A phone with Light's multi-lens camera tech is in the works

30 June 2018
Light's multi-camera setup will be introduced in a phone later this year.

Sort by:

"" deliver DSLR-like performance in low-light conditions and capturing whopping 64MP images.""

So why not just invest in one-two bigger and better sensor and optic? No one would mind if phone would be 8-9mm thick even on camera part as far as it will make good pictures...

If single sensor on dslr can make amazing images with perfect quality, effects like DOF and good night shoots its proof that amount of sensors dont matter.
It is helpful but with today technology we could easily squeeze big and complex optic of dslr in smaller form, only reason why they dont do it its because of money. But weirdly they have money to spend on some weird and useless 1000 sensor phones....

Not to mention that most of problems in phone cameras lie in software. Just spend more time on algorithms of camera and you will get better results...

      WTF will those 9 cameras do? And which SoC is powerful enough for that processing maybe dual Snapdragon 845?

                  We used to complain to every brand that has a bad R&D that they always copied Apple, but today we're realized it why. Tried hard to being so artistic but they failed lol

                        Sheesh, I don't know why the hell this is exist. Such a waste uninnovative device.

                        Why do you make a phone that has 16 camera with versatile of lens config, while you could make a phone preloaded (rather than making it sold separately would definitely a DOA) with a mini lens mod that has a big range of focal length?

                          If only it doesn't disappoint anymore after watching MrMobile's (Michael Fisher) review of this device.

                            JohnyJR, 01 Jul 2018Probably more than one snapdragon 845.OwO that would be awesome. I think it's also the first ever dual chipset phone

                              If the quality is indeed that of a high-end SLR then it would be worth it to not carry a big camera around. Tough sale unless they can prove it with examples.

                                  Trypophobia guranteed ,just looking at the image itself gives me creeps

                                    I'm sure it's necessary for whatever reason, but the way the L16's cameras seem to be randomly laid out always bothers me when I look at it.

                                      They should just stop, no one will buy that because it'll be too expensive. The sales figure of IPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9+, Huawei P20 Pro and all the phones of the same kind have shown us that people are not willing to pay over a 1000 bucks for smartphones whatever the amount of tech you cram inside. As far as I'm concerned I'll never pay 1000+ $ for a phone that cannot at least get me through 3 days of heavy use on a single charge with all its special techs and camera craziness.

                                        Kiyasuriin, 01 Jul 2018I wonder which chipset they are using if the total is 64 MPProbably more than one snapdragon 845.
