Sony's six-camera phone has key specs leaked
![][1]
[Sony Mobile][2] has been the subject of rumours recently after reports of a six-camera phone emerged.
Some may have dismissed the rumours as ridiculous given it took Sony Mobile a while to switch to even [dual rear cameras][3], but another report has appeared, offering some more weight to the claims.
Max J, also known as [@Samsung_News_ on Twitter][4] was the source of one of the original reports surrounding the six-camera phone and he has followed up his initial tweet with some details of the specs. Turns out, Sony Mobile might be working on an eight-camera phone if you count the dual camera on the front expected.
According to Max J, the unnamed Sony Mobile device will feature a 10-megapixel sensor and a 0.3-megapixel [Time of Flight (ToF) sensor][5] on the front, while on the back, six lenses will be found.
In terms of specifications of the six, it is claimed there will be a 0.5-megapixel ToF sensor, along with a 48-megapixel sensor, a 20-megapixel sensor, a 16-megapixel sensor, 12-megapixel sensor and an 8-megapixel sensor.
Max J says all the five main sensors will have an aperture of f/2.4. The 48-megapixel sensor and the 12-megapixel sensor will have a dual aperture between f/1.2 and f/2.4 however.
No further details were offered and the images Max J tweeted were based on imagination so currently there is no indication what the device could actually look like, or what it could be called.
A [multi-camera device from Sony is plausible][6] though. Light, the company responsible for the [Nokia 9 PureView's five-rear camera array][7], previously said it was working with the part of Sony that makes the camera sensors, so it's not unreasonable to think Sony Mobile could be a part of the project.
After all, [the Sony Xperia 1][8] pulls heavily on Sony Alpha for its camera so maybe we will see this eight-camera smartphone from Sony Mobile in the not-too-distant future after all.
