Weekly poll results: wide cameras still beat telephoto ones as monochrome ones fade

It's time to tally the votes from last week's poll results about the ideal secondary cameras on the back. What you prefer to have on your modern smartphones and how the trend has changed over the course of the year since we asked the same question last.

We see a close battle between two sensors, but this time around, monochrome has fallen out of fashion.

This probably also explains why the "advanced sensor" option was so popular.
