LG V40 could have a total of five cameras, because more means better

The race to more cameras has begun

After Huawei’s incredible success with the P20 Pro, which stuck more cameras on the back to improve image quality (and it worked!), other manufacturers are looking to follow suit.

Rumors have been swirling around about Apple and Samsung installing a similar triple-camera setup on their 2019 flagships, but it’s possible LG will beat them to the punch.

That’s because the successor to last year’s flagship, the V30, could have a total of five cameras to boast — that would be two in front and three on the back.

Currently dubbed the V40, it’s on course to releasing during the V-series’ usual September timeline, and will come with the most number of cameras on a phone to date, if sources are to be believed.

This isn’t the first time LG will implement two cameras in front; however, the application may be beyond merely better-looking selfies, since the setup is rumored to enable an advanced form of face unlocking known as 3D face mapping.

While it’s less certain what the trio of cameras on the back will do, we’re assured that they’ll focus on greater versatility in both photography and shooting videos. A combination of wide, ultra-wide, and optical zoom lenses could be a game-changer and a threat to Huawei’s imaging dominance.

Now, this begs the question: Are we entering a new smartphone camera race? Since the megapixel wars died down and everyone accepted the fact that more megapixels don’t mean better image quality, we may now be facing a future wherein manufacturers will brag about having more shooters in place.

If so, I honestly wouldn’t mind. Anything’s better than companies comparing the size of their camera notches.
