Chinese smartphone brand Vivo has patented a new smartphone design which is quite unique in terms of design, especially when it comes to the camera module. The design shows a penta-camera setup on the back with two camera modules.

The first camera module on the back is a circular one which houses three camera sensors. There’s a second camera module just below the first one in a pill-shaped housing that holds two more camera sensors. It we see closely, it seems that the phone will come with a periscope lens setup.

Vivo Penta-Camera Design Leak

On the front side, we can see that there’s a single punch-hole cut-out for housing a camera sensor. While the design has been leaked, nothing is known about the phone’s specifications at this point in time.

Since the phone’s back design seems a bit similar to the Vivo NEX 3 and the periscope lens setup on the back is similar to the Vivo X30 Pro smartphone launched recently, it is being speculated that the phone in question is a flagship offering from Vivo.

While it is not yet known what smartphone will have this design, it is being speculated that the smartphone could be the much-awaited Vivo NEX 4. There’s a possibility that it is an entirely different or new phone. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for some more information about this smartphone to emerge.
