The primary sensor is to capture the details and for better lowlight performance. Obviously, the secondary camera is for the wide-angle mode and third camera is for the Live Focus bokeh effect.

For selfies, it has a 24MP shooter with pixel binning tech which combines four pixel into 1 pixel for lowlight shots. It also has an adjustable LED flash, Selfie Focus, Pro Lighting Mode, and AR emoji.
