对于这个问题，大部分人应该都有话说，现在的手机摄像头实在是太 TM大了。自从圆形的凸起镜头模组成为大部分品牌旗舰手机的标配之后，这个镜头 模组正越发放肆地变大，有的品牌的模组面积甚至已经超过手机背面的三分之一。 更大的屏幕、更大的电池、更大的容量...大家对手机配置总有一种"越大越好"的执念，但手机摄像头是不是也"越大越好"？ 虽然客观来说这种不加节制的变大的确让手机拍照的效果更好了，能用的焦段也变长了，但巨大的摄像头模组除了「难看」和「千篇一律」的问题外，还 有一个更令人厌烦的点是「硌手」。 比如用右手抓着手机时，自然翘起来的食指本来该自然搭在手机背面的右上半部分；但因为镜头模组的存在，硬生生地把你的手指顶了出去；哪怕手指还 能放在手机上，也不可避免地和硕大的镜头模组干涉，这种感觉实在太难受了。 对于消费者的这些吐槽，国产手机品牌的回应是： 知道了，但我们的摄像头还能更大。 特别是"外挂镜头"这玩意火起来之后，更是将手机摄像头的形态从巨大的火山口变成了一柱擎天的金箍棒。但在以前做外挂镜头的多半是第三方小厂，也 就是"非正规军"，现在正规军，品牌手机厂也要下场了。 在 4 月底跟随者 vivo X200 Ul ...
