The number of cameras on phones will continue to grow, and soon they will fuse data from multiple sensors at a time to produce one image or video (and not just in portrait mode), like this camera from a few years ago:

Processing all that data, especially in real time, will use an increasing amount of processing power.

You'll have a DSLR level of quality and control, a depth map of every photo and video, much better post-shot refocussing, etc.

The iPhone already does this, outside portrait mode. It’s called Deep Fusion and triggers on well lit photos shot using either the 1x or 2x lens (aka not on the 0.5x, super wide, lens).
