I've got an iPhone 7 from work. On the lock screen, if you swipe from right to left, the camera app activate.
On my personal Android, there is a camera icon on the bottom right, that you click and swipe towards the center of the screen to turn on without unlocking.
My favorite was my old Windows Phone, which actually had a dedicated hardware button to turn on the camera and act as a shutter button!
