIPLE-LENS CAMERA PHONE: If there is more than one rear-facing camera, use the primary one. Typically,
the primary is a 1x wide-angle color camera, and the other camera(s) are secondary.

For Apple dual camera phones, the primary camera is the one closest to the corner. Use photo or video mode
only.

For Android, the primary camera can be determined by which does not show an image in your app while blocking
the individual camera.
