Dual camera smartphones are so common now that single camera smartphones we’re caught off-guard by single camera smartphones. Some smartphone makers,
like Huawei
, have even gone and added a triple camera setup to their phones. Taking things to another level, however, is Light, the company that had made the L16, a compact camera with, you guessed it, 16 cameras! Not content with that feat of engineering, it turns out that Light is now working on yet another multi-camera system, this time on a smartphone and with 9 cameras.

Foxconn
, Light is going for a smartphone with nine cameras. According to a
report
in The Washington Post, Foxconn has invested in the company and Light already has a working prototype. Further, this 9-camera system shoots 64 MP images that will apparently offer superlative low-light performance and support depth effects.
