All iPhone cameras have a flash. Some of the least expensive smart
phones don't. As it goes with other things, you get what you pay for.

I have a Samsung, maybe mine works about the same way your does. With
your camera set to take a picture, you should see a triangle on the
left side of the screen. Tap it and you'll get a pop out where your
controls are (including flash) accessed.

Wide angle isn't bundled with cell phones. You have to buy it
separately. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/360535508854?lpid=82

Cell phone cameras are convenient, they are not trying to put digital
SLRs out of business. I love my cell phone camera, but I am not
trying to take professional quality pictures - I just want to record
things and events visually.
