If CameraInfo#getIntrinsicZoomRatio < 1, the lens is considered to be a wide-angle lens. However, some mobile phones' macro lenses also return less than 1. In this case, how to distinguish between wide-angle and macro?

Hi, it depends on how you define a "macro" lens. Smart phones usually utilizes the wide-angle lens to take macro shots. So generally, if the macro lens has shorter focal length than the default camera, it will be categorized as a wide-angle lens.
