One thing that I'm confused about though. If the two lenses are at fixed depths (i.e. 1X vs. 3X), does this mean that the benefits of better low light, blurred backgrounds, and augmented reality will only be supported at the largest depth (3X), since most of the information would not be available for the same shot at 1X (i.e. the 3X shot is missing two-thirds of the information)?

For example, how can it improve low light on the 1X shot for the pixels outside of the 3X frame?

It's actually even worse, isn't it? 3X has only 1/9th the solid angle, so ~90% of the pixels wouldn't be covered.
