LG may squeeze five cameras into its next flagship phone

LG may be taking a cue from The Onion when it comes to overkill product design. A source talking to Android Police claims that the next V-series smartphone (possibly the V40 ThinQ, according to Evan Blass) will include five cameras. Two of them would sit on the front and might be used for depth-based face recognition, while the remaining three would sit on the back and could provide new depth-of-field or zoom effects. Otherwise, you'd be looking at what you'd largely expect: an upscale version of the G7 ThinQ from earlier in the year. It would include a notched display, a Snapdragon 845 chip and a Google Assistant button while throwing in V-series staples like a Quad DAC for improved audio quality. Earlier scoops had the V40 arriving in late summer or early fall.
