Smartphones with multiple rear-mounted cameras are common, but the trend is slowly growing for front-facing shooters. Those in need of more versatility need to look a bit harder to find the best phones with dual front cameras. This is why we have curated a list of our favorite ones.

The key to getting lots done is to make sure you have the right tools for the job. And when it comes to mobile development, that means choosing the right IDE for the particular app you want to make. Android Studio is great if you want to create something in-keeping with the Android aesthetic, or if you want to go the most common route to ensure maximum support. Unity is perfect for making 3D games without having to hire an entire team of developers.
