The title is strange; this seems to be describing dual cameras, not just dual lenses.

One important advantage I'd expect but not listed: an increase in effective dynamic range (the ability to capture more range in shadows and highlights in the same photo [1]) may be possible if there's a sensible way to interpolate data from the 3x and base focal length cameras (which seems to be the case, if the low-light claims are to be believed).

That was my thought too... I was thinking that it was some new system of lenses for physical zoom.
