LG announced today that it will hold an event on October 3rd to introduce the V40 ThinQ, its next flagship phone and, remarkably, LG’s fourth flagship this year. The event invitation is adorned with the phrase “take five,” which is a little depressing as a product tagline. (It reads a little like, “it took five tries to nail this.”) But it actually seems to be teasing a new feature: the phone is expected to include a total of five cameras.

If that happens, the V40 might be the first smartphone to include five cameras — presumably, that’d be two on the front and three on the back. While that combination would be new, those setups aren’t unprecedented. Huawei included a triple-camera system on the P20 Pro earlier this year, and several companies have included dual-camera systems on the front. This number of cameras allows for some fancy processing effects, but mostly, it just offers different zoom capabilities.
