According to the patent, the wide-angle lens is placed in the middle, and the ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lenses are placed on the left and right sides of the main camera, at the same time, each lens has a different angle of view (FoV).
The three cameras are placed next to each other by default. In addition, the user can move the middle lens down (via the touch screen), while the other two cameras will move to both sides to form a triangle during the shooting situation.
As always, it’s just a patent application that may or may not become reality in the future. Well, if Samsung wants to apply this technology in the future, it will undoubtedly take some time to see the final result, because it is a brand new patent of Samsung Electromechanical.
