Regarding the world of smartphones, double-back cameras have become very popular, whether in the premium or budget category. From Apple to Xiaomi, most smartphone manufacturers incorporate this feature into their phones. But it seems that the number of lenses or sensors on a smartphone could reach nine, thanks to a camera company called Light, which works on such a device.

According to the report, the company wants to announce this smartphone with multiple lens system later this year. The company also claims that the phone will be able to capture 64MP photos, give high quality depth effects, and better low-light performance than any ordinary smartphone with its dual or triple camera sensor.

With a smartphone, which has about nine camera sensors, the software will have to bademble all these images to form this high resolution image.

Currently, the L16 costs $ 1,950, according to the report. So, even if Light launches his smartphone with the features of the camera, you may not be able to afford it. Of course, since all this is still in the prototype state, we may not see this type of smartphone launched this year.
