LG patents a phone with 16 cameras and the software to use them

26 November 2018
Arranged in a 4x4 array, the cameras will be angled so they capture the scene from different perspectives, which can be stitched together.

Anonymous, 26 Nov 2018You're forgetting no love for the modding community.IDGAF about the modding community. Yes, Nokia 8 (which is my current phone) is modable now because of the recently unlocked bootloader but I won't risk losing warranty for unlocking it without knowing what to do next with it.

I'm just a basic smartphone user, kinda like a guy who uses an Android phone with a iPhone user mindset.

    all we need is just a fk camera. 1 camera. or 2 maxim
    as Camera photo do canon or nikon has for DSLR


    better focuse on battery phone 10000mah or 20000mah.

      At first glance, it's kinda stupid, but if you actually think about it, it's a cool concept, though 16 is too many

I set it to 1080p and the sample provided by him was amazing! Truth be told that the V40 seems neutered just because of the feature to use 3 cameras at once to give off a zoomable picture or something.

                    I bet it will be a case of 16 cameras but no 3.5 mm jack? ROFL! Pathetic.

                      They should just do it and we'll see the results. We all saw what disappointment the V40 turned out to be despite its triple camera set-up

                        No way? This is an old Nokia-Pelican technology. Multi-lens array camera

                            Why can't there be one camera with BIG sensor which equals to 16 camera sensors. Does DSLR or Camcorders has 16 cameras to take great pictures or videos. It all depends on the sensor quality and size.

                              I didn't mean HMD Nokia. I already lost hope for HMD Nokia the moment they say that the Nokia 9 won't have a headphone jack.

                                nice concept, although real-life may prove it wrong.
                                Unless it's a flagship, more cameras mean a few budget ones at half the price of a decent one

                                  Those must be many of tiny small camera sensor.

                                  Otherwise it will cost you $6000 at least lol.
