The number of cameras is growing at a rate such that now DSLR makers are even worried. It’s really tough to understand what someone will do with so many cameras, but surprisingly companies say each lens a specific camera function.
Huawei launched a three-lensed P20 Pro early this year while LG launched a Penta-lensed V40 a week back.
HMD Global is supposedly working on a five-lensed Nokia 9 flagship and there are a bunch of other manufacturers trying to multiply the number of lenses. The latest is to join Samsung who recently unveiled its tri-lensed Galaxy A7 in the country.
Two new smartphones have surfaced online tipped to launching with four cameras each. On Samsung A9 there are going to be four cameras at the back while Lenovo S5 Pro will come with a total on four cameras, two on front and two at the back.
