This. People who don't know any better always say things like, "What a gimmick. Two cameras is so stupid." Nope! I love the second, 2x zoom camera on my S9+ for the same reason: it allows me to get good, much more natural-looking up-close photos without that weird distortion you normally get from the main, wide-angle lens.
For example, here are two similar-ish photos. The former was taken with my S7 Edge, and the distortion is clearly present, making the left rear of the car bulge out. By comparison, the latter photo is taken with the secondary 2x optical zoom camera on my S9+, and looks WAY better.
