Mockup render

The LG V50 ThinQ has three cameras on the rear while the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 Pro is expected to debut with four. The Nokia 9 PureView currently holds the crown for most rear cameras with a total of five. But if a new leak is to be believed, Sony could soon take things a step further.According to tipster Max J. who is known for his accurate Samsung leaks, Sony is currently developing a new Xperia smartphone that’ll boast a whopping six rear cameras. It’s unclear at the moment how these will be arranged – the accompanying render is simply a mock-up – but they will apparently be paired with a further two sensors up front.

The exact details of Sony’s plans remain a mystery at the moment, but the device will presumably include a telephoto camera accompanied by a separate super-wide-angle alternative. Considering the recent popularity of Time-of-Flight sensors, one of these could be a candidate for the setup, while the remaining two could potentially be monochrome sensors for improved detail in low-light scenes. Regarding the front-facing cameras, it’s claimed there will be two. Presumably, there will be a primary sensor accompanied by a wide-angle camera, although, once again, exact details are yet to be revealed.
