Six cameras!? That’s the number of cameras rumoured to be featured on the ‘unconfirmed, but no doubt soon to be announced’ Samsung Galaxy S10 and Huawei P30 Pro.

The rumours of the Samsung Galaxy S10’s spec comes from a report from the Wall Street Journal, which also states the S10 will include a 6.7-inch screen, 5G support and of course, the six camera lenses. There will also apparently be five and three-lens models on offer, presumbly to ensure Samsung can hit as many key price points as possible – iPhone-style.

We have no idea what those six cameras will do but we all know that Samsung and Huawei are in a definite battle to deliver the best smartphone camera experience, and so far, upping the number of camera lenses has proved highly popular (there’s surely a limit here though!). Remember the days when it was Samsung versus LG every year? Huawei is Samsung’s new LG.

We already know that 5G is launching in the UK, and with the S10 rumoured to be 5G compatible, this would be a great partnership for both Samsung and EE, with EE rolling out 5G to 16 cities in 2019.

It’s also expected that the Huawei P30 Pro will have six cameras. In an interview, European boss Walter Ji hinted of what’s to come, stating: “Next year we will definitely see more innovation in the camera, and now we have three, imagine four for next year.” Well, there’s the six for Huawei. Could it be that Samsung is also adopting this approach with four on the back and two on the front?

Samsung and Huawei have both had great success so far in delivering exceptional cameras on their smartphones but there is another challenger to the throne this year in the form of the Google Pixel 3. The Pixel 3 has been rated best camera phone in a number of reviews this year, with just a single camera on the rear but some clever machine-learning tech that allows for great photos, even in low-light without a flash.
