Nokia Smartphone with Penta-Lens Camera in the Works

[Megalith]

HMD Global is rumored to be working on a Nokia smartphone that features a penta-lens camera (a camera with five lenses). On a physical level, it is being compared to the OZO, Nokia’s 360-degree camera designed for creating virtual reality content, but its functional capabilities are still a mystery.

Apparently, the penta-lens camera will feature a circular form factor with seven holes in the middle that form a circle. Five of these holes will accommodate the camera's lenses, while two of them will house the LED flash. It will look very much like a showerhead.

Has a bit of an Imperial droid look to me.

Oh yeah? What will they do if a competitor comes out with SIX lenses?
