Race is on for more cameras on Smart Phones


Nokia with HMD Global is setting the stage for a Smart Phone with 5 cameras in a circular format supported by two LED flash. Nokia will probably announce this on Feb 15th ahead of MWC 2018 global event (Barcelona on February 25).

According to this site ,

"Multiple reports suggest that HMD Global will launch Nokia 9 and Android Oreo (Go Edition) based Nokia 1. Apart from these two phones, the company is also said to launch the Nokia 4, Nokia 7, Nokia 8 (2018) and the 4G LTE-enabled model of the Nokia 3310 feature phone"

Huawei is rumored to follow (with P-20 phone) next this band wagon.
