Just got my note 8 and was testing the 2 cameras...
I noticed if i cover one lens then both modes (wide and zoomed) use same lens which is a bit confusing
Looks like same lens zooms in digitally
Maybe iv set it uo wrong?

The phone will switch depending on conditions.

If conditions are good, it will use the zoom camera. If not, it resorts to a cropped view but may use info from the other sensor to enhance the image via processing.

The EXIF will show which camera shot the image. The main camera has an f/1.7 aperture and a 4.3mm focal length. The secondary zoom camera has an f/2.4 aperture and a 6mm focal length.
