Dual-camera setups for smartphones aren't exactly that new. But there are rumours of the likes of the iPhone 7 and LG G5 that would be sporting this type of camera system. Adding more credence to the rumours is the recent announcement by Sony's Chief Financial Officer Kenichiro Yoshida that "major smartphone players" will be using Sony's own dual-camera system.
He was asked by an analyst what his thoughts were on dual-camera adoption in the next one to two years and what these could me for operations. "Well, for next year, our so-called dual lens – dual camera platform will be launched by, we believe, from major smartphone players. However, as I said previously, recently, our smartphone market is growing and particularly, our high-end smartphone market is now slowing down. So, that may impact the demand or production schedule of dual camera smartphones by the major smartphone manufacturers. So, we believe the real start, the takeoff of smartphone with dual lens camera will be in the year of 2017."
