The rumours have been surfacing around Sony’s new Hexa-camera smartphone for quite some time now. Sony is reportedly working on an Xperia smartphone with six snappers at the back and two in front, which gives us a total of 8 cameras on the device. The record of the highest number of cameras on a device currently stands with Nokia with its Nokia 9 PureView mobile phone; Sony looks poised to take that position and will try to strengthen their selves in the mobile market race with this new Hexa-cam phone which is currently doing rounds in the rumours.
According to sources, the Xperia smartphone will sport a 10MP unit on the front paired with a 0.3MP ToF camera. And around the back, it will have a 48MP snapper with a variable aperture of F1.2/2.4. This will be joined by a 12MP module which too will have F1.2/2.4 aperture. This hexa camera setup will also include a 0.5MP ToF unit, with the rest of the modules having a resolution of 20MP, 8MP, and 16MP - all having an F2.4 aperture.
Most likely, the main sensor and the ToF unit in its camera system in this new Sony device will be accompanied by a wide-angle and a telephoto unit. As rumours say, the phone is likely to go official at the end of this year, or next year in 2020.
