Okay, so I'm excited - Huawei is sending me on their new Mate 20 ... which, like the P20 Pro has 4 lenses (3 on the back, 1 on the front).
I love how they've changed the lens layout on it from a vertical to a sort of 'quad' style - and then folks are finding inventive ways to have cases look interesting...
Well, if 4 isn't enough - LG has just patented a 16 lens design.
That's right ... 16 lenses. And that's just the back:
A 4x4 matrix of lenses on the back - who knows how many in the front?
Is that too many lenses? I can guess that it's going to have features similar the not quite so well known Lytro which let users refocus a photo after it had been taken.
