Recently, Huawei had released an official teaser promotional image in China. It offered a glimpse of the device as a silhouette with an octagonal shaped rear camera module. However, a known leakster on Twitter (@RODENT950) shared a clearer and enhanced version of that image focusing on the camera module. This image was probably for one of the higher end Pro variants that house six cameras on the rear.

At the moment, the specifications of these cameras are currently unknown, although, the leakster believes that it might be a Hexa camera setup with the primary sensor being a 108 megapixel sensor and at least one periscopic zoom lens. Furthermore, the leakster also shared another image on Twitter, which stated that the new Mate 40 Pro / Mate 40 Pro Plus will feature professional grade video recording.

He stated that, “With Mate 40 pro/pro+, you no longer need to carry that massive video camera with you and still get the same stunning results.” Unfortunately, these are still unconfirmed information at the moment. So take this report with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates and the launch event, which we will be covering as well.

The Nokia 9 PureView still holds the record for the smartphone with the highest number of rear cameras but that may change soon as Sony is said to be working on a phone with six rear cameras.

Alleged configuration for the cameras have surfaced and they are from phone designer Max J. (@Samsung_News_). In his tweet, he did say the specs might change on the final device but these details are what his source as provided. He has also made renders of what he imagines the phone will look like.

The unknown Sony smartphone will have a 48MP sensor with a variable aperture of f/1.2 and f/2.4. We want to believe this is the primary camera. It will also have a 12MP camera with the same variable aperture. Both will be paired with a 20MP camera, a 16MP camera, and an 8MP camera all three with an f/2.4 aperture. The sixth camera is said to be a 0.5MP ToF sensor.

There is no mention of the type of lens the main five cameras will have but we can assume there is a telephoto lens and an ultra-wide angle lens and maybe even a monochrome lens too.

The phone will also have dual front-facing cameras – a 10MP sensor and a 0.3MP ToF sensor.

The renders show the phone will have a 21:9 aspect ratio and a rectangular housing for the six cameras. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear which means it is probably on the side or Sony may surprise us an put it under the display.

The phone should come with a 4K display, a Snapdragon 855 processor and hopefully, a big battery.
