    Magicdave99, 11 Jun 2019sony is not nokia. so expect it to achieve something great... moreMna cSony cant be compared with Nokia with Carl Zeiss lens and especial pureview one.
    Only a proffesional cameras such as Canon EOS-1D X Mark II or Nikon Z6 etc are better,
    Sony is just average brand with a premium prices on everything.

      more cameras means smaller, poor cameras like those in the Nokia.

          Shui8, 11 Jun 2019Great. Because its a waste by just implement it on previous... moreSince they have deal with Light just like HMD did it could be a similar arrangement. With 2 RGB + 2mono , then UWA and Tele.

          Another possiblity is do triple the XZ2 setup by doing Wide + mono, Ultra Wide + mono and Tele + mono. So the Ultra High Sensitivity could for for all focal lengths.

              I'm a big fan of Nokia but I don't mind Sony taking inspiration, they are good with cameras too, and I've only used the Xperia Tipo but I love the design of Sony phones, they are also unique, e.g. Xperia SP.

                  If you never saw Nokia 9 pureview bokeh effect photos and other nokia 9 photos dont say they are equal to any other flagship.
                  Nokia 9 uses special sensors and a special program made by Nokia 9 only which takes good 10 seconds to capture and load the photo but the final effect is far beyound any current flagship.
                  By the way Nokia 9 have 6 cameras if we include telephoto. 3 monochrome and 2 colour but article says its a 5 camera setup.
                  Even a telephoto stands for a camera so it counts.

                    April Fools again? :P
                    (OK my body's ready for everything after that monstrous Nokia abomination. Though the design elements of it still whisper of the legendary Finnish company -- in my view. Same as their first "new" lineup, some newer ones and the current ultra-budget offerings. Imho Nokia 3, 5, 6, 8, 1, 2, 6.1, 7, 7+, 8 Sirocco (to an extent), 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 1+, 3.1+ and 9 do smell like the legendary Nokia many dearly miss. Other phones -- your average Chinese "meh". Sorry for the offtop :D too lazy to wait for an appropriate moment haha)

                        But inconsistency between camera versatility will appear (only main camera got the monochrome benefits). As for me, i dont mind with that.

                                The 34:9 highway phone upcoming. The longer version of their giraffe phones. With a longer hump of the ugly Apple off-center version of the nice Mate 20 one too.

                                  Huh ! Tell the Sony that...instead of using 6 camera...it’s better to use 1/2 inches or 1 inche camera sensor...which will produce much cleaner and detailed high ISO images than 6 camera...Nokia 9 also used 6 cameras but Lowlight image quality at high ISO is worst ever...

                                    i dont understand what so much about this, Sony make the sensors but their department of software need to be changed.

                                    Sony phones are good, but their camera app is a disaster, noisy pictures, grainy as f***...no wonder why i stop buying Sony phones for long.

                                    so, they can put as much as 10/15 or more, if they dont improve software then is just gimmick.

                                        With those camera amount, maybe additional TOF & monochrome, or even a different Xperia flagship series that follows Light/Nokia 9 style.

                                        If things done right, it'll be great. Looks like Sony has brighter future since Xperia 1 released. Surprise us Sony!
