AI photography drives trend toward fewer smartphone cameras


How many cameras does your smartphone have? My iPhone 16 Pro, like the Google Pixel 10 pictured above, has four, which is above the current average according to new data from Omdia’s Smartphone Model Market Tracker 2Q25 which shows that the number of cameras in smartphones is falling.
Smartphones that shipped in the second quarter of 2025 had (on average) 3.19 lenses, which is down from 3.37 during the same period last year.
