Macro Photography with Smartphones - Guide for First Timers

Macro photography is my new love. Macro photos by all means are very close up - be it insects or flowers or anything else. It opens up a new boundary of the way you look into around you.  

Lately mobile macros are getting popular as smartphones are incorporated with four back cameras - primary, wide angle, telephoto and macro. Well macro photos taken by a smartphone's dedicated macro camera are not that great because their sensors are either just 2 megapixel or 5 megapixel. Out of them Poco has an interesting phone - X2 Pro which has telephoto macro. Unfortunately Poco X2 Pro was not launched in India. 

Now I own an OnePlus 6 bought in 2018. The 12 MP back shooter is above average and take decent photos, I am satisfied. The second back camera is actually offers the depth sensor - i.e. to take portrait shots with background blaring.
