The Next Nokia Smartphone Will Feature Unique 5-Camera Setup

HMD Global's next smartphone, the Nokia 9 PureView, may come equipped with an interesting-looking five camera setup, according to an alleged leaked launch video of the device shared by rumor site MySmartPrice and leaker Evan Blass.
The video depicts a Nokia device with seven rear circles, dedicated to five ZEISS cameras, a flash, and other sensors.
According to the promo video, the five camera setup allows for five simultaneous shots to be captured at once and then combined, allowing for features that include "10x more light," "incredible texture and detail," and "stunning crisp HDR photography."
Like many other smartphones, the new Nokia device supports refocusing the depth of field after a shot, but the specifications for the device don't go into detail about the benefit (if any) of five cameras other than improved crispness, texture, and low light performance.
The device also features a 5.99-inch display with bezels at the top and bottom, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and support for Android One, an unmodified version of Android created by Google for a more consistent Android usage experience.
Since Apple and other manufacturers introduced a dual-camera design, smartphone manufacturers have been aiming to one up each other with more and more cameras.
LG and Huawei have both introduced three camera rear setups on their most recent smartphones. LG's triple cameras allow for different perspectives because there's a wide-angle lens, a super wide-angle lens, and a telephoto zoom, along with 3D lighting effects and HDR features. Samsung too has been increasing its camera count with the four camera system in the Galaxy A9.
Rumors suggest that Apple is planning to up the number of rear cameras in the next-generation iPhone, perhaps introducing a three camera system with features like improved low-light performance and 3x optical zoom.
HMD Global is said to be planning to unveil the new five camera Nokia smartphone sometime around the end of January.

What’s with those ugly bezels?
[doublepost=1546480090][/doublepost]
No need for bezels.
And Android that’s unblemished by OEMs/carriers? Macrumors might have just shown me my first android phone in 5 years.
It does look tempting, but then the video says 2 years of updates as a feature. Good for Android. Weak for iOS.
Soon as Android loses the awful material design flat aesthetic and veers towards a more intuitive less-flat UIx, it'll be a real jump-shipper contender for me too.
Christ, they actually beat the XKCD Phone 2000’s four camera setup. And that was just made as a joke:
At this rate, we’ll see 30 camera phones by he end of the year.
This is seriously getting ridiculous.

What the heck happened? I blinked and my phone turned into a camera that makes calls.
All it used to take to impress me was changing from rotary dialing to touch tone on land line phone.
In years gone by i’d get that paranoid feeling there where cameras looking at me from everywhere. Medication helped.
Not so paranoid any more. And no need for the meds anymore, it’s true now!
