Korean manufacturer, LG, has released a teaser for its forthcoming V40 ThinQ smartphone, boasting a total of five cameras.
 
The device is set to replace last year’s V30 as the company’s flagship handset.
 
While some graphical elements in the video, such as the one above, suggest an arrangement of five cameras working together, the phone actually features a trio of rear cameras with a dual-lens setup on the front of the phone.
 
Neither of these two configurations (front or rear) is a first for the smartphone world. Huawei’s P20 Pro famously sports three rear cameras (and currently sits at the top of DxOMark’s camera test results), while dual ‘selfie’ cameras are becoming increasingly common and can be found in many current handsets including the HTC U12+, Huawei Mate 20 Lite, and Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra.

What the LG V40 ThinQ promises then is the benefits of both multi-camera setups in a single device.
